Wow, that's impressive! I wonder if screen size impacts score on that test? Both my test laptops were 15", which probably means more space between the bubbles.

At any rate, I'd be curious to know if libinput is your driver in use? If you don't know, `cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep "input driver"` should indicate the answer

Yep, looks libinput is the driver in use (it says, "Using input driver 'libinput' for 'SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad'").

I caution you against using just my anecdote to determine anything concrete, of course.

I get 244~ on both a 11" laptop and and a 21" external monitor.

Surprisingly I also got 292 (156+136 bonus) on the first try on Lenovo X1 gen 4 (NixOS, Xorg). Both synaptics and libinput powered touchpads have always felt perfect for me, with minor to none customization. (Currently my only setting for libinput is to enable natural scrolling.) However, I have no experience with the Apple laptops.

I like my xps, but I would never brag about the keyboard or trackpad. I really miss my old macbook's kb/trackpad. Its just that I want to run linux, not macOS these days

Is your username a reference to the ship in Halo?

What else could it be? Some new tree-resin-based fashion line?

Like the Tsurani?

Yessir.
