Touchpad Issue in Doom on Windows


Recommended Posts

So this keeps happening to me, when i run doom (any source port) and then i fire, it takes very long to respond, i have to click a bunch of times until it responds, and it keeps firiing without me pressing anything, i use synaptics in here, and also, HOW did this happen? in linux none of that is there.

Touchpads aren't really designed for games and end up with input behaviors that are meant more for for UI navigation. Typically this includes the touchpad being disabled while you type on the keyboard, but can also manifest other problems such as the mouse click events being incomplete, due to not really having an on/off state.

 

From the description, I suspect your issue is with the keyboard temporarily turning off the touchpad. This I believe is a windows option found in settings->devices->touchpad.

Palmcheck may not be the setting you're looking for (and if it is, it'd have to be off, not minimal). As you don't have Windows 10 I don't know what setting controls it for you, but it'll be something along the lines of "tap delay" or "smart sense" perhaps.

I could not find those, here is a screenshot of the program :
