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
