Reply to #12 It's an instant showstopper for Windows 10 users as well, suggesting to me that it's a hardware/driver problem. It has so much less resolution compared to my old Samsung R580's touchpad! It's impossible to target handles in Adobe Illustrator or to accurately target enemies in games, not to mention everyday mis-clicks that happen in the OS. It's driving me mad and I'm about to rip the touchpad out and just hack in an R580 pad that I can trust.

With mouse and touch screen as inpt devices, I have pixel-exact control of the pointer. In contrast, when using the touch pad as the input device, resolution is very coarse: the pointer jumps in small steps of approx. 5 pixels. This resolution is too coarse, e.g. for controlling graphical user interfaces with small buttons. Very often, when I tap on the touch pad for emulating a left click, the pointer jumps 5 pixels from where it was, causing me to actually click on a different button. (This can be quite annoying. Example: I regularly hit "suspend" instead of "log out" in the system menu). Can the pointer resolution be changed for the touch pad? If so, it should default to pixel-exact resolution.
