Apple Magic Trackpad: Wireless, Bluetooth, Rechargeable. Works with Mac or iPad; Multi-Touch Surface - White

I used my Magic Mouse for everything; however, it can become uncomfortable after a few hours. So, I got this trackpad because I wanted to try something different, and I wasn't disappointed. It can be configured in many ways and helps reduce wrist and hand stress. For tasks that require more precision, I have no problem using the trackpad, but would a mouse be easier? That depends on your workflow. The battery life is good, and it goes to sleep when not in use. You also have the option to switch it off when not using for an extended time. You can alsl charge it and use the trackpad at the same time. When I opened the product, it instantly connected to my Mac. Of course, it is sleek, and its aesthetic is great. I chose the lightning connector since I felt that the $149 cost was overpriced, so the value for the money made the comfort worth it. It is not a lightweight product and seems to be of good quality.

After coming from the ergonomic nightmare that is the Magic Mouse, I was happy to find that the magic pad was intuitive and comfortable to use. The trackpad is pricey which as per usual with Apple is a bit much. I got it refurbished on Amazon which saved some. Seems to work like new. Once I synced it up, it immediately pairs with the Mac every time it wakes up. The device has a bit of a learning curve to get the control so I recommend having the shortcuts page on the Apple website saved as a bookmark. After taking the time to learn everything, it’s hard to imagine going back to the regular house. This is much more snappy and intuitive (assuming you’re not doing something that demands a mouse like photoshop). The pad also looks very sleek on my desk which gives it a nice minimal look.

Appears to be an older version of the Trackpad, with the old Lightning connection and a color I think they no longer offer. It's black, not space grey. Has worked fine for the first month of operation. Apple quality.

After getting a large desk monitor and starting to use my MacBook Pro in clamshell mode, I first bought the black magic, keyboard with Touch ID and matching black Magic Mouse. I wanted to get the trackpad too, but it seemed kind of like overkill in addition to the mouse. Then I got a whole bunch of Amazon credit from some surveys and stuff that I did and it was on sale so I decided to splurge for the sake of comparison. The Magic Mouse was great with the ability to scroll up and down and swipe left and right and right click and all that, but the Magic Trackpad is so much better for almost everything. I never used a mouse with my MacBook Pro in laptop mode, so using the trackpad was immediately more intuitive than the mouse. I think I’m going to sell the black Magic Mouse now I really don’t have any use for it. It’s just setting up on the desk. I think I’ll post it for sale. I thought about keeping it for when I’m traveling or something, but that really doesn’t make any sense. I really wanna travel late and since my MacBook already has a trackpad and I’m used to using the trackpad it just doesn’t make sense. I tried the trackpad on the left and the mouse on the right combination. I found that I didn’t use the trackpad enough and my left hand isn’t as fluid with the trackpad as my right hand was and it kind of hurt my brain to use it with my left hand. Maybe I should try more before I give it all up. It just seemed like I was picking up the Magic Mouse a lot from the desk and placing it back on the desk, even though I had a very large area that I was working in with a nice big mouse pad area. It isn’t as intuitive as the trackpad that’s all I can really say. It’s all good. It’s all for quality stuff. It’s Apple. You’re paying the premium but boy I really enjoy working with the Magic Trackpad and the touch ID keyboard with my MacBook Pro tucked away in the keyboard drawer of the desk with all the cables plugged into it my set up is so clean there’s virtually nothing on the desk, but the keyboard in the trackpad.

The magic trackpad works out of the box on linux. Specifically, it works on the distribution release I use, ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS. I tried two other trackpads with usb receivers, logitech and perixx. The logitech was very flaky, but I bought it used, and it may have been defective to begin with, or damaged by its previous owner. I also don't think logitech makes it any more. The perixx was a reasonable deal given the price, but it required a touch that was a bit heavy and did not always pick up movement or taps. The magic trackpad, although not perfect, has a smoother surface, takes a lighter touch, and is more responsive and consistent in its behavior. The battery in my case lasts one to two months before I have to recharge — YMMV. The trackpad behaves the same way as the builtin touchpad on my laptop, supporting single, double, and two-finger taps, and it allows me to drag objects around the screen. There is a third party driver on github which enables three-finger gestures. I don't remember the name. I'll make some recommendations regarding the trackpad setup on ubuntu, using a combination of gui and terminal utilities. If you only want to use a gui interface or are not interested in a slightly off-label configuration, or if you don't use ubuntu or any of its derivative distributions (or maybe if you don't use apt or a gnome desktop), you can disregard the rest of the review. Configuration and usage recommendations for ubuntu: The open source bluetooth driver package included with debian and debian-based linuces, such as ubuntu, is called "bluez". Ubuntu LTS (long-term support) ships with bluez 5.64, in spite of the fact that stable debian (version 12, code-name "Bookworm") ships with 5.66. I'd recommend an upgrade to the later version. The easiest way to pair a new device is to use the settings/bluetooth page in the (gnome) gui desktop. Once paired, the system retains the definition, but the connection is lost during a reboot or suspend. If you are using bluez 5.66 or above, you can force a reconnection just by pressing down on the trackpad to produce a click (just tapping won't do it). The click inserts a bluetooth icon in the panel at the top the screen. After a few seconds, the pointer responds to additional trackpad events. Click-to-reconnect works both before and after login. Pointer movement and clicks work on the login page; taps are post-login only. If you are using bluez version 5.64, you will have to explicitly reconnect after logging in. In my opinion, the easiest option is to reconnect with a shell script. Obtain the trackpad's mac address by clicking on the "magic trackpad" link in the settings/bluetooth device listing, or by executing "bluetoothctl devices" in a terminal window. (I'll use A1:B2:C3:D4:E5:F6 as a sample address — obviously, you should substitute your own.) Create a shell script with the single line, bluetoothctl connect A1:B2:C3:D4:E5:F6 and move or copy it to a directory in the path. For the script file name, use something short and suggestive, like "tpad". Then, whenever you reboot, or wake up from suspension, open a terminal window with the keyboard shortcut, ctrl+alt+t [control, alt, and the letter T], then type "tpad", and press return. If for some reason you want to disconnect and stay live, create a script containing the line, bluetoothctl disconnect A1:B2:C3:D4:E5:F6 The simplest way of manually upgrading to bluez 5.66 is to search online for the package's file name, download, and install locally. If you're using an intel or amd PC with a 64-bit OS (and you probably are), the name is bluez_5.66-1_amd64.deb If you have a different architecture, search for debian packages stable admin and follow the link. ("admin" refers to the administrative utilities page.) Find "bluez (5.66-1)" on the admin page and click on the link. Go to the bottom of the package page and select the architecture of your choice. After the download, in a terminal window, change to the download directory and install the package with sudo apt install ./bluez_5.66-1_amd64.deb Normal apt upgrades will not replace 5.66 until a later version is added to the repository. To see what you have on your system, execute dpkg -l bluez

I've been using this in tandem with a mouse (I use mouse right handed, and use trackpad on left) and here is what I think: Great Feel: The trackpad feels fantastic. The smooth, multi-touch surface is a nice. Compatibility: It works seamlessly on both Linux and Mac, which is a solid plus for my setup. Gestures: The gestures are intuitive. If you're comfortable using Macbook gestures, you're right at home. They make navigating and multitasking much more efficient. Overall Satisfaction: I really like this trackpad. It's a great addition to my workstation, combining excellent build quality with versatile functionality - though it is kind of expensive.

Estoy muy contenta con la compra de este trackpad, al principio dudé un poco porque leí que a algunos les llegó un producto de imitación, la cajita no traía un plástico de protección, pero si una etiqueta de sello, la cual estaba en perfecto estado, trae su cable para cargar el trackpad, también su instructivo y guía. El material de buena calidad y la estetica de la marca, estoy muy satisfecha con la compra, además que el que vende este producto es amazon México, lo cuál me hace sentir segura de mi compra y me expidieron mi factura electrónica sin problema.

Works as promised, good value

The Apple Magic Trackpad is a game-changer when it comes to navigating your Mac or iPad. This sleek, black wireless trackpad connects via Bluetooth and is rechargeable, making it both convenient and eco-friendly. Its multi-touch surface allows for a range of gestures, making it easy to swipe, scroll, and click your way through apps and programs. Plus, with its compact design, it won't take up much space on your desk or in your bag. I highly recommend this product!

What can i say?? I absolutely love this product. its a very sleek design from the old magic trackpad. The matte finish glass on top makes it very smooth to navigate the trackpad and the battery life is amazing that is lasting me almost 2 months and the battery is only at 47% from when i last charged it 2 months ago. Im assuming the battery can last me another 1-2 months before i have to charge it. the box comes packaged beautifully. (It is Apple after all). with the trackpad itself nicely wrapped and a braided USB-C to Lightning Cable. Best part is once its connected to your mac its automatic connection.
