dell-xps-touchpad-haptics

This package installs the Dell XPS Synaptics haptic touchpad daemon, its systemd service, and a small CLI for switching between Omarchy's preset haptic levels.

What it installs:

  • /usr/bin/dell-xps-touchpad-haptics
  • /usr/bin/dell-xps-touchpad-haptics-daemon
  • /usr/lib/systemd/system/dell-xps-touchpad-haptics.service
  • /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/99-dell-xps-touchpad-haptics.rules

What the pacman install hook does:

  • picks a desktop user and writes /etc/dell-xps-touchpad-haptics.env
  • creates ~/.config/omarchy/dell-haptic.conf if needed
  • enables the service and restarts it when a running systemd manager is available

Usage:

dell-xps-touchpad-haptics get
dell-xps-touchpad-haptics set low
dell-xps-touchpad-haptics set mid
dell-xps-touchpad-haptics set high

Preset levels:

  • low = 10
  • mid = 50
  • high = 100

Debugging:

  • level changes are logged by the service when it notices the config change and attempts HID gain readback
  • set DELL_XPS_TOUCHPAD_HAPTICS_DEBUG=1 in /etc/dell-xps-touchpad-haptics.env to log each press and release report to journalctl -u dell-xps-touchpad-haptics.service
