K501U - ASUS Touchpad issues

I purchased a K501UW-AB78 notebook from Newegg about a month ago. It's great, other than the touchpad, which is not:
- The right click button does not right click about 75% of the time (left clicks instead, even if I right click on the most extreme right part of it)
- Two finger scrolling is erratic.... sometimes it's slow, other times it's blazing fast... No intertial scrolling functionality setting in driver, and Windows scrolling setting is set to the default 3.
- When the CPU is working hard, touchpad is not responsive - the cursor stutters across the screen and is uncontrollable

I reinstalled the touchpad driver, and tried several older versions as well as other Asus touchpad drivers for other models. Same issue no matter what (although some other models' drivers have more functionality than this one)

Wondering if anyone has any similar issues and if so any other suggestions other than throwing it off a cliff lol. It's frustrating. Yes I have a mouse but I use it on the go a lot and a mouse is not an option. Asus Tech Support, of course, suggested reinstalling the driver, which I did.

THANKS!

 

This seems like an issue with the key itself, does this issue still occur with the default Windows driver installed?
