I have never been able to get game mode to work consistently. But with the latest firmware upgrade, things have gotten much much worse. I'm using an iGesture NumPad (1.5.5) with Mac OS X 10.3. Here are the problems:
- I seem to be able to get only partially into Game Mode. For example, 3-finger drag is disabled but 2-finger tap still clicks.
- Putting down 3 fingers (which should allow me to move around but not click) sometimes initiates a click, sometimes doesn't.
- Putting down my thumb with 3 fingers down sometimes initiates a click (which it should), sometimes doesn't (which tends to result in death in a shooting game).
- With pinky set to right-click, putting down 3 fingers sometimes initiates a right-click, which also tends to get me killed. Moving around with 3 fingers down can also sometimes initiate a right-click.
These problems combine to make the iGesture virtually unusable for gaming. Any ideas?
I also find (and perhaps this may be related) that outside of gaming, the iGesture sometimes reads the wrong gesture - for example, with a button4 click assigned to Expose, I sometimes get Expose activated in the middle of a drag.
