Apple Trackpad - it's almost magical

I just an app,e Trackpad as a prezzie from the missus. It's nice to have multi-touch gestures for my Mac Pro just like the laptops.

yup, apple got this one right, unlike the magic mouse which was awkward to use because it was such a funny shape. Apple don't have a great track record when creating mice but the trackpad is a winner.

Agree with the Magic Mouse, it is complete w@nk! For man hands it was too small and the novelty of touch scrolling wore off quickly for me. Not used the Trackpad yet, wondering how good it will be for operating a media centre remotely... none of the wireless keyboards (at a decent price) tick the boxes for me, maybe I could use it as a mouse and have an on screen keyboard...

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

Used one and they are a pleasure to use :)

Don't agree with the comment about the magic mouse but that's my opinion.

Only thing i don't like about the magic mouse & wireless keyboard is the batteries seem to need changing once a month  :angry: need to buy some rechargables really  :cool:

I love using the trackpad on my MacBook Pro, although when doing design I need to use a proper mouse for more accuracy. I am a big fan of the Magic Mouse, I think it works just as well in all honesty.
