Touchpad sensitivity, gestures and settings are determined by the device connected to NexDock.
As suggestions:
– Please check DeX settings to make changes on touchpad settings
– Some of our customers are using apps such as Key Mapper to disable gestures.
– Optionally, sticking a trackpad protection onto touchpad might provide better touchpad sensitivity.
– If a mouse is connected, touchpad can also be disabled anytime pressing Fn+Esc key.
