Pre-report checks

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I have a faulty internal laptop touchpad which introduces some random movement to the cursor. Magic Trackpad and your driver represent a solution for this situation instead of fixing the internal pieces of the laptop as long as the internal touchpad can be disabled independently to the Magic Trackpad.

Currently, in windows 11, when I disable the touchpad, the internal touchpad and the Magic Trackpad stop working.

Detailed testing scenario: -Windows 11 -Driver version Release 3979 -Magic Trackpad 2 through USB -Laptop with noise signal in the cursor position introduced by the internal touchpad

Describe the solution you'd like A mechanism to distinguish the internal touchpad and Magic Trackpad in the Device Manager in Windows 11. Currently, I can only see 2 drivers in Windows 11 (see attached image. I assume one is for the mouse and the other for the "touchpads")

device-manager

Describe alternatives you've considered To physically disconnect the internal touchpad. However, that requires a significant disassembly of the laptop since the touchpad is not easily accessible.

Thanks in advance. (and thanks for the really useful driver)
