ChromeOS support treats mouse input as a touch device

Open mtlynch opened this issue 4 years ago • 3 comments

Description

A user has reported that Chromebook interprets TinyPilot's mouse emulation as a touch device.

What's the behavior that you expect?

The ChromeOS treats the TinyPilot's input the same way it would treat an external physical mouse.

What's happening instead?

Instead of moving the cursor as the user moves the cursor on the screen, the cursor only moves when the user clicks the cursor. And scrolling can only happen when the user clicks and drags the screen like on a phone.

What are the steps to reproduce this behavior?

  1. Connect TinyPilot to a Chromebook
  2. Try moving the mouse

I can confirm that I can reproduce this issue with the Tinypilot Voyager 2a, firmware version 2.5.4, when attached to a HP Chromebook x2 11-DA0023DX. I have not found a workaround.
