Desperately seeking: a decent for my (6th Gen). The Apple Magic Trackpad is _excellent_ but simply far too large.

I’ve tried several different trackpads and keyboards-with-trackpads and most of them are absolute garbage in comparison. Either the gesture support is minimal/non-existent or the feel is just wrong.

The sole exception is the trackpad on the keyboard case Logitech makes for larger iPads. It’s actually pretty good and supports nearly/¿all? gestures.

feature request for ...turning the into a magic . The would be perfect for it. All they'd need to do is add the amazing vibration motor and it'd basically mimic the trackpad.

TIL you can't have "natural" scrolling for the macOS ventura trackpad, and legacy scrolling for the mouse. that's how i've always had them set, but i went a long time without a mouse. when i finally plugged one back in - having gone from big sur to ventura - i've spent my day chasing after wrong-way windows. there still are separate switches in the mouse and trackpad control panels, but now they change the same setting and can't be different

Does anyone has any experience with Remote Mouse (remotemouse.net/) software? I have an old iPad lying around and I started thinking that it would probably be useful as a big trackpad for my Linux/Windows machines. Kinda have a second life before turning into e-waste.

I don't think I really realized, until wearing good noise-canceling headphones, that all of the of the Magic 2 are faked with speakers. There's no physical click, just a speaker that says "click" when you press it hard enough. Cover your ears, and you lose the sense of when you've clicked!

CenterMouse: Mac-Freeware schiebt den Zeiger ins Sichtfeld

Je größer der Monitor, um so wahrscheinlicher wird es, dass der eigene Mauszeiger kurz aus den Augen verloren wird. Apple hat dies schon relativ früh erkannt und bietet in den macOS-Systemeinstellungen die Option „Schüttele den Mauszeiger, um ihn zu finden an“. Ist diese Option aktiv wird der Mauszeiger bei ruckartigen Schüttelbewegungen automatisch vergrößert und rückt […]

@gllmr Je suis très sensible à la qualité des . Il y a un an, j'ai enfin trouvé des laptops qui me procurent le même niveau de confort que les trackpads des MacBook.

Cette montée en qualité est sans doute due au travail software fait ces dernières années par le projet "Linux touchpad like a Macbook Pro, May 2020 update" (bill.harding.blog/2020/04/26/l) et peut-être aussi par des progrès hardware 🤔 .

Does anyone have a recommendation for a good compact and combo specifically for use with an mini? It doesn’t have to be a keyboard case.

I have a Moft trifold one currently but the key layout and trackpad latency could be improved.

@todd I tested once more with the Pro and with a Magic connected to my mini; both have the same behavior.
If I click inside the little circle and start dragging while holding down, it drags the entire item.
When I quickly start dragging from inside the little circle, it does nothing, yet if I start dragging just a bit outside the little circle, it selects the item text.

So I'm moving back and forth between my 'work' laptop (a Macbook Pro I've literally worn the keys off of), and my 'new to me' linux laptop (Thinkpad running Ubuntu).

No real speedbumps, but I have the thinkpad configured for 'tap to click'. When that doesn't work on the MBP, I keep thinking the mac has locked up.

(No, won't enable it on the mac. It has a tendency to get 'false clicks' from my wrist).

If you use a with a , you’ve probably experienced a pesky bug that makes one of the most common trackpad gestures unusable. While has not rolled out a permanent fix for this problem, a new utility for can fix it with one click. tchlp.com/3w6xlis

Regarding the continuing -ification of , I’ve come to the conclusion that the gap between advanced and general use will only widen with time. If there was a credible alternative to macOS on a laptop that gets all the basics right, I’d jump on it. A isn’t it. support is inconsistent, while external monitor support, suspend-and-resume and power optimization are all hacky at best. support is plain bad. I don’t want to have to be a mechanic to drive a car.
