Magic Trackpad

The new Magic Trackpad is the first Multi-Touch trackpad designed to work with your Mac desktop computer. It uses the same Multi-Touch technology you love on the MacBook Pro. And it supports a full set of gestures, giving you a whole new way to control and interact with what’s on your screen. Swiping through pages online feels just like flipping through pages in a book or magazine. And inertial scrolling makes moving up and down a page more natural than ever. Magic Trackpad connects to your Mac via Bluetooth wireless technology. Use it in place of a mouse or in conjunction with one.

Overview

More control at your fingertips.

Magic Trackpad gives you a whole new way to control what’s on your Mac desktop computer. When you perform gestures, you actually interact with what’s on your screen. You feel closer to your content, and moving around feels completely natural. Swiping through pages on screen is just like flipping through pages in a magazine, and inertial scrolling senses the momentum in your fingers as you move up and down a page.

More to touch, more to love.

Your fingers will fall for the Magic Trackpad. It’s made with smooth, wear-resistant glass that feels great to the touch. And it’s nearly 80 percent larger than the built-in trackpad on the MacBook Pro, giving you plenty of room to perform gestures. Because the entire surface of Magic Trackpad is a button, you can click on objects just as you would using a traditional mouse. And Magic Trackpad sits at the same height and angle as the Apple Wireless Keyboard, so you can go from trackpad to keyboard in one seamless motion.

Bluetooth technology.

Magic Trackpad connects to your Mac via Bluetooth wireless technology. Use it in conjunction with the Apple Wireless Keyboard for a cable-free, uncluttered workspace. And if you feel like venturing away from your desk, Magic Trackpad maintains a reliable and secure connection up to 33 feet away from your Mac.

    Surfin' from the couch! SWEET!
    • Written by RF from Lancaster
    • Jul 28, 2010

    As soon as I saw this thing, I bought it. I use my Mac Mini hooked to a 42" HDTV, so using a mouse from the couch is pretty terrible. Even nice mice like the magic mouse have trouble tracking unless I use a lap desk and mouse pad, which isn't the most comfortable solution. With this, I can surf in comfort and give all of my iMac-using buddies Mac envy!

    Besides, with all of the multitouch gestures on the pad, this is the most versatile pointing device Apple makes! Here's hoping they make an iOS-based Apple TV and then make the touchpad a gaming controller too!     …More

    Great idea!
    • Written by LG from Ringgold
    • Jul 27, 2010

    After purchasing the new magic mouse I thought it would be a replacement for my new MBP multi-touch trackpad, but it didn't allow all of the same features. This is a great addition to my bluetooth keyboard & compliments my Waycom pad for photo work. I'm not sure if it's really 'worth' the upgrade over the magic mouse, but it is nice to have such a large gesture-based surface, much like the iPad. Props to Apple for thinking outside the box on this one, although the possibility & 'idea' of this technology could have happened a few years ago. …More

    I use a Macbook Pro for editing films and use a stand to bring it's screen closer to eye level. I've had an editing keyboard for some time that is suspended from the desk just above my knees but I had to reach up the the MBP to use the trackpad.

    • Feb 9, 2012

    I made a good decision switching to Apple. They really make quality products with unique design. The magic trackpad is awesome. I can't go back using a mouse. The trackpad is very easy to use, little hard to learn in the beginning but you will get used to it.

    Thank you Apple     …More

    Just the thing.
    • Written by RG from Toronto
    • Feb 7, 2012

    I got the Magic Trackpad to replace an aging wireless USB mouse whose responsiveness had always been a little spotty and that ate batteries.

    This new device is great. It's bigger than the trackpad on the laptop, so I can just reach over and use it without looking. The bluetooth connection is flawless, and the sensitivity of the response matched my existing settings right out of the box.

    Especially with OS X Lion's switch to inverted scrolling and making gestures (swipe up/down/left/right, pinch zoom, etc.) on all devices more cohesive, having a wireless trackpad makes perfect sense.     …More

    Only Apple Could Make The Mouse Obsolete!
    • Written by LK from Ventnor
    • Feb 6, 2012

    This is probably, in my opinion, the single best leap forward to best the typical mouse in the history of peripherals! I have for years wondered why someone hadn't taken the trackpad from a laptop and made it available alone for any desktop. Well from the maker of the almighty "mouse" comes it's absolute replacement for any desktop Mac or Windows driven. It makes using my iMac 27" (current model as of February 6th, 2012) so much easier and intuitive. Which is what Apple does best, making products we all want to use and own. Mac's look good and even better are stable, IMO the most stable and intuitive, and safe way to get yourself online.

    No Windows based computer or laptop could or can come close to the ease of use and intelligence in it's operating system. A system that Windows continues to try and copy over and over with every new version. Mac OS Lion is superb and really has this new track pad in mind since it has so many different ways to swipe, crunch, widen, and my favorite--flip back and forward between website pages. With just a flip of the finger you can go forward or back between pages. Instead of using the mouse to move back and forth or move the cursor to pick the forward or backward arrow on the top of the browser.

    Love this product beyond words and once again made by Apple. As is most things that are truly intuitive and made for people to use easily. The Magic Trackpad redefines how we do something so simple in our everyday online time.

    wWay to go Apple. Great product an really makes me scratch my head as to why someone else hadn't perfected the replacement of a mouse. But then again who else was going to do this? Certainly nothing from the Labs (and I use that term loosely) of Microsoft. Lol. Sorry to be such an obvious fanboy for Apple but lets be real, there's a reason that Apple as a company is growing in leaps and bounds.     …More

  • How would I drag-and-drop with the Magic Trackpad?
    • Asked by JA from Wyoming
    • Aug 11, 2010

    13 Answers

    Best Answer

    There are two options, both of which are mentioned above, but maybe not clearly enough...(?) In any event one, or both, of two options must be selected in the Trackpad Preferences: "Dragging" and "Drag Lock."

    First, one must select the object to be dragged, be it a file in Finder or some text in a word processing app. This is accomplished with the MTP in essentially the same fashion is would be done with a mouse: Position the cursor and then press down on the MTP until an audible 'click' is felt/ heard. Continue holding the MTP down and drag to the desired second position (to either, e.g., move a file/ drawn object or select/ highlight some text), then release the pressure. (Repeat the procedure to drag highlighted text, e.g.). This is 'simple' dragging.

    [Note that the MTP's front feet must be on a solid, stable surface for the above method to work. Or one can 'pinch' either of the feet with one hand, while dragging with the other hand's finger. If one also has the "Secondary Click" option selected for either bottom corner, one must pinch on the opposite side foot from that corner. Clear? ;-) ]

    The second way is to single tap to select a file or other 'defined' object, or to initially position the I-beam cursor in some text. Double-click, but DO NOT release the second click (i.e., keep the finger on the MTP after the second touch). Start to move the object or highlight the text. At this point, you may now release the 'second tap' and the object will remain selected and draggable (or the cursor will continue highlighting text). One can then drag object/ highlight text all around the screen, even repositioning one's finger on the MTP and continuing to drag (being careful not to perform a 'single tap' by lifting one's finger too quickly after initially touching the MTP on subsequent drags). Once the object/ text is where one wants it, single click/ tap on the MTP to release the object/ text. This is 'drag lock.'

    Maybe not any clearer. Hope it helps.     …More

    I found that if you use a 'Mouse Pad' that has the raised wrist support at the bottom end, using the trackpad is absolutely wonderful ! No more wrist and forearm cramping from scrolling, picking up/putting down the mouse, as well as the 'clicking' with the mouse has been replaced by a single finger 'Tap' !! …More
