    Anyone have issues with the cypress drivers? When the cypress drivers are installed and I'm using google chrome it will constantly lose focus from the window. It's the most irritating thing in the world.

    I've tried using the windows default touchpad drivers but I got so use to 2 finger scroll along that it's hard to unlike it now.

    I've noticed that this only happens when i'm using the touchpad and only with google chrome.

    If I kill the cypress data collection services the problem goes away until a reboot. Otherwise this machine has been absolutely fabulous thus far.

    Any ideas?

    I have the 15z but do not use chrome, I have found the touchpad, very erratic and unreliable. sometimes it works and not. This is my second 15z as the first one had heatsink attachment issues and this is a replacement. running the newest drivers for the touchpad.

    The only time I don't have issues is when i'm running the laptop lid closed, plugged into a usb hub with mouse/keyboard and external display.

    So essentially this laptop is working better as a desktop, kind of want to find a way to fix the touchpad issues.

    Besides the fact the left/right mouse buttons on the touchpad sometimes get confused and think they are both right click.
