ASUS Touch Monitor and Mac OS 10.13

displaymulti-touch

I have on my desk an ASUS VT229, a multitouch monitor. I attached it via a docking station to my MBP (HDMI + USB port for touch recognition) and it works well with Windows (7 & 10, running in my VMware Fusion), but it works 50% with OS X.

Basically I can move mouse pointer (it also recognizes multitouch) but I cannot click 😛

Maybe there's something I can do to make it work better?

MacOS native HID driver does not support touch screens. Some touch devices switch to single touch 'mouse' emulation when plugged into a non Windows system, many don't and stay in Windows HID multi-touch mode not supported by MacOS. We supply a MacOS multi-touch driver that mimics a Apple track pad and much more. Further details are available at www.touch-base.com

You might also check a product USB Overdrive, they don’t explicitly mention touch screens, but they have long provided quality software for Mac and input devices and are fully ready for Catalina. Further detauils on that are at https://www.usboverdrive.com/
