My new laptops touchpad from Asus isn't as responsive as Id like it to be. Any help?

I just bought a new laptop from Asus and I'm wondering if someone can help me with the mouse. Whenever I move it, it just seems slow and it glides after I stop moving it. It doesn't lag but I have a problem with it because I can't do things fast because I can't click on the tabs I need to click as fast.(I use photoshop a lot) I've went into the mouse settings and changed the speed and everything but it doesn't fix the problem. Theres like a couple millisecond delay when I try to move the mouse and then the mouse moves a little after I stop trying to move it. It glides kind of when I stop it making it difficult to do anything fast. Any help is appreciated.

What OS? Usually there is a utility installed, (like a synaptics tool if the touchpad is from synaptics). With it you can change how the touchpad behaves. Normally you'll find that in the control panel either as a separate applet, or it is under the "Mouse" section.

There is nothing wrong with the touchpad, nor anything to replace. That is how it is supposed to work. Touchpads these days have features included in their utility software and drivers that can be set to make them work similarly to multitouch screens on tablets, and those features can be set via the control panel as I suggested. But there are many features you can set and unset. You can make work as touchpads used to, or also to scroll automatically, slow down, speed up, act in a certain way when using 2 or 3 fingers etc, but there are many such settings and you have to play around with them to see what they do and how they work.
