Inklet’s preferences allow you to configure tablet controls on a generic and per-app basis. It central controls are in the Drawing tab, where you set its trigger for drawing, and pressure sensitivity. You will almost certainly need to tweak those as you become accustomed to using it. If you find it hard to draw, or there is insufficient pressure sensitivity, then adjust those settings rather than giving up. Inklet uses the four edges of the tablet as special controls, or ‘virtual sliders’. These can be customised on a generic and per-app basis in the Virtual Sliders tab. All three default sliders are excellent: Undo allows you to quickly step back through the undo chain, Zoom changes the magnification when supported by the app, and Brush Size provides a very quick way of adjusting your brush. I set these up to provide basic support for Mischief (App Store), and had a quick test to see how well Inklet works with an app which does not yet have its own support for Force Touch pressure control. Particularly when tuned for use with a suitable stylus, Inklet is hugely beneficial. In the sketch below, the marks on the left, of uniform thickness, were made using the trackpad alone, and those on the right were made using a stylus with Inklet, showing the pressure control in action. If you draw and have a Magic Trackpad 2, it is an obvious choice.įine tuning and learning with BetterTouchTool Inklet works with a wide range of apps, including Adobe Photoshop and Pixelmator, and can be configured to work with many others. The final app which I have found to provide special support for Magic Trackpad 2 features is Andreas Hegenberg’s free BetterTouchTool. This runs as an app from your menubar, and requires you to enable its controls in the Security & Privacy pane. It provides two levels of configuration for your trackpad: a basic group of settings including sensitivity, and more advanced controls over pressures needed to generate normal clicks and Force Clicks.
