- jclardy 7y agoI’m using it right now - it feels quite natural, and you can turn off the “snapping” effect if you want - the control will still highlight underneath, but you also still see the cursor. With the effect on the cursor “snaps” to button targets, and when it does the effect has a pulling effect, so if you apply a little motion it will move out of the control, but you see the effect visually. It serves the purpose of knowing that you can click on something, plus also makes clicking things faster because of the snapping to targets. It’s kind of like auto-aim but for your trackpad.
- aikinai 7y agoI tried the beta and thought it was neat for the first 30 seconds and super annoying for the next ten minutes. I haven’t tried to do anything serious with it yet. It definitely makes it feel choppy when trying to move around the screen and do things quickly. It does store the underlying position and accelerates to catch up when you pull out of a touch target, but it still chops up the movement visually.
