I totally agree. Unfortunately it's a problem we have inherited from Gnome 3.x. So many configuration options are hidden.

If you can't find what you need in gnome-control-center then open a terminal and run "synclient" which will show you many settings for touchpads at least. Also, for any input device type you can run:
    xinput list-props N
where N is a number shown by running "xinput" by itself. You can also use xinput to customize settings.

If you want to make such a command set on log in, you can add it as a startup program in "gnome-session-properties".
