Status XPS 15z Windows 8 trackpad drivers?

Well, where are those XPS 15z Windows 8 trackpad drivers? Windows 8 has already been out for a while now. Even companies like Packard Bell have Windows 8 trackpad drivers for their budget laptops! Come on Dell, get your act together!

I already use the Windows 7 drivers and while it works, it's still not a very good experience. The scrolling for instance is very unresponsive. I need the Windows 8 gestures on the trackpad! Please work on this!

    Hi There,

    I'm in the exact same position as  pr0phecy69. I've tried manually installing  2.3.6.26, A06. Is there going to be a proper Windows 8 driver for the trackpad? Really struggling without it.

    Thanks,

    Justin

    Hi,

    I have raised this issue with our Dell Product Team. They are working on a new driver. No ETA. The Support site will be updated as soon as the new driver is available.

    Thank you.

    Thanks Royan S, I hope they will release the driver soon, I believe that will make a whole lot of customers happy!

    I believe you don't need my service tag anymore? Let me know if you still do.

    Yes, still waiting on the driver. It concerns me that we have to campaign to get our high end £1000 laptops supported by Dell yet other branded platforms were supported with all the relevant drivers on Windows 8 release day.

    I realize that there is no ETA, but can we at least get confirmation that the driver is still being worked on?  PLEASE???

    Yes, some update on this would be great. I'm currently using the driver for the xps 13z, which patchy at best Having paid over £1000 for my laptop I would have expected a better level of service.

    Hi Royan S, could you please check with the developers how far they are with the Windows 8 drivers? It really takes a very long time for just a trackpad driver...Every other major (and even less major!) hardware companies already have official Win8 drivers (with the gestures) for their laptops. Could you at least ask what the reason is for the hold up? What issues are they having? To be honest I too expected better service from Dell... :(
