[solved] Touchpad recognized as PS/2 Logitech Wheel Mouse

I recently upgraded my kernel to 5.13.8 and after rebooting two finger scrolling on my touchpad wasn't working so i checked the xinput list and it's recognizing it as PS/2 Logitech Wheel Mouse

[cane@archlinux ~]$ xinput list
⎡ Virtual core pointer                    	id=2	[master pointer  (3)]
⎜   ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer              	id=4	[slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ PS/2 Logitech Wheel Mouse               	id=12	[slave  pointer  (2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard                   	id=3	[master keyboard (2)]
    ↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard             	id=5	[slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Power Button                            	id=6	[slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Video Bus                               	id=7	[slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Power Button                            	id=8	[slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Sleep Button                            	id=9	[slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ WebCam SC-0311139N                      	id=10	[slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard            	id=11	[slave  keyboard (3)]

I've tried looking for solutions but i can't find anything
Also sorry if this is a dumb question i'm pretty new to linux still.

Re: [solved] Touchpad recognized as PS/2 Logitech Wheel Mouse

I managed to fix it somehow after installing xf86-input-synaptics and libinput and messing with the config files
