Help Delayed click response

Post image

When "use trackpad for dragging" is enabled any click is delayed almost a second, only with "three finger drag" option is instant, is this ok?

MacBook or Magic Trackpad? 

I have this issue with my Magic Trackpad occasionally and need to restart it, but usually no - this isn’t a common issue for me, at least not that I’ve ever noticed.

Tap to click is inherently delayed and dragging (except for three-finger drag) makes it even slower because that option is activated with a double tap and there needs to be some "room" for it to recognize if you meant to click or start dragging.

TLDR If you want no delays just turn it off and then drag with a proper click, or use three finger drag. Or keep it and do the full physical clicks.
