    The driver is missing from all their systems' drivers on their website. I removed mine to attempt to update it but it fails every time. I read a thread stating the Synapse software causes it, removed that too. Still won't install. Now I'm stuck without a usable trackpad. The synaptics driver they included had too many bugs and was missing too many features so I felt an update was necessary. I can't believe they would omit such an important driver from their list.

    Disregard. Apparently Synapse acts as a driver updater as well -_- reinstalled Synapse and it reinstalled the software.

    Incidentally this fixed my other issue with "reverse scrolling" not showing up. Now I can scroll like I'm used to. Still nothing to disable touchpad on USB mouse detection though =/
