NOTE: SCROLLING AND GESTURES ONLY WORKS ON MAC 15.X SEQUOIA. With that said, it is incredible. I firmly believe the best way to use MacOS is by utilizing gestures and Spaces/Mission Control/ App Expose. That can only happen with the trackpad. I feel very confident in my clicks, scrolls, and gestures and I have only just begun using the trackpad. It feels very natural! The Haptic feedback is a little higher pitched than the MacBook Pro trackpad, but feels just as robust and clicky.

The trackpad may not be for everyone, but for those who are familiar with its functionality, it’s incredibly convenient. It brings the seamless, intuitive experience that makes MacBooks so great, but on a larger scale. Once you understand how to navigate it, the trackpad offers precise control and smooth gestures that make tasks like scrolling, selecting, and multitasking a breeze. It’s perfect for those who appreciate the efficiency of Apple’s design and want to extend that experience to a bigger workspace. While it might take some getting used to for new users, it’s an excellent feature for those who value precision and fluidity in their interactions.

very premium accessory, i love how tactile it is and it's much more comfortable than the magic mouse. the gestures you can do on the trackpad are satisfying and it feels very smooth. It doesn't take up too much space on your desk, it's small and the device itself is thin, although i feel the price is a little too high, i love this thing

I have always loved the MacBook trackpad, but decided to try out the magic mouse when I got started using an external monitor. Needless to say, I return it and got the trackpad and its been perfect! I place it below my keyboard like a MacBook’s placement and its comfy for me. I actually added a paper strip to make both my keyboard and trackpad level. The only thing I noticed is that it takes a little more force to click than a MacBook trackpad, but ive gotten used to it.

It's been so nice to have a Magic Trackpad with my new iMac desktop. I've been so used to using one on my MacBook that I wanted it in addition to the mouse. I highly recommend having one!

This was replacing a 7 year old trackpad that had been heavily used and the difference is INSANE!
Its significantly more sensitive and the battery lasts forever between charges.

It works totally as expected. It’s just like the trackpad on my MacBook Air! Portable, seamless integration and long battery life.

In the past whenever I got a new laptop one of the first things I would get is a mouse to use instead of that (most times) dreadful built in trackpad. When I bought my Mac Mini desktop I happened across this Magic Trackpad and decided to try it. Wow! I love it and MUCH prefer using it now to any mouse. Sometimes I may want to lean back in my chair and use it from my lap - something that is a little hard to do with a mouse - this thing is perfect for that. The size, sensitivity and general feel of it are just outstanding. You can do a one or two finger click (simulating the left or right click of a mouse) anywhere on it and the generated click feedback is perfect. Use two fingers to scroll, nice. Multi touch zoom works just like your ipad or phone, perfect! It is super easy to set up. Just plug it in to your Mac with usb c and it connects automatically. It is a keeper for sure. Yes 5 stars!

Totally worth it! Fast, responsive, battery lasts a long time and I never turn it off. Love how it has a generous footprint. And it looks very sleek and elegant.

I purchased the Apple magic trackpad for my Apple Studio M4 Max. This trackpad has the USB C style connector. This is a nice product and easy to set up and use. The battery life is long. I have charged it once when I set it up and have used it for a few days and it is still at 97% charge.

I’ve been using the Apple Magic Trackpad 3 for a few weeks now, and I’m really impressed. The build quality feels premium, and the large surface makes gestures super smooth and easy. Battery life is great, and it pairs instantly with my Mac. Definitely worth it for a clean, wireless setup.

Works great. It's larger and I don't have to be using the MacBook's trackpad. Pairs well with a wireless keyboard so you can lounge while working.

If you’re already in the Apple ecosystem, the Magic Trackpad is a no-brainer. It feels premium, the glass surface is smooth, and the gestures make multitasking seamless — especially on macOS. Whether I’m swiping between desktops or using pinch-to-zoom in creative apps, it’s extremely responsive. Battery life is also insane — I’ve gone weeks without charging.
I actually prefer this over a traditional mouse for editing, browsing, and even general use. It pairs instantly with my MacBook Pro and wakes up immediately from sleep. Yes, it’s a bit pricey, but once you use it, you’ll understand why. If you’re debating between a mouse and this — go with the trackpad if you want a fluid, touch-driven experience.
Highly recommend for anyone who wants the full macOS gesture experience on a larger screen!

This Magic Trackpad is absolutely flawless. The build quality feels premium, the matte black finish looks sleek, and the multi-touch surface is extremely responsive. It pairs instantly with my Mac and works seamlessly with all gestures. The battery life is excellent, and the USB-C connection makes charging quick and easy. Perfect for productivity, photo editing, and everyday use. Highly recommended!

I definitely love the trackpad over the regular mouse. The entire pad is the mouse which means I can click anywhere on it. Also better for my hands as it’s not always in the cramped position.
