Description
Created attachment 138836 evemu recording of a missed tap
I have a pretty new DELL XPS13 9370 laptop and using tap-to-click my touchpad is missing clicks every now and then (like, 1 every 5 or 6). It happens a lot more often with 2-finger or 3-finger tapping. I suspect this is due to the touchpad recognizing my finger moving during the tap, but it happens way too often to be normal (it NEVER happens on Windows with the same hardware and I think I use my touchpad in the same way regardless of the operating system). Attached is a evemu recording of a missed tap. Other than this I'm happy to report that the touchpad works pretty well (scrolling, palm rejection, accuracy...).
