I own the Razer Blade 15 (2018) laptop with the Microsoft Precision Track pad, and the 4.16 or the 4.17 kernel was not able to detect the track pad.
I do believe that this is affecting all Razer Blade 15 laptops, due to the nature of the issue.
I tried both the 4.16 and 4.17 kernel, both did not detect the track pad. However, the 4.17 kernel didn't work with my WiFi card, so went back to 4.16.
I have included my ~/dmesg, ~/devices, /var/log/Xorg.0.log. Just going through it myself, it appears that 'Razer Razer Blade' is sometimes being tagged as a mouse ([ 326.038] (II) event11 - Razer Razer Blade: is tagged by udev as: Mouse). Weird.
