Synaptics Presents: Things You Can Do with a Gesture

[AndrewKH85]

too bad the software is garbage. i know robots who wont even put up with the lame touchpad enhancements... how can they screw up something as simple as scrolling???

[zeromanthebest]

i just love pinch and momentum (especially in scrolling) on my HP laptop =)))

[idiotrun1997]

My labtop has a multi Gresture Touchpad but it doesn't work...

[vtdpro]

I just love the movie.I have it in my dell.this pad. but it is difficult to find where to make it start working....

[stogi5959]

[ptuku]

[blastofo]

by accident i found out that i can fast forward and rewind this youtube video by swiping two fingers left or right lol

[AndyBearman]

What's with the uber-cheesy video?

[schmidtbag]

linux has better features built in, like 2 finger scrolling, double finger tap as middle click, triple finger tap as right-cick, and being able to do the chiral motion in any portion of the trackpad you want. the only thing it doesn't come with is the pinch feature, which is installable with some work

[decoderworld]

Official driver doesn't support this feature on my laptop. But I've found modified driver and it support all this. You can find it something like this: Synaptics driver by Discrucio Anima

[ilovehalo45]

mine has this but it sucks...

[agnusongs]

Failed attempt to copy macbook's multi-gesture trackpad, I bet most people will be dizzy if they do more than 2 circles lol

hahahahaha

[tylerbrainerd]

actually, synaptics had this before macs...

[VuRp0]

@tylerbrainerd Actually, Mac touchpads are Synaptics touchpads. (source: Wikipedia's page on Synaptics)

[xtreme404]

short form is "P.M.S"

[MAX96MENDES]

This is crap. All modern computers have this already installed.

[Niqueish]

work on acer extensa 5620z? my dont work

[wim1236]

i have an acer aspire 5920G and so i have an synaptics touchpad but i have'nt got the drivers for the gesture because i installed other drivers...

where can i still get the drivers for the gesture touchpad?

[TonnelierTrois]

Thank you for this. I just bought an Acer Aspire One. It kept doing the ChiralMotion thing and scrolling when I didn't want to and vice versa. Nowhere in the user guide or on the Acer or Synaptics websites did they explain how to use it. You just did in a few seconds.

[oliverashtube]

There was a press release with regard to this only a few days ago, officially announcing it. But when is the update gonna be up for download?!

[aq1sw2de3fr]

I find it really odd that I can't find it on their website to download for Windows because their technology came with Linux OS that was released in April earlier this year. I have circular scrolling as well as 2 finger scrolling built in. I can't seem to find the 'pinch' one for zooming.

[iSwaggrite]

u got the driver frm the website???????????? im on there constantly and i dnt have it

[aq1sw2de3fr]

No, some versions of Linux have it installed already. For Windows users, I heard that it depends on the company that manufactures your laptop. They decide which Synaptic driver your touchpad works with. I tried downloading the Envy 133's touchpad driver (which has pinch, circular scrolling, and others) on my laptop but it didn't work. So I think it is some kind of hardware lock.

[iSwaggrite]

wats the download link....messege it to me i kant find it

[turtlesflyunderme]

man, that guy was hot in the video.

[xion101]

Lame video, great technology. Can't wait.

[lynnvm]

I'll post this on my tshwi blog.

[vegaquarker]

when is it gonna be???? i really want it!!! please release it!!! :)

I'm in a compaq n610c whit this famous sistem.. :)

By the way... I'm running mac os X tiger... XD

[mxjf]

lol i have a compaq evo n600c

[BetoWater]

Everybody want to be Apple. :)

[andy2na]

you retard, synaptics makes the touchpads for macbooks.

ALL synaptics trackpads are capable of doing what macbook trackpads can do, apple just holds the "rights" to two-finger scrolling and multitouch. This update basically brings that to all pc users, just in a different way.

[dreamcastdc]

LOL! Synaptics makes the trackpad for Apple laptop, there also rumors that Synaptics are the one who provide the capacitive touch screens for the iphone,

[iSwaggrite]

iphone and g1
