Apple Magic Trackpad 2 (Wireless, Rechargable) - Space Gray

Amazon delivered this Trackpad next day. It came sealed and the unit is brand new. I was surprised that the unit was almost fully charged. Connecting it to my MPB indicated that it had an 89% charge. So, this unit should not be old stock. I took the easy way to connect and set up by using the USB/Lighting cable. The Trackpad paired to my MPB via Bluetooth without me doing anything. I did this because I wanted to charge the Trackpad anyway. There is one thing that Apple did not do well. The Trackpad connects via a Lightning connection and the other end is an USB-A. I had to get an adapter to connect to my MBP. Apple should have just furnished the Tracked with an USB-C to Lightning wire.There are so many discussions comparing the Magic Trackpad and the Magic Mouse. Some prefer one over the other. I like them both. Both of them could be connected to the MPB at the same time.This Magic Trackpad 2 works well with my MBP. There is no learning curve. There is no reason not to considered this if you have MPB a little away from you and you have a hard time of reaching it (e.g. connecting to an external display). I would get both the mouse and this trackpad.Authenticity IssueAfter writing this review, I noticed that a review that claimed that his Magic Trackpad 2 that was sent was not authentic.I was quite happy with the purchase as it was working very well. However, when I checked the box, I discovered that “Energy Veryfied” is printed at the back of the box. Veryfied is not a word. So, I thought it is misspelled. Maybe I receive a non-authentic Apple product.So, I starting the returning process sending this back to Amazon. Before I sent it back, I dropped by an Apple Store. I wanted to purchase another Magic Trackpad directly from Apple. I showed My Trackpad to the Apple Associate and he told me that my Magic Trackpad is fine. It is indeed an Apple Product. I showed him the misspelled words and he laughed. He said the word Veryfied is all over some of Apple’s products. Varyfied is probably the name of the company that made the product for Apple. He showed me the back of a Magic Trackpad 2 box from the store. Sure enough, it read “Energy Veryfied”. He checked my Magic Trackpad again, handed back to me and told me that I do not need to buy another Magic Trackpad. So, I am keeping mine and I am not sending it back to Amazon.The 2 images I uploaded were back of the boxes. One is my Magic Trackpad from Amazon and the other is from Apple Store. They both have the words “Energy Veryfied"Updated and revised 7/25/2011I was so concerned with the Authenticity of this Magic Trackpad that I did not really talked much about it except that it works just like the Trackpad on an Apple Laptop. After a few more days using it, I need to revise my statement. This Magic Trackpad works much better than the one on the MBP. The reason is that the location of the Trackpad on a laptop is at the center of laptop at the bottom of the keyboard.Some keyboards are split and have a space in the middle. This enables the hands opening up and not crowded in the middle. Locating the trackpad in the middle forces the hand reaching to the center. Not a comfortable position.Locating laptop trackpad at the bottom right would be better for right handed people as there would be no need to reach the right hand towards the center. The wrist could be in a straight position instead of cocked. However, locating it to the right would create a problem for left handed people. This Magic Trackpad could be placed anywhere. For right handed people, this would be to the right and away from the keyboard. When using this Magic Trackpad, the right hand and wrist would be in a more comfortable position. While this Magic Trackpad is not cheap but I think it is worth the money. I have better control with my wrist straight. Get it if you work with an apple laptop. Highly recommended.Authenticity Issue additional information 7/26/2021One thing I forgot to mention about the Authenticity Issue verification. There are web sites that supposed to check the serial numbers. I can tell you that this does not apply to Magic Trackpad 2. Apple does not track the serial numbers on peripherals. I uploaded a third picture of the Magic Trackpad 2 box with the serial numbers. This picture is the one with the price tag and was taken on the back of the box of a Magic Trackpad 2 at the Apple Store. This serial numbers on this cannot be verified. Go ahead and search and check this serial numbers. It appears that some reviewers might have been sending back authentic Magic Trackpad 2's unnecessary.

I picked up the original version of the Magic Trackpad about 10 years ago, and it wasn't long before I couldn't live without it. That model had some design flaws (e.g. the rubber feet popped out easily), but I loved everything else about it. I eventually replaced it with the new design, and it's very nearly perfect.The new model is the perfect size, giving plenty of space to perform long dragging gestures and multi-finger actions. It's very reactive and precise, exactly like all of the trackpads on Apple's laptops. It obviously looks really great, and surprisingly doesn't seem to yellow or show any other notable signs of age. Battery life is also really good, lasting for months on a single charge. Connection time is very fast, although you have to click once to initiate the connection, and it takes about a second before it's fully booted up.My one notable complaint is that it charges via Lightning cable. I don't have a recent iPhone (or one of the few iPads with a Lightning port), so it's the one and only device in my house that uses this cable. It's becoming increasingly likely Apple is going to drop Lightning and switch to USB-C, so there's probably never going to be a good reason to own more than one of this cable — and if anything ever happens to it, they may become harder to replace in the future.I'll also add a minor complaint that the glass is a bit fragile. I've actually gone through two of this model. A small object fell and landed on the top edge edge of the trackpad, leaving a small chip. Some time later, it fell a couple feet and landed on a hard floor, completely shattering the glass.Overall, this is easily one of the best products I've used. It does its job perfectly, and I would (and have) replace it with the same model if this one were lost or damaged. It may be expensive for a wireless trackpad, but it's worth it when you use it as much as I do.

I upgraded from a Magic Mouse (1st Gen) to the Magic Trackpad 2. OMG, it has sped up my workflow exponentially.This thing is amazingly simple to use and works right out of the box. Just plug it in, turn it on and you're done. It automatically connects via Bluetooth when unplugged and can stay charged up to a month, although I leave mine plugged in as it stays on my desk.If you're not used to Apple's trackpad gestures, take 5 minutes and watch the videos in your System Preferences. It will seriously take your productivity to a whole new level.Magic Mouse vs. Magic TrackpadThe Magic Mouse was wonderful, but it had a fatal flaw with pets in the office. One stray hair would drive the thing batty. It was also sometimes wonky depending on the table surface and ate batteries like candy (even rechargeables).Magic Trackpad 2 is rechargeable and has no optical eye, so I don't have to whip out the compressed air every time my cat walks across the desk. She does click stuff by stepping on it, though. Ornery cat!Using the trackpad is also easier on your wrist and hands for hours of long computing. I'm a web developer, so I can literally be on the computer 12 hours a day. The trackpad allows for more natural hand movements without having to grip a small object.About My SetupI use a Macbook Air connected to a 23" monitor along with an external wireless keyboard (Logitech K-750 Solar-Powered) and the trackpad. The accessories are connected to USB ports in the monitor, so I can quickly grab the Macbook and go.My days are spent in PhotoShop, Illustrator, Audition, various coding apps, Wordpress and Google G-Suite apps. Every one of these apps is way easier to use with the trackpad.Compared to other mouse-like accessories, the Magic Trackpad 2 seems a bit pricy. But, this device is totally different. The boosts to your comfort and productivity make it worth every penny.

If you love the Apple laptop trackpad then you will love this for your desk.It has all the same gestures and features that the regular laptop trackpads have.- classic Apple design and quality that one would expect.- battery lasts forever- can be used while charging- surface finish is pleasant to touch while using.- easy to clean from finger dirt with alcohol wipe- switch in the back provides easy connect and disconnect

No soy ni remotamente un fan de apple pero el trackpad 2 es sin duda el mejor gadget que he probado hasta el momento, la precisión es increíble el tamaño es enorme pero adecuado para cualquier trabajo, videgaming o navegación casual. Altamente recomendable!

I am able to use two fingers to amend changes in my trading platform where my mouse was unable to do.

Works beautifully out of the box on Linux (unlike Win10) as the driver is built into the kernel. Multitouch gestures require libinput-gestures, which comes with sensible defaults. Make sure to set MOZ_USE_XINPUT2=1 for smooth inertial scrolling in Firefox.Lots of room for gestures. This thing is the same size as my kindle paperwhite. An absolute joy to use.
