Your system information

  • Steam client version: 1689034492

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

After enabling trackpad edge spin on right trackpad, using left side of the trackpad results in faster spin then right side. It is worth noting that if you slowly move finger to the left, at first edge spin would function as intended, but then spin speed would increase near the edge of the trackpad.

This behavior is different from expected "Edge spin in every direction should equal".

This bug has been reported on Steam forums almost a year ago (https://steamcommunity.com/app/1675200/discussions/1/3362523432289933617/), but the issue has not been resolved or acknowledged.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Set right trackpad as mouse.
  2. Set sensitivity to 310%
  3. Set edge spin to 400
  4. Set edge spin radius to default 25000
  5. Slowly move finger from center to the edges of the trackpad.
