Partial The UI and configuration work is vibe-codeable, but adding touch support across many laptop touchpads requires parsing vendor-specific HID reports and integrating with the OS input stack. Coverage depends on hardware-specific knowledge.
What it would actually take: The core is a HID reader that decodes multi-touch reports from each touchpad family and maps them to OpenTabletDriver's output pipeline. Each vendor's protocol usually has to be reverse-engineered from captured reports, and Windows or Linux input APIs need to be handled. Expertise in USB/HID, low-level driver development, and reverse engineering of hardware protocols is needed.
