    Magic Trackpad (2021) loose power button

    I don't know if I should worry or not but the power button* on my new Magic Trackpad (2021) is a little loose compare to my new Magic Keyboard with TouchID which is very firm (doesn't move or wiggle the slightest when touching it). I mean it doesn't impact its function but I just wonder if it...

    2021 wireless keyboard and trackpad far worse than 2015

    For years I used the Apple wireless keyboard and trackpad with my 2015 MBP (15" and 13") in clamshell mode. These I think were first gen but not sure - they were what Apple was selling in 2015. Now I have had several months with a 2021 MBP 14 Max with the current wireless keyboard (non finger...

    Magic Trackpad 2 - Force Touch is gone

    I'm using Magic Trackpad 2 with MacBook Pro 13 late 2011 and macOS 10.13.6. Few weeks ago Magic Trackpad get stuck in pressed position, like it was pressed all the way down, and works like Force Touch is disabled. Another problem is the increased battery usage. Usually it lasted about 2 weeks...

    iMac suddenly lagging for short periods of time, but very frequently. How can I diagnose the issue?

    2019 iMac 5K on 10.15.7. This started within the last week. I notice it primarily when my cursor starts to lag around the screen. Can't be an issue with the mouse because it happens with my trackpad as well (these are the official Magic Mouse/Trackpad). I've tried watching the Activity Monitor...

    Magic Trackpad(force touch) battery replacement

    Quick question, I need the battery to my magic trackpad replaced and I plan to have it done by Apple. They charge $30 to do it, but my question is: Do they actually replace the battery or do they replace the keyboard with a new or refurbished unit?

    Magic Trackpad or MX Master 2S?

    Hi guys, I'm finally done with the Magic Mouse, and I'm looking for a replacement. I had used USB mouses with scroll wheels, but the MM2 was very good for me when I bought it: totally silent, easy to switch on/off and carry in a bag, no cables, rarely had to charge it, and zero configuration...

    Other An iPhone made out of the Magic Trackpad's material?

    I was holding the second gen Magic Trackpad that I use with the iMac and realised that apple never used that white, matte finish on any other products that I know of, It doesn't scratch as easily as the glossy glass on the mouse and it has a very nice feel to it. Any ideas of why they never used it?

    External Keyboard & Trackpad/Mouse Needed—6 Potential Setups, What's the Best?

    I'm a long-time MBP 15" user who wants to work less with the notebook itself but more with an external keyboard and screen. One thing I realize is that I am way slower with the combination external keyboard and a dirt-cheap mouse. Before I could move both hands from my internal keyboard to the...
