Gestures are awful... They're nonstandard between boxes, and often flaky as all hell. One of the first things I disable on a new OS install.
Why wouldn't you use a mouse, and get better precision, a standard form-factor, and universally solid drivers? Besides, you can take your mouse and plug it into any machine you need to work on.
- IshKebab 8y agoGestures on Macs are not flaky. That's kind of the whole point of this discussion.
- mattl 8y agoA mouse is fine in an environment where you also have an external monitor and maybe an external keyboard too.
- lucideer 8y ago> Why wouldn't you use a mouse, and get better precision, a standard form-factor, and universally solid drivers? Most non-Mac-users do. Mac users don't, because they have a touchpad with better precision, a standard form factor and solid drivers. Hence this post. Why should I need to carry a peripheral everywhere for functionality my laptop purportedly has integrated? One could counter-argue that touchpad is inherently worse than a mouse, but I think you'll find Apple have roundly disproven that. There's a reason the Magic Trackpad exists (though I've never owned one, demand seems to be there).
