> Bill believes that the biggest opportunity to improve Linux touchpads is to adapt their acceleration curve to better match the profile of a macOS touchpad. How do you feel about the acceleration and precision that your Linux touchpad offers?
Is this work only going to be for touchpads? I personally hate the X11 curves with mice and vastly prefer Apple’s. It seems to be hard coded last I checked and not easily modifiable (there are two parameters now but it’s still a very different curve). If trackpad curves also benefited mice (particularly those of us who use Apple’s Magic Mouse on Linux), that’d be amazing!
Thank you for your efforts to improve these ergonomics — it’s thankless and hard work but benefits many.
- p12tic 5y agoFor now we only focus on touchpads. I think that if we're successful in delivering touchpad improvements then we will gain credibility and trust that could be useful when working on other input devices.
- jez 5y agoJust want to echo the above sentiment—mouse-based acceleration curves are in need of just as much love as touch pads, and I'd love to see both!
