Change syndaemon settings to: syndaemon -i 1.0 -KRd
Unfortunately this cannot be set on startup as of 16.04: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-settings-daemon/+bug/1351772
Use after logon to activate: pkill syndaemon; syndaemon -i 1.0 -KRd

add below entry to: /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/51-synaptics-quirks.conf

# Disable generic Synaptics device, as we're using
# "DLL0704:01 06CB:76AE Touchpad"
# Having multiple touchpad devices running confuses syndaemon
Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad"
        MatchProduct "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad"
        MatchIsTouchpad "on"
