Lenovo unveils laptops with touchpads that can be used as graphics tablet with stylus support

Acer isn’t the only company that introduced a new laptop at CES that has a touchpad so large that the company figured you might want to use it as a graphics tablet. Like the new Acer Swift 16, the Lenovo Yoga Pro 7i Aura Edition 15 inch and Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i Aura Edition 16 inch laptops hav a large haptic touchpad with support for pressure-sensitive pen input, allowing you to write or draw on […]

Acer Swift 16 AI has a haptic touchpad so big you can use a stylus to draw on it

The Acer Swift 16 AI (SF16-71T) is a laptop with up to a 2880 x 1800 pixel OLED, 120 Hz touchscreen display and support for up to an Intel Core Ultra X9 388H Panther Lake processor with Intel Arc B390 12-core graphics.

But what really makes this laptop unusual is the touchpad. Acer says the new Swift 16 AI has the largest haptic touchpad of any laptop. In fact, it’s so big that the company […]

#macOS: MiddleDrag rüstet Drei-Finger-Geste via #Trackpad nach - ein Segen für #CAD-Tools 🖱️ ✋ https://tchgdns.de/?p=160461

My mom has an older lenovo yoga 7 that has a couple of keys that are toast. I’ve already ordered a replacement keyboard but I won’t see her again for several months.

Does anyone have suggestions for ten key-less keyboards with a trackpad? Or really any keyboard with a trackpad that’s integrated?

Boosts welcome. I have no first hand exp with any not-on-my-laptop touch pad.

Ca a few of you out there send me a screen shot of the default Apple #macOS #Trackpad setting please?
I've somehow messed with mine to the extent that occasionally i f I click on things it thinks it's a right click, so showing me options etc instead of just selecting the app / information. I've changed so many of the options for the Trackpad I can't work out what the defaults are :)

HyperSpace Trackpad Pro is an external Precision touchpad with haptic feedback and pressure sensitivity (Crowdfunding)

When I was looking for a high-quality external touchpad to use with my Windows computer this summer, there was basically only one option. And for the most part I’ve been pretty happy with the Ploopy TrackPad that I’ve been using for the last few months.

But there are some features that it lacks, like Bluetooth support, haptic feedback, or pressure sensitivity. Now PC maker HYPER has introduced […]

Windows Precision Touchpad Driver Implementation for Apple MacBook / Magic Trackpad

More #laptop surgery tonight - lower buttons below #trackpad on #Thinkpad #P50 were goosed (left button stuck on, causing all sorts of strangeness, which even upset trackpoint and top buttons) - replaced with another set

A bear of a job as keyboard has to come out, as well as part of bezel around it (I was able to carry out the repair without removing whole thing), dozens of small screws, multiple small connectors must be disconnected and then there is just 4mm of ribbon cable to get into exactly the right spot (again had to use big LED desklamp and wear +1,00 spectacles to see as my contacts correct me for long distant vision, with age I have presbyopia )

At least the surgery was successful, as I'm typing this toot on the laptop with a working trackpad *and* trackpoint..

#repair

@AutisticInnovator In my experience #Microsoft routnely bricks and destroys handware.

• May it be the #TrackPad-#Touchscreen of #ZenBook|s of #ThinkPad #batteries (as @fuchsiii had hapoened the latter to her)…

Multitouch

Multitouch lets you execute a custom action when you perform a specific trackpad or magic mouse gesture. Easily execute keyboard shortcuts, control your browser's tabs, perform a middle mouse click, and more.

- A powerful gesture engine
- First class window management included
- Keys & Mouse Buttons, too

💡 Some people chase profits. Others build magic.

I love projects like this one:
👉 https://lnkd.in/dx2rU3un

It turns your MacBook trackpad into a digital scale.
No special hardware. No ads. No paywall. Just… curiosity turned into code.

It hijacks the Force Touch sensors, calibrates raw pressure data, and gives you surprisingly accurate weight readings—all with your finger and a clever hack.

This is what I wish more tech looked like:
🧠 smart
🧰 simple
💸 not for sale

While others gatekeep innovation behind SDKs and subscriptions, this project goes:
here’s how it works, enjoy.
Open Source with purpose, not polish for profit.

It’s niche, odd, and brilliant.
And that’s exactly why it matters.

To everyone trying to monetise every byte:
You’re missing the joy. You’re missing the point.

To TrackWeight:
You nailed it.
Hacky, educational, experimental.
No evil. No upsell. Just exploration.
Thumbs up.

So ganz allmählich gehen mir die Trackpad-Gesten gehörig auf den Senkel! Die Erkennung der Gesten ist bei weitem zu empfindlich eingestellt und ich habe noch keine Möglichkeit in den Einstellungen gefunden, daran etwas zu ändern. Ständig löse ich unfreiwillig Gesten mit dem Trackpad des Macbook Air aus oder am Mac Mini mit der „Magic“ Mouse … *grummel* 😡

I've mentioned before that the #Apple Magic #Trackpad 2's one of the best purchases I've ever made, and how perfect it is OOTB on #Linux - gestures and all. The only downside to it is that it's pretty pricey, esp the Black version that I got (tho I still think it's worth every penny).

Since then, I've been meaning to find any other cheaper alternatives to it cos I genuinely think switching from a (wireless) mouse to a trackpad has done wonders to just how nice it is to use and work on my desktop. Surprisingly and disappointingly, none of the known brands seems to bother to be in this market space besides Apple, not even #Logitech (who typically tends to be everywhere).

Right when I thought I was SOL, I discovered a bunch of Chinese #touchpad s - a lot of which are Magic Trackpad clones.. including this one I settled on, the #JOOMA KB96. It not only looks similar to the Apple MT2, it has pretty much the exact same dimensions - surprisingly its glass surface also feels exactly the same as Apple's trackpads.

It tracks just as well too, and all my gestures (2, 3, 4-finger, etc.) work perfectly. Its connectivity options is better than the Apple MT2 even - supporting Wired USB-C, Bluetooth, and even a Wireless USB-A dongle (with USB-C adapter). The only downside to it is that unlike the Apple MT2 which supports clicks (in addition to taps) anywhere on the surface of the trackpad with really nice haptic feedback, this trackpad doesn't support clicks at all - only taps. This shouldn't matter for most people who's used to or even prefers taps though - double tap dragging and triple tap highlighting should be your bestie.

Unlike Apple's Magic Trackpad, it doesn't work OOTB on Linux - but fixing that is super, duper easy thanks to others who's discovered how to before. I've linked my own writing on how to do it on my Linux Wiki below. All in all, for just ~145 MYR (~34 USD) instead of Apple MT2's price tag of 599 MYR (~141 USD), this is quite a banger peripheral to pair with the budget alternative to Apple's Magic Keyboard I've posted about before.

@lebout2canap @silvermoon82 If a #TrackPoint instead would be acceptable (cuz a #TrackPad may eat up a lot of estate compared to it), consider i.e. #DIY'ing with a #Sprintek #FlexPoint:

https://www.sprintek.com/en/products/pointing_stick/SK8707-01.aspx

@lebout2canap @silvermoon82 I only know of some #Perixx #trackpad|s that use #USB, and by comparison to #Apple they are atrocious.

• My next best option would be a #Trackpoint but I guess that isn's an option either...

If you are using the track pad on your laptop as if it were a stationary mouse, do yourself a favour and web search how to use it correctly. It will be life changing, in a time and aggravation saving sort of way. #web #TrackPad #mouse #Tech
