I use the Apple Magic Trackpad 2. A great piece of hardware, especially when paired with software like
Better Touch Tool which allows complete customisation of its gestures.
With this I use a variety of different swipes (two finger, three finger, four finger), taps, "force clicks" (pressing down especially hard) and other gestures to control the OS and various apps.
For example:
- Two finger swipe left/right = back/forward in browser and other apps
- Three finger swipe up = Mission Control (reveal all windows on all monitors)
- Three finger swipe left/right = go left/right between Spaces (desktops) and full screen apps
- Four finger swipe up/down = Page Up/Page Down
- Force click bottom right = middle mouse button (for the rare occasions when I need it)
- Three finger double tap in Firefox/Chrome = Control-Tab = go to next tab
- Three finger force click in Firefox/Chrome = Shift + Middle Mouse Button = Open link in new tab
Better Touch Tool also supports more complex gestures, for example these I've configured for Resolve only:
TipTap Left/Right means I put two fingers on the pad, then tap a third finger to the left or right of them. TipSwipe Left Finger Up/Down means I put two fingers on the pad, then swipe a third finger up or down to the left of them.
Gestures like these comes in handy especially when I'm using the Speed Editor with my other hand, allowing me to jump to the start or end of a timeline or back/forward between clips without having to take my left hand off the Speed Editor or the right hand off the trackpad.
Better Touch Tool supports gestures on the Magic Mouse too, for those who use that. Not nearly as many as with the trackpad, but it still allows a lot more customisation than the OS does.
