Omny Pad / Gesture guide
Every gesture, shown in motion.
Watch the hand, follow the motion path, and see what changes on the connected device. Every supported trackpad gesture is shown below.
Start with relaxed hands.
Let the phone support your palm and move only the fingers needed for the gesture. Blue contact marks show where the fingers touch.
One finger
Point, click, and drag.
Keep the movement light. You can lift your finger and reposition it at any time, just as you would on a physical trackpad.

Tap once, then lift your finger without moving it sideways.
Hold + move
Select and drag
Press and hold, wait for the contact cue, then slide while keeping the same finger down.

Place two fingertips side by side and move them together. Keeping the fingers parallel makes scrolling smoother and easier to control.

Tap two fingers together and lift them without sliding.

Rest two fingers side by side, then move both vertically as one natural motion.
Pinch or spread

Keep the first finger holding the item, add two more fingers, then move those two vertically together.

Windows only. Omny Pad leaves this gesture unassigned on other OS profiles.Host mapping

Omny Pad sends standard Bluetooth HID mouse reports and keyboard shortcuts. It does not pretend to be an Apple Trackpad or Windows Precision Touchpad, so shortcuts and host settings can affect the result.
