Slide, tap, scroll, zoom.

The touchpad sends real macOS mouse and scroll events, so it works everywhere—browsers, editors, Finder, design tools—without any per-app setup.

  • Two fingers right-click and scroll long pages
  • Pinch to zoom natively or as Command-Plus / Command-Minus

One surface, or four corners.

Run the pad as a single trackpad for cursor control, or split it into quadrants and bind a separate touch and click action to each region.

"Switching to my PS5 DualSense with ControllerKeys was an easy call, Bluetooth means I can move around the room freely, and the touchpad handles cursor control perfectly."

Quick answers

Before you connect.

Does this need a cable?

No. The touchpad drives the cursor, scroll, and pinch over Bluetooth. USB adds latency headroom and keeps the controller charged, but is optional.

Does the DualShock 4 pad work too?

Yes. The PS4 DualShock 4 touchpad has full cursor, scroll, right-click, and pinch support, same as the DualSense.

What about the Steam Controller?

Both square Steam Controller pads work over raw HID—no Steam required. See the Steam Controller setup guide.

Can I still use the buttons?

Yes. The touchpad is one input among many—every button, stick, and trigger stays fully mappable alongside it.
