Dell Latitude Ultrabook, E-Family & Mobile Precision Reimage “How-To” Guide
2.6.15 Touchpad
o Microsoft XP 32 & 64-Bit, Vista 32 & 64-Bit, and Win7/8 32 & 64-Bit Operating Systems do
not include the Dell Touchpad drivers
o The Microsoft native OS mouse driver only provides basic point and click functionality. No
advanced features are available with the native driver and this may provide a less than
optimal user experience
o Dell recommends installing the appropriate Dell Touchpad driver for the following user
experience benefits:
1. The driver is tuned to the system characteristics to offer enhanced cursor
acceleration and precision
2. The driver provides the core palm rejection features
3. Access to additional features and control setting (varies with system) including:
Enhanced scrolling and tapping
Touch sensitivity control
Multi-Touch Gestures (2nd Generation)
Jog Shuttle control (M6400 & M6500)
Differences between Dell Touchpad devices and drivers:

st

from the 1
st
generation (Dell Touchpad / Pointing Stick) and 2
nd
generation (Dell Multi-
Touch Touchpad) are NOT compatible. Dell strongly recommends only installing the
appropriate driver for the system. 3
rd
generation Latitude Touchpad driver is backward
compatible on 2
nd
generation Latitude systems
o Dell Touchpad drivers are found under the “Input Device Drivers” section posted on Dell’s
driver & downloads support web site (support.dell.com)
