Compatibility
What Gatecaster runs on.
One panel is fully certified today; the architecture is built to generalize. Everything downstream of the HID decoder is already controller-agnostic, so adding a panel is a decoding problem, not a rewrite.
| Device | Controller | USB ID | Contacts | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Visual Beat V17UT The flagship panel. Pointer, gestures, palm rejection, calibration and the Touch API — all verified end-to-end. | ELAN | 04F3:5512 | 10-finger | Certified |
Other ELAN 04F3 panels Likely close to working — same vendor and handshake family. Send us a device dump to confirm. | ELAN | 04F3:**** | varies | Untested |
Generic USB-HID digitizers Match by HID usage instead of VID/PID, with report-descriptor parsing and a per-vendor quirk table. | Any (Digitizer 0x0D / 0x04) | ****:**** | varies | On roadmap |

Operating system
Runs on macOS 13+.
Apple Silicon and Intel. The app needs two permissions — Accessibility (to post events) and Input Monitoring (to read the HID) — then a relaunch. No kernel extension is ever installed.
