Things to know about MacBook

Published

Older MacBooks (MacBooks with a physical button on them, I think until 2008) do not support multi-touch when upgrading to an operating system that supports it. For scrolling and secondary clicking, they can distinguish two opposing fingers and identify more than 2 fingers. Is there any kind of hardware limitation, or is it limited for some other reason?

Hardware limitations. Mountain Lion-backed models are partially equipped with multi-touch trackpads; ML does not require you to use a 4-finger swipe.

I’m not used to any of my 10.8 Magic trackpads yet, but it should be great. The old-fashioned trackpad can detect up to 15 finger points on its surface (as someone proved when running Linux on a laptop, I can’t remember where I saw it). However, it is difficult to support laptop features because the software detects the laptop model and does not offer multi-touch gesture options.

However, there must be some way to tweak it or use some third-party software – try swiping four fingers on an old

MacBook trackpad – the pointer does not move, so the software finds it and does not know what to do with it.

As I said, I’ve read a very interesting article about this somewhere, but I can’t remember where my life is.

I do not have to look for a hack to do this work. This is mainly just curiosity. I will edit my question so it is not vague. But

this is part of what I wonder; I assumed it could have multiple fingerprints (I do not know if it’s 0, 1, 2,> 2) but the trackpad (hardware) is not accurate enough for multi-touch tasks, or they are limited in these models for reasons of user experience (i.e., very small in the surface area And/or very weird with the click button there).

Have you tried Better Touch Tool?

Not the old MacBook I have, but it’s a great piece of software.
