Touchpad feels sloppy and slow to change direction

[Daniel van Vugt]

Asus ZenBook 13 UX331UAL touchpad feels sloppy and slow to change direction.

For comparison I then installed the old synaptics Xorg driver and disabled hysteresis using 'synclient'. It felt much better. So it seems libinput's hysteresis radius is too big.
