trackpad

Lately my Apple Trackpad is not working AT ALL. The forums offer no solution, only some that work for erratic or jumping scroll on trackpads, but I have not seen one in my searches of a solution for when it just stops scrolling. Apple Mini M4, Tahoe 26.4.1, Parallels 26.3.2.

The user experience in MacOS VMs is terrible for those using touchpads. Just trying to scroll frequently causes freezes lasting sometimes up to 15 seconds. This makes it completely unusable. The Apple Virtualization Framework supports trackpads and even free VM hypervisors support it. It...

I think it would be quite useful to have the gestures from the trackpad separated between the physical and virtual devices. For example, if I use Mac and do the three finger gesture to switch windows and move to my virtual Windows 11 machine, the three finger gesture backwards CURRENTLY switches...

Hi all, so I just installed Parallels 20 on my new M4 Pro MacBook Pro and noticed a weird bug with the trackpad which occasionally is popping up and bugging me. Basically, if I'm scrolling in an app, it seems like the scroll direction will randomly flip on me. I'll be scrolling down, the app...

there is no trackpad control in setting, is this normal?

Hey friends! I found myself looking for a solution to fix smooth scrolling while working on a visual studio project. Overall, I've actually found visual studio to be quite usable under parallels, but I did need to configure smooth scroll to match the hosts own scrolling sensitivity. If you're...

As advertised in Parallels Desktop 14 (and 15) release note, the trackpad's pressure sensitivity support was introduced : Support for pressure sensitivity in Windows. You can draw in Windows apps like Microsoft PowerPoint, Leonardo or Photoshop depending on the pressure you apply to the...

Usecase I want natural scrolling when i'm using the trackpad on my laptop. And I want reverse scrolling when it's plugged in to my workspace and an USB mouse is connected. Solution Create a management environment where you can set up automatic switch scrolling when a certain type of mouse is...

I would like to be able to use trackpad gestures in my Windows 11 VM. Right now my trackpad is only recognized as a virtual mouse in Windows 11, with no way of recognizing a trackpad is attached, and thus no way of setting up gesture support. I have found various articles/forum help that explain...

No trackpad or keyboard in Windows10 22H2 on Macbook Pro High Sierra 10.13.6 and PD 17.1.7. Same condition with external Apple USB keyboard & mouse connected. Both work fine in OSX. Works for a short while in Win10 PD fullscreen but then fails. Doesn't work at all in less than fullscreen...

Hi everyone, Running a ventura VM on ventura, there are some limitations that are known of course but i have a couple of questions The time is not synching with apple time servers, does anyone else have this issue? Trackpad configuration not available, is it normal? Any chance they will be...

My trackpad works correctly outside of Windows 11. My Bluetooth mouse works as it should I guess while in Windows but my trackpad does not select anything or allow me to click on anything. When I do click, it seems to bring up an alt right click kind of menu. The pointer is fine. I didn't...

I am using a Macbook Pro M1 2021, and only using the built-in trackpad, to run a Linux guest. I understand that Linux/Ubuntu has moved towards using libinput, and that this means that trackpad scroll speed is not customizable. Further, the virtual mouse provided by Parallels is not a trackpad...

Whilst admiring Parallels for what it is, how beyond it sets itself apart from the competition, I can't help but feel that the trackpad support has been neglected, and it's long due for a proper implementation. MacBook users have one of the best trackpads in the market, but the implementation in...

I'm using a MacBook pro, M1 ARM Chip. I'm running a Linux Ubuntu Server ARM64 Guest with XUbuntu as Desktop environment. When I'm two-finger-scrolling on the touch pad, the scrolling is extremely fast (unusably fast). Linux-internal settings are already set to slowest scrolling speed. Is there...

Boot Camp has just introduced support for Microsoft's "precision touchpad" driver, allowing for superior trackpad performance on Macs when Windows is booted natively. It would be incredible if this could also be possible in a Parallels Windows virtual machine. Scrolling and gestures are fine in...

Hi, I was wondering if there's any chance to use trackpad gestures running windows on parallels. For example when I try to use the most common one, the three fingers swiping up, I activate mission control instead of activating the multitasking in windows. Thanks

I'm new to Parallels, but not to virtual machines. I'm excited to finally be able to run a clean OSX VM in which I can test installation procedures and other software development / debugging! .. but the first snag I've hit is I put an application (within the MacOS guest) fullscreen, and can't...

Currently, gestures such as two finger scroll, or two finger tap for right-click on mac are not passed to the mac if done on a trackpad connected to ipad accessing the mac remotely. This is a major gap in functionality that I would have expected Parallels to be on top of as a developer. Please...

Parallels Access works surprisingly well, letting me get actual work done through my Mac using my iPad. Sadly, gestures with the iPad's trackpad, like two finger scrolling to scroll my Mac's screen, do not work as expected. Please fully support this new official keyboard and trackpad from Apple.
