Yeah, i'm pretty familiar with the variability of touchpads, but I didn't really think about the fact that it's algorithmically as well as physically different. I'm just happy we're past the days of my first laptop, where the touchpad was heat sensitive and thus it spazzed out every summer unless I only used it in the basement. ;)

That said, I wasn't even thinking about this in terms of moving this from one device to another; I was thinking they could be useful in case the next time I reboot my laptop I find something (oh, systemd) has changed them back to whatever the default, or just a curiousity given how different the "best settings" I found for other people were when I was searching for the problem.
