Trackpad++: Alternate Trackpad Driver for BootCamp

This feature is implemented in Trackpad++, but it's disabled by default. In order to enable, please check the self-descriptive checkbox in '2-Finger Gestures' pane of the Trackpad++ Control Module. Also, by default you can go back/forward with 4 fingers, or you can use this gesture for Windows 10 desktops switching. Thank you for the feedback!

 

@Riff_Al: The correct address is http://trackpad.forbootcamp.org (works for me right know, please check).
The Trackpad++ driver is only for Macbook built-in trackpads, i.e. for Macbook / Pro / Air running Windows via Boot Camp.
For the wireless Magic Trackpad I suggest to try the following solution: https://forums.macrumors.com/thread...r-gestures-more-now-in-windows.1850762/page-7

 

@treoguy: I don't have this model, but people who provide the email feedback state the Trackpad++ works smoothly with 12" Macbook and Windows 10. All 2/3/4-finger gestures which Trackpad++ brings to Boot Camp are available for this model as well.

 

@quickgenz: Thank you for interest! Some time ago I was directly and clearly warned by administration that the rules of MacRumors do not allow to talk about this... By responding, the thread can get blocked. So, sorry but I can only respond via email...

@alinato: Thank you for reporting. Nobody else reported this, something happened to your installation only. I recommend to try to delete the folder C:\Program Files\TrackpadPlusPlus and then reinstall the Trackpad++.

 

@mathieut: Thank you for reporting! Very-very strange, as so far nobody else had ever reported the problem with tap-to-click, and neither with locking the trackpad. I think that people are overall satisfied, because such basic things being broken would already become the main topic of this discussion thread. As for the new models, the email feedback from the users has also been quite good during the March, April and now May. Based on almost three months of feedback we are sure that the are no noticeable bugs in the recent version for Late-2016 models. With the default configuration of the Trackpad++ Control Module: tap-to-click enabled, 3-finger drag enabled, do you still experience such issues? As for the 2-finger drag: it's not recommended, as it's the feature of Apple's Boot Camp driver, which not allowing the dragging in the upper part of trackpad. Please consider Trackpad++ 3-finger drag instead.

@whiteonline: Please let me explain: Trackpad++ is the real 64-bit kernel-mode driver, focused on a multi-touch functionality which is totally missing in Apple's Boot Camp drivers. Apple's trackpad driver works only as mouse emulator (trackpad device appears in Windows as simple two-button mouse with scroll). Trackpad++ driver integrates itself into existing Boot Camp HID stack, capturing and interpreting the 3/4/5-finger input which is ignored by Apple's driver. The Trackpad++ driver operates on a different level than Boot Camp driver, so it does not cause any conflicts with the Boot Camp driver or its settings. By the way, in case of the device drivers, any conflict typically results in Blue Screen of Death, so we are sure there are no conflicts

 

@All: Has somebody received a new Mid-2017 Macbook Pro, either 13" or 15"? If you have the Boot Camp drivers package for the new model, can you please let me know.
All Late-2016 models are supported, but for Mid-2017 the status is not clear yet. As a rule some adjustments are needed to made to make the driver working, even if the trackpad hardware stays the same. That's why talking a look on the Apple Boot Camp drivers folder for Mid-2017 generation might be needed. Thank you!

 

@tungsonmtp: Please check the officially supported models list at http://trackpad.forbootcamp.org/#requirements
As for the Power Plan Assistant, it's totally clean of course. Instead of just my words, I recommend to check the installer with VirusTotal.com, you will personally see that 60 antiviruses of the world confirm that it's totally clean
