Currently if I apply edge spin to a trackpad input, the output is dependent on the distance from the threshold. This is an issue when the edge spin radius is very small so the distance between max value and min value is very small. Getting a consistent speed immediately with your thumb is thus very hard.
I recommend setting the edge spin value to be fixed or adding a button to toggle it between gradient and fixed.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Set edge spin to a trackpad input
  2. Set the edge spin radius to be very small
  3. Attempt to get a consistent spin speed when pressing on the edge

Result

The spin speed is very inconsistent

Expected

The spin speed should be a fixed value
