This tutorial will show you how to turn on or off touchpad haptic click feedback for your account in Windows 11.
If you have a Precision Touchpad, the haptic motors deliver tactile feedback that simulates the feeling of physical clicks or taps, despite the touchpad itself remaining stationary. This gives you a more intuitive and immersive experience while using a Surface device.
You can specify the relative intensity level of the touchpad’s haptic feedback to what you want.
