> Linux touchpad scores on par with Macbook touchpad per mouseaccuracy.com testing. As of today, I can consistently score twice as high on macOS (average score 250 with “Hard” + “Small” options) vs Linux (average score ~100).
I've never tried Linux on a MacBook, but those must be some really bad drivers. I used my trackpoint on the same size/difficulty settings and scored 160. I'd probably do better with practice.

- seba_dos1 8y agoI've scored 345 on my first try ever with xf86-input-synaptics and Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19486081 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19486081
- ggreer 8y ago> Still nowhere close to 250. Right, but I was using a little nub on my keyboard. I don't expect it to be as good as a trackpad.
- justinclift 8y agoWith that website, is it just a matter of clicking on the red dots as they appear? Asking because clicking on them here doesn't seem to be registering. eg I can click the buttons to start/end the recording session, but clicking on the dots does nothing. Score of 0 at the end. Then again, I'm super tired so could have missed something super obvious. ;)
- gpm 8y agoThat seems to be it.
- justinclift 8y agoThx. :)
- gpm 8y agoJust got 210 on my first try (and 225 on a second) on linux-on-a-lenovo, same size and difficulty settings.
- yorwba 8y agoJust for fun, I tried that test using my Android phone as input device via KDE Connect. The first time I got 0, because I usually only use the remote input functionality for clipboard sharing, but then I got it up to 12. What killed me was the input lag. It wouldn't surprise me if the Macbook drivers had seen a lot more work on latency optimization than the Linux equivalents.
- wbharding 8y agoAs I've seen more responses here, I started getting curious about how screen size impacts results with that game, so I ran a few test runs on my desktop. I'm finding that my score varies by around 30-40% depending on the size of the viewing window, with smaller windows being better. So the results I posted, for 15" screens, figure to be lower than what folks would score with a 13" screen (or if using 15" with small viewing window). Not to say that others won't be better at the game than my control runs, but I think that's going to contribute to some pretty high variance among ad hoc results reported here.
- stordoff 8y agoFirst time score, Hard and Small on a Windows trackpad - 295 250 doesn't seem to be anything to write home about, but I get the feeling the limiting factor is not the trackpad / trackpad drivers (so comparing users doesn't seem to make much sense).
- mireq 8y agoTotal score 289 with Thinkpad T420 (148 Points, 141 Bonus) with settings hard / small.
- doubleunplussed 8y agoI got 226 with the trackpad on my Dell Precision 5520 in Arch Linux under libinput. I'm all for improvement, but it doesn't seem that bad.
