Increasing trackpad speed on a Mac more than the maximum allowed
You can increase trackspeed in System Preferences, but that only goes up so far.
To see the current speed, you run
defaults read -g com.apple.trackpad.scaling
Initially, this outputted in 0.6875
.
To change it, you need to run
defaults write -g com.apple.trackpad.scaling <number>
Then
sudo reboot
Now your trackpad will be faster! I set mine to 4
.
