I have to click on the BTT icon and select "Restart BetterTouchTool" and then it works; so it's not the option getting lost, is just that somehow it does not "get in" when BTT starts.toyghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04499664589774142384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3676448.post-59979681783127998622016-12-18T10:53:48.635+00:002016-12-18T10:53:48.635+00:00Ha, nice!

To invert, go to Advanced Settings -> Trackpad (upper right hand side) -> 'Mirror complete Magic Trackpad orientation for "upside-down" usage' (lowest option on screen). I also selected "Launch BetterTouchTools on startup" from the "Simple" -> "Basic Settings" in the app... works as described!<br /><br />I'm pissed at Apple over this.. but bettertouchtools seems to work smoothly, and I can swing $6 if the integration is seamless. So far it seems to be! <br /><br />My configuration, specifically:<br /><br />- MBP (retina) 15" 2014<br />- 1st gen. magic trackpad (inverted, FTW!)<br />- MacOS Sierra (10.12.2)<br /><br />I tried it first, in El Capitan, just to be sure - inversion button worked as described, so I updated. Same functionality in OS Sierra!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3676448.post-20469775987076936162016-09-28T18:36:56.886+01:002016-09-28T18:36:56.886+01:00NOOOOOO.... i hang the battery compartment off the...NOOOOOO.... i hang the battery compartment off the edge of my desk with the keyboard right above it.. it perfectly mimics the setup of the laptop, so I don't need to make any cognitive change to how I work at my desk with monitor and how I work on my laptop alone...

I just took mine out of the closet and have been using it for only a few minutes and I was already looking for a way to invert this thing so that it's not uncomfortable as hell. <br /><br />Please tell me someone can find a way to invert it on Sierra. Otherwise is back to a mouse for me.TylerJameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00080631960605502419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3676448.post-21718248414530271232016-09-24T22:10:17.093+01:002016-09-24T22:10:17.093+01:00I too got it to work in El Capitan.
