I actually really like the TouchBar except for the dramatic input lag. The input lag is so damn high that I never ever use it. If you could swipe left/right on it without holding down first, as on an iPhone, and if touch events generally had the same responsiveness as on an iPhone, I think everyone would have loved it much more. RIP TouchBar.


I used BetterTouchTool to add a second volume slider with no delay and no on-screen UI, for changing the volume while I watch something :)

I highly recommend using BetterTouchTool to get the most out of it if you still have a device with the touch bar.


I love BetterTouchTool, and it does help, but the input lag is still too high. And as far as I know, even with BTT, there’s no way to get a proper swipe interface that removes the “touch and hold” delay.
