Apple Magic mouse gesture support #579

Closed ayushhroyy closed 2 years ago

ayushhroyy commented 2 years ago

Magic mouse touch gestures are similar to magic trackpad yet they aren't working as magic mouse doesn't report itself as trackpad, could there be workaround?

The Magic Mouse surface is a touchpad and it'd be possible to handle it as such.

However, the Linux kernel driver for the Magic Mouse exposes the device as a "normal" mouse. This makes sense, because if the device was handled as a touchpad, touching it with one finger would move the mouse pointer and many other weird think would happen.

This happens at the kernel level, so closing this issue since there is nothing Touchégg could do here.
