Thanks for the quick response. Icons seem to be arranged differently these days so I need to see how better icons should be uploaded. I'll work on that and ask your opinion when it's ready.

Hi Dustin! You've been so good as to notify me when an update replaced the icons with non-color-friendly ones. I've just made an update to a much newer version -- can you tell me whether the icons are okay now or need to be replaced?

Howdy! It's been a while and I am just curious -- how are you doing with your nice keyboard?

Are you still looking for gestures? This PDF has the most useful ones - see more downloads in this forum.

This is just a small happy celebration :-) I had a problem with my board and I noticed that it has not been upgraded for a looong time. I was hesitant for fear of breaking even more (there have been problems in the past) but I couldn't resolve the issue by tinkering. I caved and (after taking proper...

Hello Bill! Welcome to this tiny community. It's been a good while since the last post. You have a cool story - are you going to start using your TS again now? It's unfortunate that you need a Windows XP installation (potentially in a virtual machine) to run the configuration software, but as long a...

Thank you for this! I'll add it to the downloads page!

I think it's not about using an old Linux distro, it's about getting your hands on a sufficiently old Java engine? That in turn might have dependencies, i.e. you can't run a very old Java on a new'ish OS. So you'd have to start with an OS from the same time and install that old Java version on it (i...

Hello! If you can make it work on Linux, that would be a great leap! My most recent efforts are years old but what we found back then was that it's easy enough to get the FingerWorks software to work, but impossible to upload the configuration to the keyboard because the FingerWorks software uses ol...

If you find that the entire Touch surface works for mousing or for moving the cursor, then the number pad issue is not a hardware problem. You might discover that some of the "key" hotspots on the surface have been disabled by the previous owner. Search the documentation for how to do a firmware res...

mind blowingly good for gestures and mind blowingly bad for typing Hello there! Yep, you hit the nail on the head with that. I'm very sorry to say that the era of FingerWorks is coming to a close. As you've noted, this forum is almost all quiet, only a few posts per year these days. It's so very sa...

Hi Peter! It seems that the FingerWorks users are slowly going extinct. There were never many of us in the first place. I must admit that I sold off my own devices a while ago, and I have barely visited this site since then, except for admin tasks. If you look at the memberlist , you'll see that 8 u...

Update: A happy buyer in Los Angeles bought it for $300 plus shipping. I'm sure it will go to a good home.

And with that, I no longer have any FingerWorks devices left :'-(

Hi all, I have sold off all my FingerWorks devices except this one, but I haven't used it in ages so I have decided to part with it. Make me an offer! ( Ebay link ) One piece of trivia: This is not just " a DigiTouch". This is " the first DigiTouch": it's the first one they released, and the one I r...

Aloha! Long time no chat.

The black plastic frames have several internal clips along every side, so opening them up means a lot of fiddly work with a thin blade. Be careful not to break (all) those tiny clips; use small drops of super glue to keep the frame closed again afterward if needed.

I don't know Maya but it's very odd that you say it works fine with a mouse, because the application does not know that you are NOT using a mouse. For all practical purposes, that's just a normal USB mouse you have there. Some thoughts come to mind: Are you not seeing this behavior in other applicat...

For what it's worth, I (used to) maintain a spreadsheet with all Ebay listings. This is very useful for figuring out the current market rate for the various FW devices. It's an open document, anyone can edit it: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1r0639mEJqtSL7plrMxaR72BvBNW9mGnUyjTZV-YLF1A/edit...

Another quick update: A little more maintenance work was done. Users won't notice but the admins will (hopefully!) notice even better antispam results now. Specifically, the forum's "Automod" modification engine has been upgraded to the newest version, so that the antispam plugin becomes more effect...

Another quick update:
The antispam plugin is frequently updated, and I am keeping up with installing each new version as it arrives. I can see that the plugin results become better with each new version. I am hopeful that this is a stable path for our forum.

if the DigiTouch is reprogrammable with the same utilities the other FingerWorks devices were Oh absolutely; it's simply the good odl MacNTouch device in a plastic case and an USB cable attached. My challenge is that I have a Dvorak layout on it (and I have a loose US Qwerty sticker I could use ins...

Did you decide already if you are going to make something with your Digitouch? Thanks for those photos, it looks like a nice fit! I didn't decide to make it. I've put it in the marketplace, haven't gotten around to Ebay yet. As useful as the DigiTouch is, my biggest challenge is that I don't use th...

The good news: The wiki is back online! 8) It's linked at the end of the forum start page, and it's also here: http://fingerfans.dreamhosters.com/bin/view The bad news: I'm an idiot. It's been offline for so long, yet all it took was fixing two lines in one config file. :roll: At some point in the ...

I remember the Ergodex - I thought it was a cool idea! Did you make any photos of your build? I have absolutely zero experience with using a router (the woodworking kind) and I would probably ask a friend for help. I think the corners would have to be hand-carved but the real trick is to make the ed...

Hey all! I had already sold my two iGesture NumPads some years back, and this fall I made a hard choice ... I sold my beloved TouchStream (Danish layout: very rare, and uniquely useful to me) as well as my backup US Qwerty TouchStream; I know they both went to good homes. So now all that remains is ...

Aloha Rqyteqto - it seems you got the final word in that, eh? It's been a full decade(!) since "phill" gave us a year tops, and this place is still around. A decade online is line a century in the real world. Ha!
