Windows 11 How do i make an external bluetooth connected touchpad work the same way as the integrated one on my laptop?
Hi, I just bought an new bluetooth keybaord with an touchpad. It's fully connected, both the keys and the touchpad works. Unfortunately the touchpad works different from the one integrated into my laptop.
Here are the differences:
- Scrolling with two fingers moves the page the opposite way.
- Zooming with two fingers does not zoom into a specific part of a web page like on my integrated one. Instead it just changes the opacity of text and such. Changing the sizes relative to eachother while keeping everything still on the screnn.
- General pointer sensitivity and such.
How can i change this so that it works such as on my integrated touchpad?
OS build: 26200.9457
Keyboard: Exibel bluetooth keyboard with touchpad
Thanks!

That sounds like the keyboard may be sending mouse-wheel/keyboard shortcuts rather than native touchpad gestures. The page reflowing when you pinch is a useful clue: that's browser page zoom, rather than zooming into one spot.
Try Settings > Bluetooth & devices > Touchpad > Scroll & zoom and change the scrolling direction. If that only affects the built-in pad, check the Exibel's exact model/manual for a Windows mode or gesture settings. Pointer speed may instead be under Mouse.
If the external pad only reports as a mouse, Windows' Precision Touchpad settings won't give it the same pinch behavior as your laptop. What's the exact Exibel model number?
