Thank you!

I was also wondering is VoodooI2C better than VoodooPS2Controller in terms of tracking (no need of gestures)? I have a Precision Touchpad and I think is compatible with VoodooI2C by checking its documentation page.

The I2C bus should provide a better experience than PS2.
I have no I2C hardware, therefore no experience with the I2C kexts.
Perhaps you should try both and compare.

Yay! it worked, tracking is Great!
three and four finger gestures work fine. But two finger tap is is doing left click sometimes and right click sometimes randomly. I am also using VoodooPS2Controller for keyboard.

Overall, I am satisfied except two finger tap, do you know any way around this? Thanks! Screen Shot 2018-04-20 at 9.08.28 PM.png

You should bring your issues to the I2C kext author.
See FAQ for link:

Congrats on your hackintosh!
Brightness keys can be fixed by using VoodooPS2Controller kext and a DSDT patch. See #1 of:
https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-patching-dsdt-ssdt-for-laptop-backlight-control.152659/
(its the BRT6 method), if you become familiar with DSDT patching, you can do this easily.

If you don't need hassle of DSDT patching, for now you can use Fn+B and Fn+S keys for changing brightness in OSX if you are using VoodooPS2Controller kext instead of ApplePS2SmartTouchPad.

Cool. I have handed the laptop over to my mate to do some heavy video editing. I will give that a go when I get it back again :)

Once you have your Clover configuration all setup, reboot the laptop and boot with “-f” (no caches) to be able to rebuild the system kext caches.

im a complete noob and i'm not sure what you mean by "-f" ?

Everything up to this point worked PERFECTLY with me just to be clear. Im booted into High Sierra right now, just don't know what that means. So I press a special key?

You can change boot arguments (kernel flags) in Clover options.
Or if you're using the RehabMan build of Clover, you can simply press spacebar, then check the "without caches" option.

Unsure if i'm using your build, I'm using Clover r44393 (which I presume is the most recent release) but if i'm using the regular option do i just go into options and set it?

No such thing as r44393. Perhaps you mean r4439... which is not my build (my latest build is r4444).

You can add any kernel flags (Boot arguments) you want in Clover options.
Any changes you make in Clover options are transient... just used on the subsequent boot.
