General Gesturing Tips

For right click and other gestures that use the thumb, try to touch with the long, flat side of your thumb rather than its tip.	For right click and other gestures that use the thumb, keep the thumb spread a couple inches from the fingertips.	Avoid exaggerated hand rotation for gestures like OPEN and CLOSE. Start with a neutral hand position and slightly twist the fingertips.

General Pointing Tips


Feel free to use alternate fingertip pairs. Pointing can be done with any two adjacent fingertips excluding the thumb.	Relax. No need to press hard on the surface. A light touch works best.	Don't squeeze your fingertips together or spread them far apart. Keep them relaxed and slightly separated.	Holding suspended fingers too high is fatiguing. You can drop them on the surface after starting a point, drag, or scroll operation.	For fine scrolling, dragging, or pointing, ROLL your fingertips rather than slide them.
