    iPad mini What if: iPad mini with Force Touch doubles as Magic Trackpad for Mac?

    Sometimes, like right now, I sit at the desk with my iPad mini. I look at the mini, beside my mouse, and lament the Magic Trackpad I cannot currently afford. It gets me thinking, is the iPad mini not the perfect size for a Magic Trackpad? All they'd need to do is give the mini Force Touch (and...

    Can we set custom actions for multiple finger Force Touch?

    The built in functions take advantage of 1, 2, 3, or 4, finger actions on trackpads on Mac. Force touch is also enabled for 1 finger actions. But Apple does not appear to have reserved any unique force touch functions for multiple fingers force touching simultaneously. (or for 5 fingers either)...

    Magic Trackpad 2 on 10.9 (or lower)

    It should not actually be too difficult to get the magic trackpad 2 to work on 10.9 or lower, complete with native multitouch gestures (excluding force touch of course(. Basically, you will need 2 parts: 1) Kernel driver to communicate with MT2 and receive frames containing transducer (finger)...

    How do you see what Bluetooth version a connected device is?

    So I'm having trouble deciding which Magic Trackpad to get, the Magic Trackpad 2 or the 2021 version. It seems most differences are superficial like a slight aesthetic redesign to match the M1 iMacs better and a different cable in the box. But what I really want to know is whether the 2021 has...

    Magic Trackpad 2 - Force Touch is gone

    I'm using Magic Trackpad 2 with MacBook Pro 13 late 2011 and macOS 10.13.6. Few weeks ago Magic Trackpad get stuck in pressed position, like it was pressed all the way down, and works like Force Touch is disabled. Another problem is the increased battery usage. Usually it lasted about 2 weeks...

    Is buying a Magic Trackpad 2 an bad investment - battery wise?

    Hello, Is there any way to check the remaining battery health (NOT the charge) on rechargeable devices? I'm considering buying a Magic Trackpad 2, second hand locally, but if there's no way to check the remaining capacity of the battery itself, I might end up with an virtually unusable device...

    Wacom touch vs Magic Trackpad touch -- comparable experience?

    I'm wondering if anyone has any experience on what the Wacom touch is like? Does it feel natural? Comparable to the Magic Trackpad (2) from Apple? Cross platform on Windows or, heavens-to-Betsy, even Linux? I'm currently contracting and using a Mac as my main machine along with a new Magic...

    2016 MBP 15" Bluetooth

    Since getting my 15" MBP I've noticed sporadic bluetooth dropouts and I think it occurs more often with the # of devices connected. For instance my Magic 2 Keyboard will randomly get stuck typing or my Magic 2 TrackPad will stop responding and my AirPods can't stay connected for more than a few...

    Magic Trackpad 2 occasional lag

    Hi I just bought the trackpad and I love it except that it occasionally lags in wireless mode. For example, as I scroll down a page by flicking two fingers several times, it will miss a flick randomly. It's not just on multi touch. As I flickered through a page and use one finger to move the...
