If the mouse option is not found in the hardware, check if the touchpad driver is working properly.

You can try to open the touchpad by pressing the Fn+F6 shortcut. Note: Some ASUS may be turned on or off touchpad with Fn+F9, but some brands of notebooks are different. For details,please refer to the instruction manual of the corresponding brand notebook or search for the information in google.
5. Touchpad stops working after sleep mode
You need to wait for a while to allow the touchpad program to respond to your touch, and if it still doesn't work, you close all open programs and restart your computer. At the same time,you need to make sure the BIOS has been updated to the latest version. The bios version update may solve some program errors after sleep mode.
6. The touchpad is not smooth or cannot be moved
Make sure there is no dust,grease, liquid or food on the touchpad or on your fingers (the touchpad must be in close contact with your fingers for operation).
Make sure there are no things that prevent the touchpad buttons from moving. Most touchpad have some click or touch response when fully pressed. If there is no obvious response after pressing, there may be foreign object under the touchpad that causes the ASUS laptop touchpad not working properly. I use a toothbrush and cleaner to clean it.
7. Check if the laptop detects the touchpad
View the mouse and touchpad settings and select the hardware. If the touchpad is not detected by laptop,try reconnecting the touchpad to the computer's motherboard.
