    Hey there,

    how can I adjust the sensitivity of my touchpad? I want the cursor arrow to be more speedy when I touch the touchpad with my finger.

    Thanks!

    I agree it's very slow.
    Haven't found a way to speed it up as of yet.

    Just adjust your Mouse Speed in Pointer Options. It's the same as the mouse.

    Thanks chewyeong90. It's at least better than before.

    With my D630 there has been an appropriate software to that issue. Sadly I can't remember it. Something that came directly from Dell.

    @ViperGTS

    You sure ? Mine was very sensitive if I put it to the max of it. I left it at the mid point with Enhance Precision ticked and it's adequate for me.

    Did you try update to the latest Synaptics driver ? Maybe it helps ?

    @alex09

    No problem. Have you tried updating to the latest driver ?
    I have a thread here. Check it out ;)
