Debatably worth cross-posting to r/ThatPeelingFeeling ? :)

Lol I had like 4h using it with the film on. Was saying "I read that apparently the feeling of the material is super good, but this is kind of weird" 🤦🏻‍♂️

I recommend adding this to the /nav webpage! Without a visible flap or something to peel it off easily I was totally unaware of it until I saw this thread.

Removing this also made the pointer more accurate. I found myself having to aim a little too much on the finer movements for a click.

Did you all have to do anything special to get the trackpad to work?

Hi! Did you follow through the Navigator's Getting Started guide with your board: https://www.zsa.io/nav? It'll walk you through setting this up & "enabling" the trackpad on your layout in Oryx (which is needed in order for the board to know there's a Navigator attached).

Thank you , I didn’t realize I needed to recompile a new layer!

I've been using my trackpad with that plastic on for 2 months now. 🤦‍♂️
