There are also several other synaptic Touchpad device such as Elantech. It is important to make sure you have the synaptic touchpad not ALPS or other. This is because some models do have variant, means if you own a Acer 4623 (example), you may see Acer provide 2 downloads for ALPS ans Synaptic touchpad. So we can say Acer 4623 Variant 1 uses Synaptic and the other variant uses ALPS.
