This tutorial will show you how to change the double click speed on a Precision Haptic Touchpad for your account on Microsoft Surface devices running Windows 11.

The double click speed setting is the time between clicks to register a double click on the touchpad.

If you find the double click speed too sensitive (fast) or not sensitive enough (slow), you can adjust the double click speed to what works best for you.
