I recently purchased an xps 13 9350 and was wondering if there are touchpad setting people like to use with the laptop?

Well, first things first, I hope you turned off acceleration (enhance pointer precision...

Next turn up or down sensitivity (not in windows, but in the control panel thing or whatever it's called).

That's all I know.

I've done both of those but thanks anyway!

Having no acceleration is horrible.

It either requires you to lift your finger off to move from one side of the screen to the other, or it's not precise enough to click on small buttons in programs on the 1080p screen.

I don't like how accel messes up your muscle memory. I find it fine to click on small buttons, and I don't need to move my mouse from one side of the screen to the other in one swipe.

If you get used to acceleration (just like you can get used to no acceleration) then the muscle memory is the same.

Moving the mouse faster moves the pointer faster, it's not hard.

It's a precision touchpad, so there isn't much to configure. If you're gaming with the trackpad (somehow) you'll need to disable palmcheck, otherwise it will not let you look/click while using WASD. I prefer mouse acceleration on, btw.
