    Does anyone know a windows version of BTT? Looking for multi-swipe, multi-finger gesture for a precision touchpad.

    Have tried:
    1) The Synaptics drivers, but they're a little limited in customizabilty,
    2) Multiswipe, which is exactly what I'm looking for when it works. But it's unreliable and crashes often.

    Interested in what other use for nice, intuitive gestures on a windows machine. Thanks!

    What you should be asking is to use the driver/software made for that specific device and not go finding others as they aren't made for that specific driver. As you seen in your part 2 you seen what having not OEM drivers software can do.

    Thanks - is there a way to get customizable 3/4/5 finger gestures using the Synaptics drivers? Maybe some sort of registry hack?

    You can ask the OEM manufacture that question. Any custom edits should be coming from them first.
