Noticeable delay after system click before gesture is recognized

There is a delay(0.5-1 second) after performing a system click before a custom 3, 4, or 5 finger tap is recognized.

This means when performing a regular system tap or click on the trackpad(not BTT click) I have to wait before I can perform a custom tap gesture. This does not affect swipes or other gestures as far as I can tell.

Hopefully this is a bug and not a system limitation because it makes the taps unusable in my opinion.

Thank you!


Device information:

  • Type of Mac: MacBook Pro 14inch
  • Magic Trackpad and MacBook Trackpad affected
  • macOS version: 26.0.1 (25A362)
  • BetterTouchTool version: 5;2724

this is to prevent various conflicts with system clicks. For most types of taps the minimum time after a standard system click is 0.5 seconds.

I can add an option to modify this, but it can lead to weird behavior.

Yes please, that would be great!
