> 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.
As 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.
Just 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.
With 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. ;)
First 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).
