I use a Logitech MX Master with the horizontal scroll wheel and use it for going backwards...

    KVM - Here's a "problem" I don't think is solve-able

    Hey all! I have a pc and a mac pro and I use both for my work. I have an ergonomic setup with a KVM switch that all works quite well apart from one detail.

    Resolved Was there a phantom MacBook Pro being used for the Trackpad gesture video clips in Snow Leopard?

    I don’t know of a MacBook Pro with a trackpad that large with a button that thin. The first attached clip comes from the 10.6.8 version of Trackpad prefPane, but several more like this can be found in the 10.5.8 version of the same (like the second clip). I’m speculating when I ask whether...

    Keyboard and touchpad protection Macbooks?

    Hi, I'm wondering if any of you use those thin transparent protection sheets for the touchpad and keyboard of your MacBooks. If you do use them, are they any good and do they make it more difficult to type / use the trackpad? The only other Macbook I had was from 2007 and the trackpad on that...
