Apple - Magic Trackpad 2 - Silver

My mouse was getting really old and starting to work poorly even with regular cleaning, so I was in the market for a new one. As I am a Mac user, I went to the Apple site to see if they had anything, and I happened upon the Apple Magic Trackpad 2. I frequently have to use a computer at work, so I was also having some repetitive stress issues, and the idea of not having to grip a mouse appealed to me. All the same, I was apprehensive about moving away from a mouse for two reasons: 1) I wasn't sure I could easily perform all the same functions (click and drag, for example) without any buttons; and 2) I was worried the new trackpad might not be compatible with my older iMac (early 2009). Happily, I can report that neither of these things proved to be a problem. The trackpad allows one to perform all the actions you would do with a mouse by letting you press down to simulate a click. Pressing with two fingers is a right-click. Even clicking and dragging is easy to do using two fingers. Additionally, I have had no issues with connectivity with my iMac, and so far the battery seems to have a long life. I have only had to charge it (by connecting it to the computer with a USB cable) about once every two weeks. All in all, it was a great purchase and well worth the price. I have even experienced less discomfort in my wrists. I will most likely buy another trackpad rather than a mouse when this one dies.

It took a little getting used to. But I quickly got it down, and the shortcuts, different swipes, clicks, etc. Now, I seldom use my mouse, only when I want to highlight and copy/paste. When I use a non-Apple trackpad, I am very frustrated as I am used to the capability of the apple. And the clicking capability of the new pad is worth the extra money. As for the rechargebility, nice, but batteries lasted a long time in old version, so not a big deal. All in all, one more well thought out and designed Apple accessory.

I love the trackpad on my MacPro, when I purchased the apple desktop I tried using the mouse. I felt like a beginner. Needless to say I love this product! Plug and play, easy to use.

After being a PC user for over 20 years, I made the switch to Mac about a month ago. This touchpad completes my Mac setup. Setup was a breeze. You can set the sensitivity, speed and what gestures you want to use. Some have customizable options. Your fingers simply glide over the surface and it's easy to navigate with. It's very smooth and has a great tactile feeling/click. The gestures are wonderful shortcuts and no more using the scroll wheel or back/forward buttons. A very solid and well made product with a good weight to it. It's an amazing little device that is fun to use and a pleasure to work with. It's just easy!

If you have an iMac or Macbook, this is a must have. I use my computer daily for work and this trackpad is the best. The gestures are extra helpful once you get the hang of them.

I had been using the battery operated trackpad for years and I liked it but the frequent loss of power due to battery depletion was a bit annoying. Trackpad 2 is rechargeable and has a greater lifespan. I also like the responsiveness of this gadget and greater variety of touches.

This one is rechargeable and the old one is wired, which would be perfect for a MacBook user wanting a trackpad. As a Mac Pro user, it doesn't make much of an impact. Overall the trackpad is a nice product; I like the new look and finish. 3.5 stars because of price.

I love my Magic Trackpad 2. It makes using my iMac so much more efficient. Although I have the Magic Mouse, I use the track pad the majority of the time. It just feels like a natural extension of the keyboard. So happy I decided to make the purchase.
