Asus GL503GE touchpad not working

Hi

I recently installed archlinux on my Asus GL503GE laptop and the touchpad isn’t working, it works on windows so this is not a hardware issue.

I do not see any useful things in lsusb and lspci

[arch-kevin@arch-kevin ~]$ lsusb

I see

I’m not sure, but I think it could be my touchpad

I have installed libinput and xf86-input-libinput

libinput list-devices show

I see again  "ITE Tech. Inc. ITE Device(8910)" which is described as a keyboard pointer
When I print its properties with xinput and xinput list-props 14
