    I use the default config with the sensitivity turned up to 225% (which makes the touchpad’s left-right width equate to a bit more than the full screen width); that works fine for me. I play a lot of deckbuilders, point-and-click style games, isometric RPGs, tactics games, or just generally older / indie titles that don’t have good native controller support, and it’s been a lifesaver for those.

    It doesn’t feel as good as a mouse, I won’t claim that it does, but it makes those games go from “unplayable” to “playable” and that’s the jump I was looking for.

      Ahhh yeah that makes a lot of sense. I personally play games with super high dexterity demands for aim and whatnot, and the touchpads always felt like I wanted something better. Using it just to love a cursor reasonably at all is petty much ticking a necessary box.

      I pretty much switch which games I play on the go vs at home with my mouse and keyboard.
