The features are far more configurable and theres no reason why these drivers cant be implemented.
ASUS DRIVER UPDATE MOUSEPAD WINDOWS
Synaptics are noted as the device type in all the reviews and spec sheets Ive seen on this machine and in all intents and purposes, is a generic unit which uses the windows precision drivers to operate.īUT Instead of using those drivers, i just want to use the Synaptics drivers instead. Actually they should work on any touchpad if you choose to replace the original driver as theyre all running the same protocols. The synaptics drivers should theoretically work on a synaptics touchpad. I certainly understand that certain drivers arent designed for other machines, but these arent proprietary or oem drivers. I have looked around for other alternative drivers and even went to Synaptics website looking for their generic drivers, but still no dice.Īnyone have any ideas how i can implement these type of drivers to my Asus704GW?Īnyone know of any drivers that operate in a similar fashion? theyre specifically for generic Synaptics touchpads, such as the ones found in the Asus.īUT there is nothing in Win10 to show that the drivers have installed, nor any feature of the driver available in any of the settings. Now ive tried to instal these same drivers into my new Asus, using my toshiba drivers and theoretically those drivers should operate considering theyre not OEM and theyre not locked to any HW aside from Synaptics. The rest is all identical to the windows stuff. In any case, the momentum might seem as though its not very accurate, but it actually is VERY handy and as accurate as you are with practice as you can 'catch' the pointer while in motion to find your target.
This helps when youre bouncing around screens and menus, such as when your using photoshop or any app that has tonnes of windows and menus and you have to bounce from. Its called momentum glide, where you move the mouse pointer and lift your finger off, and the pointer keeps moving in the direction you were going. This mimics the scrollwheel of your mouse. Touch the right hand edge of the touchpad, and a single finger scroll will follow your finger (like a default 2 finger scroll gesture on the asus), BUT this scroll can be extended to continue scrolling without lifting off the touchpad by scrolling that same finger clockwise or anticlockwise. or when one is zoomed in and requires extreme far travelling.such as editing a 40mp picture pixel by pixel.ġ) Scroll and continuous finger dialing scrolling (Chiral motion) This comes in handy when scrolling or entering finite numbers in menus and whatnot. which i cannot find on my system or anywhere else. Now in these Toshiba Synaptics touchpad drivers you can tweak your standard multi finger gestures and whatever else the standard Asus/windows driver do, BUT theres also 2 beautiful features which is surprisingly more useful that they sound.
Sometimes I have to work in confined space where a mouse is impossible so no need to tell me about using a mouse LOL And as I saw the "synaptics touchpad" as a 'feature' I thought it would be the same as what Im used to. Now one reason I bought the AsusStrixScar2 with the rtx2070 was for multimedia editing on the road. Like any piece of HW, go to control panel and go into the mouse settings and in here you find the actual Synaptic labelled tab to tweak the touchpad. To begin, I have used Synnptics touchpads on Toshiba laptops, and the touchpad driver actually has a configuration setting in the mouse options. Pls excuse the rambling as this is kinda awkward to explain.
Hey all, Im hoping someone can point me in the right direction.
