![]() The beauty of the touchpad is that it doesn’t need a surface so you can use it on your lap etc… & it’s Bluetooth so can be moved anywhere. Still work in progress but loving it so far. I also have stuff like copy, paste, open spotlight etc… on the force click layer. I currently have this mapped for Cubase on the single click layer. I guess that must be Steinberg that implemented that as it’s not expected behaviour. This works really well for synth knobs for course control, & then is discovered that 2 finger touch drag acts as fine control for most parameters, it works better for controls with a large range rather than a 2-3 options. I have the touchpad set to touch instead of clicks, and there’s also an option to drag items/select text etc by using 3 fingers. You can loads of other things too such as make your own swipe gestures etc… ![]() However, some keys work differently on the Mac. (plentycom.jp/en/steermouse), the mouse's programmable buttons work fine with my. Any USB or Bluetooth keyboard (including wireless keyboards that require a USB dongle) will work with the Macjust plug it in and start typing. Hopefully better touch tool will see the bugs fixed with taps which I prefer to clicks, but currently they’re unreliable, that would open up another 8 zones. My favorite Mac mouse is the Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000. As for the long standing lack of mousewheel vertical zoom in Cubase you can assign SHIFT + G/H and it’s a bit clunky compared to steermouse & mousewheel, but it does at least work. In terms of the scroll I do wish it could be made more sensitive, but it does at least feel consistent across all apps. With bettertouchtool, I’m finding it a bit unreliable assigning taps, but clicks & force clicks work fine which allows 8 x click & 8 x force click zones around the edge which can be assigned to shortcuts. There are lots of MACOS gestures for the OS which are really good & makes using the machine so intuitive & quick once you know them. There is a utility for it called bettertouchtool, which is the equivalent of steer mouse for touchpads which allows per application assignments etc… last week I got a Magic Trackpad for the desktop & it takes some getting used to but it’s a much better experience than the mouse for me. However I got a 2017 MacBook a few months ago & started to really appreciate the trackpad. I went through the mouse frustration when moving win → Mac, however I persevered with steermouse & had to fine tune wheel sensitivity per app which was good once I got things how I liked.
