Thus, the Apple Magic Trackpad is only conditionally suitable for mouse intensive games. We partly lost valuable time, especially when we were in online mode. The first steps of building our own base were very easy, but gathering our troops quickly wasn't as simple. It requires a well-mixed blend of simple, but also very complex and fast movements. We insinuated Blizzard's new Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty (real-time strategy) for the last test. After a bit of trial and error, we opted for the combination of USB mouse and Magic Trackpad, since they can be used simultaneously. Nevertheless, a mouse bids a bit more precision and the familiar handling adds rapidity. However, even more complicated gestures are executed successfully with a bit of practice. More intricate scenarios, such as image editing in Adobe Photoshop, are more difficult. A major advantage is the simplified scroll function with two fingers. The Magic Trackpad can display its own strengths in these application cases.

Simple office tasks, such as internet surfing, navigating on the Mac OS X desktop or writing and editing long text documents is very easy. We have looked at various scenarios, starting with internet surfing up to current strategy games, and checked the suitability in comparison to an ordinary mouse. The likely most important point of this review is the Magic Trackpad's suitability in everyday use. The glass surface's feel is very pleasant and the smooth surface convinces us. The right key first has to be enabled in the trackpad's settings. The mechanical mouse keys are found in the lower corners, as usual. You have to decide between these two functions. A further drawback of this function is the loss of the "swipe to navigate" function. The first attempts weren't easy and a bit of practice is needed for proficiency of this function. It allows the use of the drag & drop function. The only novelty is the three finger click. The familiar gestures of the MacBook Trackpad are found beside the usual touchpad functions. All in all, it has a plain design as known of Apple, which is very convincing. Aside the small aluminum bar, there is the big glass surface that can be used completely. At the same time, they supply a non-slip grip. The four rubber feet elevate the device from the surface. The bottom is finished in a high-gloss white. This allows the cap to be somewhat smaller and fit tighter at the same time. It bids room for the power button and the two AA batteries, beside the electronics. The Magic Trackpad is based on the wireless keyboard design.

The Windows drivers are available in both a 32 bit and 64 bit version. Even Windows' users can use the Magic Trackpad via Bluetooth, whereby only the basic functions of a touchpad are supplied.
#Mac trackpad gestures chart update#
This special Trackpad update installs the functions and drivers on the system. The newest update for version 10.6.4 is needed to use the trackpad with Mac OS X. They are already inserted and the power on button on the right activates the device. Two Energizer AA batteries are included for an immediate initiation. You'll have to cope without the small Apple stickers for this peripheral device.
#Mac trackpad gestures chart manual#
A total of twelve pictures, each with its own short, illustrative gesture description can be seen.īesides the trackpad, there is a user's manual amongst other papers, which are rather secondary, inside the box. The back is interesting for the user because all gestures supported by the trackpad are found here. Merely the Apple logos and a bit of information and barcodes are on the sides. There is a picture of the trackpad with a few English words on the front. The white packaging is as plain as usual.
