libinput works pretty much perfectly for me, both on a Thinkpad X240 (Synaptics PS/2, FreeBSD psm(4)) and a Magic Trackpad 1st gen.

The only issue I have is that it's too conservative about starting to recognize gestures. On macOS, you can quickly transition from scrolling to pinching/rotating and it knows what you want. On libinput, you have to very deliberately stop scrolling, put two fingers into a pinch position, and start pinching.




I would love that deliberateness. There are so many times I unintentionally do a gesture using the built in ones on OS X that I had to turn it off.
