The YouTube video showed you how to make a spiral notebook act like a mouse. Just do what he did.

A laugh a minute! What you DON'T see is the touchpad under the paper.
I thought those things worked by capacitance? Through paper?

Just for the heck of it I tried an experiment with the trackpad on my MacBook Pro. Up to 6 sheets of paper worked fine. 7 sheets & things got erratic. 8 sheets no good. Interesting.:)

p.s. The paper I used was a mixture of notebook paper, printer paper, and junk mail paper (just a bunch of stuff I had handy at arm's reach). Paper thickness may have varied. So results may vary.;)
