Dell XPS 15 9510 / Dell Precision 5560 ELAN touchpad firmware updates (might fix touchpad input lag)

0b.bin

0c.bin

README.md

The Dell XPS 15 9510 / Dell Precision 5560 (essentially the same model with slight nuanced differences) ELAN touchpad has some issues with occasional laggy input that noticeably drifts off or ignores input while making slow movements.

This gist captures the gudiance from this post in this thread discussing how to modify the tirmware version: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/libinput/libinput/-/issues/618#note_1837620

The firmware binaries are shared here respectively named 0b.bin and 0c.bin.

The install-touchpad-firmware requires the fwupd package be installed (or at least this is the name of the package on Arch linux. Search for whichever package contains fwupdtool on your distro).

In short, download the desired firmware(s) and the install-touchpad-firmware script, and execute the install-touchpad-firmware script with the file path of whichever firmware you wish to flash as an argument.

install-touchpad-firmware

#!/usr/bin/env bash

# sudo pacman -S fwupd

firmware_path="${1:?firmware path required argument}"
echo -ne 'Getting device ID...'
device_id=$(sudo fwupdtool get-devices 2>/dev/null|grep Touchpad -B2|grep -oP 'Device ID: +\K.+$')
echo -e "\r$device_id"
sudo fwupdtool install-blob $firmware_path $device_id

@m-bartlett Hi, I appreciate your gist, I face some issue with another driver for Touchpad device, from where / how were these binary processed?

I downloaded them from the links in this comment earlier in the thread linked in the README:
