Inbuilt touchpad missing clicks (Dell XPS 13" 9380)

Describe the bug I installed this driver on a Dell XPS 13" after receiving a new Magic Touchpad 2.

After installing, I noticed that on occasion, hard-clicks (pushing down on the pad, as opposed to tapping lightly) on the built-in trackpad didn't seem to register.

This wasn't always the case however - it seemed to register clicks around 50% of the time.

I tried restarting the machine, as I thought perhaps it was unrelated, but that didn't resolve the issue.

I have since uninstalled the driver and haven't noticed it happening since.

This doesn't make sense to me, as my understanding is that it's a driver for a completely different device, and I confirmed in Device Manager that the inbuilt touchpad was still using the default windows drivers, but I thought I'd raise here just in case it's something you know is possible, or could understand a reason this might be the case.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

• Install driver on a Dell XPS 13
• Disconnect Touchpad from USB
• Use inbuilt trackpad, and use hard-clicks to click on things

Expected behavior

• Clicks register every time

Traces N/A

Environment

• Dell XPS 13" 9380
• USB Driver for Apple Magic Touchpad 2
• Windows 10 enterprise 18362.720

Low priority for me, as I intend to use this on a desktop with a mouse anyways - was just testing the driver/device out after initially receiving it.

Happy to help debug if you think this is a plausible issue, but also happy for you to close.
