Best working so far is SmartTouchPad_v4.2_Final.zip. All SmartTouchPad versions after 4.2 have less accurate tracking, I may or may not look into why that is.

Additionaly, the multitouch gestures for every version of SmartTouchPad seem to be mapped to odd actions.

• 3 Fingers
  • Swipe up - Mission Control
  • Swipe down - alt (cmd?) + tab switcher
  • Swipe left/right - back & forward (in hindsight, this may be the actual action for this gesture)
• 4 Fingers
  • Swipe up - Cmd + q
  • Swipe down - Cmd + m
  • Swipe right - Open highlighted file on Finder's Info
  • Swipe left - Toggle dock hide/show

I'll continue investigating later.

SmartTouchPad v4.2 seems to have issues that cause it to stop completely when spamming the trackpad with gestures. Need to check if this issue exists in later versions of SmartTouchPad.

Issue doesn't seem to be present in v4.5, but I'll have to deal with the fidgety cursor. Will check if the default settings for the trackpad can be changed in order to imitate the mouse configuration on v4.2. This might be in Info.plist.

TODO: diff v4.2 and v4.5 Info.plist

This shouldn't be a thing.

This config feels... kinda comfortable so far. Maybe I should look into better 2-finger scrolling, though. There seems to be some sort of resistance, even though inertial scrolling is enabled. Also look into lessening the delay between typing and using the trackpad.

Made major changes to the modified plists. See 5aa736b, c3a256f, and c978f14.

Need to address these changes in the readme.md

Look into AccelerationPrefValue and PointerResolution

Look into InertialScrollLevel
