simultaneous

I have a huge problem with ElanTech touchpad. Without the ElanTech driver both the keys can be used at the same time(R+L). This is usefull in games like Mafia2 (can't play without it). When I install their driver I get the gestures, scrolling etc. but I can't use both keys at the same time. It is a common problem.

Acer Aspire v3-571G Windows 7 x64

This didn't work at all: Synaptics 15.3.41.5

Is there any universal driver which will give me at least scrolling and simultaneous keys usage?
