Touchpad delay after typing

2

Whenever I type and try to move the cursor with the touchpad, I notice there is a small delay and the cursor won't move until about one second after a key is pressed on the keyboard. I checked my devices under device manager and it says that I have an ASUS Precision Touchpad. Is there any way to eliminate the delay?

Palm detection is enabled in your touchpad settings.

Turning it off will eliminate the delay.

To do so, go to : Control Panel >Mouse>Touchpad Settings> Palm Detection

And then change value to a smaller value, like 0.2

How do I get to the touchpad settings? I've tried to access it before but I can't. Unless you're talking about the windows 10 touchpad settings page. – Spectre – 2017-11-18T04:16:58.703

When I click additional settings, it just leads me to the settings for the wireless mouse I have. – Spectre – 2017-11-18T04:25:47.547

I don't have a Synaptics touchpad. It says I have an ASUS Precision Touchpad – Spectre – 2017-11-18T04:37:29.093

There are two companies that make touchpads for PCs: Synaptics, and Alps. Everything else is a rebrand.

Ok but when I go to Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software there is nothing titled Alps or Synaptics – Spectre – 2017-11-18T04:44:38.167

I found something else claiming that a touchpad driver update could help, but haven't been able to find anything else useful. – Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams – 2017-11-18T05:12:07.130

I just found out my touchpad name:ELAN/SA473I-12A4 – Spectre – 2017-11-19T08:48:31.717
