🚀 Starfield lands on PS5 on 7 April. On PS5 Pro you get two modes: Visual (4K/30 fps) and Performance (60 fps, resolution not specified); both use PSSR upscaling.

DualSense gets proper love: adaptive triggers convey recoil for personal weapons and ship cannons; the light bar changes color with your health/ship status; the speaker plays audio logs and comms. Touchpad shortcuts, left press: camera, right press: map, hold right...

I've already assumed that my touch pad was broken (or the driver was buggy) because after a tap-and-drag action, the mouse button was not released when releasing the finger from the touch pad.

It was "sticky", e.g. after marking multiple lines of text.

Just found out that this was introduced a while ago in Sway (to follow libinput recommendations):

Setting "drag_lock disabled" in the touch pad's config fixes this. 😌

Add support for LIBINPUT_CONFIG_DRAG_LOCK_ENABLED_STICKY · swaywm/sway@bbadf9b

Use it as the default, as recommended by the libinput release notes: https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/wayland-devel/2024-November/043860.html

Naya Connect modular mechanical keyboard offers trackball, touchpad, rotary encoder, and spacial controller options (Crowdfunding)

Dutch hardware startup Naya Create has launched the Naya Connect, a modular mechanical keyboard featuring magnetic connectors for additional keypads, and a dock to add a trackball, a multitouch touchpad, a rotary encoder, or a spatial controller. It is designed for 3D artists, video editors, audio professionals, and CAD engineers, as well as finance and business users. The core system, or the brain of the product, is the Naya Type, an 85-key mechanical keyboard in a 75% form factor with a 14.9 mm CNC aluminum unibody. It uses Kailh Choc V2 low-profile mechanical switches mounted on hot-swappable sockets and paired with dished polycarbonate shine-through keycaps with full RGB support. The keyboard supports QWERTY, QWERTZ, Colemak, Dvorak, and fully custom layouts via software remapping, while offering a 1,000 Hz polling rate in wired mode. A configurable spacebar allows users to switch between a standard single bar or a three-key split layout

Started using a touchpad with the split keyboard on suggestion - chose a Peripad 706 and it seems fine.

However, Gnome touchpad/mouse speed and acceleration controls are very far from enough. I've used the measure-touchpad-size trick to get movement speed somewhat to a usable range, but acceleration still needs to go way above the max possible in the settings.

Has someone already solved this?
