Questions & Answers for Magic Trackpad

Yes, you certainly can. You can assign the lower left or lower right area of the Trackpad to act as the right click and you can also check "Secondary tap" under the Two finger options. This means that whenever you tap two fingers at the same time, the system will recognize that as the right click.

It's very easy to configure what you want one, two, three, and even four finger tapping and swiping to accomplish. System Preferences is where these configurations are made.

You would be better off with something like the wacom "bamboo craft pen and touch" if you really want to use it as a tablet. It both acts as a multitouch trackpad, but accepts pen input.

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and forearm cramping from scrolling, picking up/putting down the mouse, as well as the 'clicking' with the mouse has been replaced by a single finger 'Tap' !!

Due to the bluetooth settings on your computer, it is only possible to have one trackpad connected to your computer at one time.

There is no problem pairing multiple bluetooth devices to the same computer.

Using standard alkalines, I get about 3 months of 3-4 hours use per day. However, I recently switched to Apples charger and AA's. They are fairly elegant and attractive for being a simple set of six AA's and a little charger. I seem to be seeing much longer battery life, as my percentage meter in Sytem Preferences is falling much slower than it did with the Alkalines. Apples batteries are, in fact, rebranded Sanyo Eneloops. However, the Apple setup is well priced and a perfect solution as it provides six batteries. Two for the keyboard, two for the trackpad, and two for whichever one dies first. The moment one of them goes dead, you slap it's batteries into the charger and the cycle begins anew.
