Apple Magic Trackpad Wireless (Accessories)

Customer Review

I related so far, the Magic Mouse on a Macmini. Have been satisfied, I must confess that it was a bit of playfulness that made me order the trackpad. If it does not work out, it gets just returned or I use mouse and trackpad together, so I thought about. But now I no longer need the mouse. The trackpad blends beautifully on my Apple keyboard to because size and design fit together. Setting is right next to it, watch out! Then looks like a keyboard, optical ever very nice. The area is significantly greater than in a laptop. The hand can be easily supported on the bottom right front of the trackpad on the desk, too, is a pleasant advantage over a laptop, where the hand must "float" always somehow above the pad. It then uses the trackpad after getting intuitively, not necessarily used the index finger for the mouse, I often take the middle finger, scroll left / right and up / down with two fingers, making the double-through "tapping" with two fingers , am moving forward and backward when Googling with three fingers by "right / left Wipe" etc. I have taken the basic settings for the trackpad, they appear sensible to me, with one exception: This basic attitude has described as "one-finger click" the mechanical click of the trackpad set what the bottom right and left two "buttons" located under the machine. This click is quite usable, but has the disadvantage that for a "light" Click consciously have to use the bottom of the trackpad, above you have to push a bit more, which contradicts the basic idea of ​​this product in my opinion. But elegant solution is anyway to choose the setting "click by tapping". Since then reaches the short "Tap" with a finger. My fear that accidentally a "Tap" is registered with the placement of the finger for the purpose of moving the mouse pointer was not fulfilled. Now at this moment I use the part, and I think after two days of use, no longer after this, it is taken for granted. Why only years I dragged this ridiculous plastic part on the desk? (Now the punch line, for all Trekkies: How fascinated I was when about twenty years ago one with light, wiping movements saw use on the new Enterprise Data, Geordi and Picard the computer of the ship, tastenlos And now, finally.. ..)

A limitation is to say that the very important for some users precise controlling the mouse here depends on a certain virtuosity of the index / middle finger. Briefly, in graphic applications etc. The mouse will not die, because as a trackpad is not suitable for all. Ever have to have "finger play" fun. If this is the case, the operator will, of course, to a lightweight, quiet (!) Pleasure. Despite the restriction so I give the product five points, because it corresponds to my own personal needs, but ultimately, these are a subjective evaluation. Anyone who doubts personally for themselves as to the suitability, should better test it first.
