XPS 15z Cypress Trackpad Drivers on Windows 10

Hi all,


even though my Dell XPS 15z is not officially tested for Windows 10 and probably never will be tested, I upgraded to Windows 10 yesterday.

Everything seems pretty fine, except for the (always horrible) Cypress Touchpad.
This is what happened:

1. After the Upgrade process finished, I found that Windows installed Synaptics Touchpad drivers.
2. My trackpad worked, except for no multi-touch gestures.
3. I uninstalled all drivers, cleaned files + registry via CCleaner and rebooted whenever needed
4. I installed the drivers I pulled from this post: en.community.dell.com/.../19579806
5. I checked if two-finger-scrolling was enabled in the driver configuration utility, checked and unchecked the boxes several times
6. I tried all kinds of other bugfixes for the infamous Cypress Trackpad driver under Windows 8 and so on

All in all, nothing helped - apart from the basic functionalities which the generic driver also provides, I have absolutely no gestures support. The driver simply does not seem to work at all, despite running in the background.

There seem to be similar problems with Synaptics drivers, only that there seem to be fixes for it.

I have absolutely no hope that Dell will release a halfway decent driver for this piece of junk they call a trackpad, but maybe other users have an idea on how to fix this issue.

Greetings

Chris

P.S.: I don't have to mention, that the lacking support and usability of this trackpad is the main reason that's keeping me from buying any Dell product anytime soon. This is the kind of stuff, that makes people buy MacBooks.
