I start learning TrackPad and I think I had finally remember it basic functions and I like it, you all is correct the TrackPad is functions much better than mouse, maybe I should buy the standalone TrackPad as most the time I am connected to external monitor.😅

xiaojohn soonwai soitsuagain Is the standalone TrackPad as good as the MacBook Pro one? Should I buy?

yes, the standalone trackpad is as good as the one on the MBP. I'm using it for both macOS and windows, replaced my MX master 3 with it.

I love it, I feel it is even better than MacBook Pro itself one, probably due to it is much bigger, also the press is more gentle to activate the key press than the MacBook Pro one.

Usually I don’t like to actually press it, I prefer touch to tap and 3 finger drag also (enabled thru accessibility)

quadcube The coolest thing is somebody make this Magic Trackpad also support Windows. 😊

Ah, the trackpad can’t be detected natively?
I didn’t try to tbh because my windows machine is work laptop, can’t install much on it so I wrote my own macOS keyboard and pointer relay app.

This way as long my lil GUI application stays front and active, it will capture all the keystrokes and pointer event and send it via BLE to the windows machine (wins laptop sees it as a generic BLE keyboard)

Way faster than any KVM stuff for switching between mac and windows
