Apple Magic Trackpad

Best trackpad for gesture-based navigation and macOS integration

4.6 / 5

What is Apple Magic Trackpad?

The Apple Magic Trackpad brings the exceptional trackpad experience of MacBooks to your desk. The large Force Touch surface (6.3" x 4.5") provides ample space for multi-touch gestures, and the edge-to-edge glass feels premium and precise. macOS gestures are where the Magic Trackpad shines - swipe between desktops, invoke Mission Control, preview files with Force Click, and navigate with pinch-to-zoom. For developers who've mastered the MacBook trackpad, having the same experience at their desk is transformative. The trackpad connects via Lightning cable or Bluetooth and charges in about 2 hours for approximately a month of use. It pairs perfectly with a mechanical keyboard, giving you the best of both worlds: superior typing and superior navigation.
