So, I was looking to buy a framework, but really didn’t want a 3:2 laptop, plus I’m a 14" guy, and so I got the XPG Xenia 14, nice feeling laptop, dual side usb-c, and similar upgrades.
But the touchpad didn’t work during windows installation, thought it was just drivers, and tried to install drivers, and nothing.
I tried everything, then I went for a return, and looked to buy a Framework, watched Linus’ video again, and learned the Framework had a Pixart touchpad, like on the XPG.
So I thought “they must have drivers for their touchpad” AND YOU GUYS DO, the all-in-one package fixed my touchpad.
Thank you, Framework, although you didn’t get my purchase due to the screen size/aspect ratio, you got my trust, and possibly a purchase in the future. Thank You for basically being able to fix a non-Framework laptop.

Love to hear framework is fixing the whole industry at once… I find the aspect nice when browsing, because the actual usable area when scrolling with all of those BIG HEADERS on every website nowadays… It feels odd looking at a 16:9 screen, but I think it’s worth it. (I also have a 21:9 monitor, just avoiding 16:9 for some reason)

This fixed the touchpad issue for me as well. I can finally use my laptop as an actual laptop again instead of always docked. Thanks!
The drivers on XPG’s website are absolutely useless. For future reference I can cofirm it works with the Xenia 14 that has a 11th Gen Intel(R) Core™ i7-1165G7 @ 2.80GHz processor. I’m not sure if it will work with other models but it’s worth a try.
If your laptop’s touchpad still doesn’t work after running the all-in-one package and then a reboot, it’s possible the touchpad is disabled. On some models, there’s a tiny LED in the top left of the touchpad that’s used to enable/disable it. Double tap the LED to switch configurations.

Thanks for your amazing discovery! Your solution successfully repaired the touchpad on my 13-inch 11th Gen Core XPG laptop. As of today, June 4, 2024, the latest driver package is still working.
Thank you again!
