Dell XPS touchpad problems with Windows 10
I got a new Dell XPS 13 laptop last week. It's really nice, but the touchpad was dodgy. I've never had problems with touchpads before; they've always been reliable. This one is very fancy, but when I made small movements it didn't respond properly. Especially in the vertical direction, if I moved my finger a small amount nothing happened at first, and then it would make a tiny jump once I got a certain distance.
Other people seem to have had similar problems, and other problems with e.g. scrolling.
This post seems to have fixed that issue for me: https://www.reddit.com/r/Dell/comments/3nbjbp/yes_a_solutionactual_working_fix_xps_laptops/
(see one of the comments at the bottom for more detailed info).
Now the scrolling seems to be unreliable though. Swings and roundabouts.
It looks like it's a Windows 10 problem, and not really Dell's fault.

This seems to have been fixed in the Windows 10 anniversary update.
