FakerInput Disabled Touchpad

[DJZK]

Describe the bug 2/2 of my laptops got their mousepad disabled after installing FakerInput. But external mouse seem to be unaffected

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. On 1st open of DS4Windows install the controller drive
2. Install the HidHide without rebooting
3. Install FakerInput
4. Reboot
5. Mousepad works on Login Screen, but not after you logged in

Expected behavior Mousepad is not affected and i should be able to use my Laptop well

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• Controller Make and Model: N/A I think, but i use DS4Windows both for DS4 and Switch Pro Controller
• OS: [e.g. Windows 10 Pro Build 22H2 19045.2728]
• DS4Windows Version [e.g. 3.2.9]

Additional context I used both Dell E7250 and HP Omen 15 CE003NA

Windows would just see the FakerInput mice (relative and absolute) as two different connected mice. I would think that conflicts would only occur if a virtual mouse event is being sent at the time. Are you using external software to handle using the laptop touchpad? I would figure something else has to be conflicting if only the laptop touchpad is affected. Maybe you can try to disable the mice devices in Device Manager temporarily and see if that helps. You would look for the HID-compliant mouse devices with a Location of on FakerInput Device listed in the properties.

It makes sense. The touchpad drivers disables mousepad when an external mouse is connected.

I turned that setting off and everything works fine now! We can mark this as resolved.
