Reviews for Magic Trackpad

I bought a Magic Trackpad over a week ago and I am just finally becoming comfortable with it. In fact, I am beginning to absolutely LOVE it. If you are an old ex windows (like me) be prepared fora long learning curve. Well worth the effort when you get there!

I just put this in front of my computer and started using it. After a day I put the mouse and trackball away. I use logic 9 quite a bit and I find this works well. No issues. As far as battery life, I didn't even realize this thing took a battery! I've had no power issues at all and it's been a couple of months.

very useful easy to use, works from long distaces, sleek appearance, fast and great to use with short cuts
basically ~IT'S A MUST BUY~✺

The trackpad is one of my favorite features of the MacBook that I use for work, so it was natural to get the Magic Trackpad for my iMac. It's so much more intuitive and offers far more functionality than a mouse alone. It's a breeze to set up and I would highly recommend it. I'll never buy another mouse again.

After using the trackpad on a MacBook Pro for a long time, I realized I no longer need a mouse at all. Replaced the mouse altogether with a Magic Trackpad on this iMac. It's been weeks--the mouse is ancient history to me now. The gestures for back/forward, scrolling, etc. along with Expose's corner hotspots for app switching, Spaces, Dashboard, etc. make for very efficient input. Compared to the Windows/Dell setup I had a few years ago, this truly feels like the 21st century.

When you've been use to yanking a mouse around for years, it took me a minute to get use to just using my fingers to do the same thing. Once I realized that all I had to do was a gentle press of the pad to click... I was good to go!

Now I love it! Here we go again with Apple redefining the rules for the computer world for the better!

I'll definitely be buying this product again for my other systems!

The magic trackpad works great with the MacBook Pro, once you find out you must first download a file - DL1066. Once that's done, it's a dream to work with!

Not just pretty! This is one of the coolest things I have for my desktop. It even works in Windows!

I have no idea what people are complaining about with the sensitivity. I'm using it on a Macbook Pro (clamshelled) and it's a virtual clone of the one on the laptop. The sensitivity is perfect and the extra large surface area is exactly the right size - not too big, not too small.

I can't recommend this thing enough. VERY cool!

Don't get me wrong, I love my iPhone 4, but it didn't change THAT much about my smartphone usage. The Magic Trackpad, however, instantly changed the way I use my computer... forever. Goodbye mouse, the training wheels are off and I am now truly moving. The reason that I sound a little TOO excited is that I use Final Cut, Motion, Photoshop and other creative production softwares for a living and I knew after 20 minutes of using this device that I am working faster and smarter. As a freelancer, that means more money in my pocket. But money aside, I simply love the feel of using a large trackpad, it becomes so natural. The size makes all the difference for me (big hands), as I never really fell in love with laptop trackpads. This changes all of that because, once again, this changes everything...

I have been an Apple owner since 2001. I have bought hardware every year since and can say there have been a few moments when your impressed with the innovation and that it deserves recognition of being a "game changer."

I am very pleased with the Mgic Trackpad, I agree with some reviews that state that this hit the market without being introduced in a large audience or in some notable way but, don't let that fool you!

This amazing little pad is revolutionary in every way; I have a MBA and use a Aluminum Keyboard regularly but enjoy my trackpad so much and have had to be consigned to using my mouse when I am at the office or in "desktop" mode.

However, this is the "game changer" that was missing! Meaning I can quickly type on my Aluminum Keyboard and can now enjoy the gesture based trackpad/ mouse too!

If you wonder "how" it may feel to use it in that configuration; well I can attest that it is very natural and unnoticeable.

Great Job Product Development Team!
