[SOLVED] T480 thinkpad touchpad problem

I recently bought a T480 thinkpad and installed arch linux on it. my courser is shaking and moving weirdly I'm not sure if the problem is because of my arch linux or touchpad itself...
sometimes it happens when my first battery drains and my thinkpad switches to the second battery. and some other times it just happened in the middle of working. and some times it even stop working at all and just move slowly by itself (with shaking) and click on my screen rapidly.
and by the way I installed my arch with arch install script and I have KDE plasma.
I don't know what else to say if there is any information that you want please ask me.
