Only tested on the Precision Touchpad of the Surface Pro 4 Type Cover, could anyone else check their precision touchpad as well?

FWIW, this displays a "random" value (appears to be in the range of 20 - 40) on my Dell XPS laptop.

Edit: Seems to be working somewhat better with the revised code.

Edit2: Did you try using the predefined structures from winapisys.au3 with _WinAPI_RegisterRawInputDevices and _WinAPI_GetRawInputData?

@turbobaby @Danp2 Can you guys try this version and report what the raw data format looks like?

No, it is always remains empty and gives nothing back

The API retrieves reports with an embedded byte stream, the size and format of which depends on the specific device.

The code specifically asks Windows for reports from the "Generic Desktop - Digitizer" Usage (0x0D05) and so @turbobaby's plain-old touchpad, most likely registered to Windows as a plain ps/2 mouse, doesn't really send any data as a Digitizer.

I suppose it can be generalized to automatically retrieve the Preparsed Data describing the input format, but Microsoft's documentation isn't very clear on how to use it to actually interpret the data once retrieved.
