hid-magicmouse-virtual_touchpad

This is a fun little project of mine that converts Apple Magic Mouse's one-finger touch events to two-fingered touchpad-driven events.

This way, the userspace(e.g. libinput or Synaptics) can recognize those events as touchpad events and apply smooth scrolling.

See this demo.

How to install

Do a make, and replace /lib/modules's hid-magicmouse.ko to this one.

Or, simply do a rmmod hid_magicmouse; insmod hid-magicmouse.ko.

Warning

This is a little rough around the edges.

• You need to have two fingers on the surface at all times if you don't want it to randomly start scrolling.

• Upon switching from scrolling to just resting your fingers on the surface, you may find "finger-rejection" is less than ideal.

• A single tap on the surface will register as a right click. This needs a rejection implementation.

Enjoy!
