Forcing me to use a fingernail is not the way to go either, as most of the time I am clicking on a large target and just touching with a finger is more appropriate, and comfortable. GrantX61 wrote:The amount of pressure required for a 'flat finger' is way to high to be acceptable. You do have to "make an impression." It was and still is a context shift for me.Īs for Googling for my name, it is amazing how many hits I get for SFWrtr, including forum posts, my SF site (currently offline), and my X61 tablet page (link below). Until that happened, all I could perceive was that I was touching a LCD (which all these years of laptops said I should not do) and that I needed to touch lightly or damage it. Regarding "being educated," it was simply a matter of learning that I needed to press such that the nail also made contact, however lightly. If you need that type of touch, the X61 tablet may not be for you. Both my pinky and 4th finger nails often touch, but getting the rest to do that is hard. Doing that on the physical keyboard as I type now (I'm not using the pen to answer you), I realize how unnatural that is. Yeah, can't really type on the screen if you have to assure that your nails make contact.

Hopefully they will find your post via google (as I did) I know I am unique in requiring this, but I still think for the average user -they should have the option of fingernail or finger - don't you agree? I wonder how many people have gone through what you have with the initial reaction of 'this doesn't seem to be working very well ', and I wonder if they investigated things as far as you have. This is why we have to look for another solution. I think you are saying that people need to be 'educated' in doing things in a better way and I can't deny that this is a far more accurate way to go.įor us though, part of our application requires the use of an on-screen keyboard, and having finger-nail only touch breaks this functionality. I can see where you are coming from re finger-nail touching.
#Multitouch x61 software
I still believe / hope that it is software as we do have a number of touch screens that respond to *very* light touch - even a relatively cheap Magic Touch Screen from Keytec that we use is very responsive even to the lightest of pressure (this is still using resistive / pressure based sensing the same as the 圆1) Screen visibility is outstanding outdoors. As I said, I like the MT/MV now that I understand it and wouldn't want to go without it. (Btw, using the nail leaves less finger grease on the screen.) Needless to say, I keep the screen dust-free to eliminate scratching. I've actually gotten used to using my fingernail when tapping or dragging, and it is very convenient in many situations. Perhaps the iPhone and the next generation of touch systems will be able to sense light tough, but for now, no joy if you want to just have the soft touch. If I brace the phone, I can use my finger pad, but that requires a huge amount of relative pressure.Īgain, my accessment is that this is just how the technology works. I actually use my nail when dialing numbers and didn't realize it. I've been "enlightened." Not only do the Gottabemobile Ink shows demonstrate that the fingernail is use, I was forced to pay attention to how I use my touch-screen mobile phone. Still, that is not the way this technology works.

GrantX61, I agree that fat finger would be more comfortable. SFWrtr - did you get any futher with this?
