How's the touchpad and trackpoint experience? Are you using libinput?

I'm using libinput. It seems fine to me. No trackpad has come close to my MBP trackpad. However, this one is fine for my purposes. I will say that I'm not a heavy trackpad user though. I use a tiling window manager and use vimium to scroll in Chromium.

The only modifications I made to the stock configuration was to enable the following flags in my Xorg config:

  Option "DisableWhileTyping" "0"
  Option "Tapping" 1
  Option "TappingDrag" 0

Enabling tapping makes it match my preferred tapping behavior I had on my MBP. I disabled TappingDrag to prevent spurious drag events. The first flag was to let me use the trackpad while typing so I could do some light gaming using the trackpad.

On the X1 gen 5 using synaptics it misses proper palm detection. Oftentimes I accidentally place the cursor at odd places when typing. truly annoying. Possibly there is a fix. any pointers appreciated.
