We know - it registers events correctly - it appears to integrate with pygame in not completely unreasonable fashion And that's it. Thing is that pygame is built on top of a C library called SDL. Pygame has therefore little to say on its own over what devices are supported on the system level, since it doesn't do much more than bind SDL's event handling interfaces to make them usable in python. So unless you want to write the necessary code in C into SDL first, there seems to be a way that is known to work and let's use that. There might be some prototype Pygame 2 based on SDL2 out there, maybe that one integrates the hardware support you're after? That would require Pygame to support this new event type [0] here. Pygame 2 has been on its way for a while, though, and mentions adding of new APIs on this milestone [1]... cheers! mar77i [0] https://wiki.libsdl.org/SDL_TouchFingerEvent#SDL_TouchFingerEvent-1 [1] https://github.com/pygame/pygame/milestone/4 Sent with ProtonMail Secure Email.
