And, that's why there are settings. I, for one, detest tap to click. It's the first thing that I turn off when going from one laptop to another - mostly because my fingers can't get the "finesse" that's needed to avoid clicking on something accidentally every time I touch the trackpad. For me, windows laptop trackpads are the worst. Its something to do with the windows normal response to pressure. I have tried multiple times over the years, and can't get it. So, tap-to-click is off.
I tried out the pad on a Surface Book recently. I could never use it. That touchpad felt worse than the cheap junk in netbooks a few years back. I did only use it for a short time, a couple of hours, but glad to give it up, too. Maybe it was just a faulty one. The owner didn't have much good to say about it at the time, either.
Just my experience, and I have another friend who can't live without tap-to-click. He doesn't understand my problem either, but everybody is different.
