#magictrackpad

Does anyone know if #Apple's #MagicTrackpad, the latest Type-C version, works perfectly on #Linux?

The prior version, which has a Lightning port, does work perfectly on Linux out of the box - even when running on an LTS kernel.

You'd think just a change of port wouldn't affect its usability, and I'm not sure if that might actually be the case on Linux, but on Apple's own platforms at least - you're forced to update to the latest version of #macOS, #iOS, and #iPadOS for the trackpad to fully work, multi-touch/gestures and all.

Pretty tempted to sell off mine, the black edition, sometime just so I could replace it with the Type-C version (also in black).

I am currently in the second week of exclusively utilizing my Magic Trackpad instead of a mouse.

I have implemented several custom gestures in BetterTouchTool to enhance my productivity, and I can confidently say that I have no intention of reverting to a mouse in the future.

ENGINEERS: STOP COPYING ALL THE BAD SHITE THAT #APPLE DOES!!!

  • THIS LAMP has less than 0 excuses to have the #USB connector on the bottom!

Unlike the shitty #MagicMouse it doesn't take just a few mins to charge for days of runtime and unlike the #LaggyMouse by Apple it's not some unergonomically THINN piece of glass and metal that looks like some industrial designers interpretation of #squid #sushi but the #rice is being replaced by a polished Hematite

  • And yes, unlike the #MagicTrackpad, the Magic #Mouse is so laggy, you can literally see it without going crosseye, which is absurd cuz the Magic #Trackpad is super crisp and fast.

IMHO it should be illegal to put #ports in a position where they prevent the use of a device whilst charging!

  • Espechally on something like a #lamp that unlike an RC model car has no excuse for choosing between use and charge...

Hohe Softwareanforderungen für neues Mac USB-C-Zubehör
Apple hat kürzlich drei neue Mac-Modelle vorgestellt – den iMac mit M4-Chip, das MacBook Pro M4 sowie einen Mac mini, ebenfalls mit M4. Passend zur Umstellung auf USB-C brachte Apple aktualisiertes Zubehör auf den Markt. Die M

@rvdp @dubroy @nikitonsky it's about Apple choosing to keep the charging port on their "new" and "redesigned" Magic Mouse (with it's only magic being that it's the laggiest mouse @fuchsiii ever owned!) at the bottom which makes it impossible to use and charge at the same time, because "think different" means Apple refuses to acknowledge when things other do are good and when they do it differently it's not always an improvement!

  • Funnily, the Magic Trackpad doesn't lag at all and despite being S L I M M E R they still fit the charging port at the rear WHERE IT BELONGS - FFS!

@frumble gibt mehrere Gründe:

Wenn überhaupt würd' ich nen #Unicomp #Performa, #ModelM13 oder nen #TexShinobi kaufen weil #Lenovo hat die kabelgebundene Version des "Compact Keyboard with UltraNav" eingestampft und durch eine 3x so teure dahtlos-only - Variante ersetzt die keinen Vorteil gegenüber der vorherigen hat.

@serichards I can’t say that I’ve experienced that, or at least not often enough to notice it. I do find that the keyboard prefers to connect first, rather than the trackpad, so the space bar is my usual wake up method.

I guess they do wear out eventually. I forget how old mine is, but I’m going to guess about five years old.

I’m also using Sonoma, and I travel with the trackpad from time to time.

@msh @mathowie That being said, I'm in awe amidst #Apple's ability to f**k up designs so badly at the same time other stuff is just brilliant.

for example the #MagicTrackpad is super nice and has no notiveable #lag but then the #MagicMouse2 can't be charged whilst in use, has worse ergonomy, doesn't have replaceable batteries and lags so hard that it makes @fuchsiii ragequit with visible #lagging....

AFAIK both are #Bluetooth and both use the same Chips from Apple...

Is it normal for the Magic Keyboard and Trackpad to give their first warning of low battery when it's almost dead, or are mine defective? I got my very first warning about the keyboard battery probably 3 hours ago, and just now it completely died. Happens with the trackpad too (keyboard is about 1 year old, trackpad a bit older). #Apple #MagicKeyboard #MagicTrackpad
