I just finished setting up my new 13 Pro, and everything seems to work out of the box with NixOS and Wayland/sway (:tada:). However, I have noticed that tap-to-click on the touchpad requires a very firm tap. The normal click is fine, but if I try to tap-to-click, I need to push down almost as hard as I need to do a physical click, which feels odd. From what I can tell, this isn’t something that can easily be configured since it’s about libinput’s internal device mappings (I think?). Is this something others have also experienced, and if so, what have you done about it?

Did you try the steps in this?

Hmm, that’s to set the sensitivity though, which isn’t what I’m after. I want to set the tap pressure threshold/range.

I haven’t tried it, it’s not really clear what the difference between sensitivity or intensity is and if the sensitivity is cursor sensitivity or pressure sensitivity.

I’ll try it out later

Did you have a chance to try it out?

I could not get it to work. I’m on NixOS so the set up was a bit different. I might try and fiddle with it again but I like the standard feel of the touchpad out of the box to be honest.
