Espresso touch screen monitor for Mac RECOMMENDED

PostFri Sep 30, 2022 7:33 am

After many years of OK but fiddly results with an ASUS touchscreen and the touchbase drivers, I have moved to a new solution, https://espres.so/. Unfortunately they only have 15" size, but you just plug it in, install their app, and it just works.

For consideration, especially in a smaller setup.

Are you still happy with the Espresso Touch Screen for Mac?

Anyone else have experience with these?

I’ve had these for a few years now working with a 10 year old MacBook Pro. Was easy to set up - I have them on two monitor holders and it works very well.

Do you find the 15" suitable for hitting stops on the fly and what mount are you using? The magnetic stand or a VESA type mount? was curious if it was stable when you touch stops and couplers.

Thanks for your feedback!

I just got my second and the touch did not work on both. I contacted Espresso and they said that is a limitation of Apple and they were trying to work that out. How is it that you have two?

the OP mentioned an older mac; if you're on an M1, they have a limit of only two monitors. Do you by chance have a "main" monitor for the computer itself, and then two touch screens just for HW? If so, that could explain the issue.

Even older intel Macs had a limit of one touchscreen without a third party driver. I had a 2018 intel Mac Mini with two Asus screens and had to use a TouchBase Driver.

Espresso tech support themselves told me there is a limit of one touch screen per Mac and that is not just the M1 or M2 Macs.

I am now on a Mac Studio and trying to work with TouchBase to get the second Asus monitor to work like it did on the intel Mac.

The M2 studio does not have a limit of 2 monitors like you stated, I have three separate screens running, but only one has the touch working.
