Description
Is your feature request related to a problem?
joystick behavior is unpredictable: moving behavior, positioning, pointer acceleration. the solution might require different approach.
Describe the solution you'd like
https://github.com/lokxii/Mac-trackpad-mapper (this repo is for low level raw trackpad mapping–trackpads jump to exact location in screen)
https://github.com/ussserrr/trackpad-joystick (this repo is for joystick implementation–move the trackpad to relative center after finger release)
Anything else?
i wonder how this will turn out...
