Wired Trackpad for Windows, Keyboard Track Pad with Multi-Touch Surface Smooth Slim USB C High Precision Computer Touch Pad for Win 7/8/10/11, Silver

Replaced my OEM trackpad with this for my MacBook Air, and it performed with simply plugging it in to the computer. Came with USB and USBC cables. Functions as expected, for a great price.

At first the touchpad is barely responsive; it takes a few seconds. It also randomly will not respond. The cord is long; im sure its helpful depending on what you are using this for. The touchpad has small legs in each corner to minimize how much it moves when you use this. For an idea on size- It is larger than the typical size of a laptop touchpad.

I'm sure many people have searched for a trackpad that comes close to being as good as the one Apple manufactures (both the one built into the MacBooks as well as the stand-alone Magic Trackpad). The Tacti Trix wired trackpad won't meet your expectations if you are using a Mac, but it certainly will beat all expectations if you are using a Windows 11 PC.The Trackpad Hardware:This trackpad seems to be well-made. The glass surface feels almost as good as the Magic Trackpad. It's probably very difficult to mimic Apple's trackpads, so I see why some things are the way they are. The Tacti Trix trackpad is also significantly smaller than Apple's Magic Trackpad at 6.5 inches for this trackpad vs. 7.5 inches for the Magic Trackpad. Each trackpad was measured diagonally (just like you do for TVs and monitors). Still, the Tacti Trix trackpad is considerably larger than any laptop trackpad. This trackpad also incorporates a physical left and right mouse click area in the bottom corners - bottom left corner for a left-click and bottom right corner for a right-click.Testing on MacOS:I used my Apple 2022 Studio M1 Max computer and the latest MacOS Sequoia 15.5 operating system. I also have Apple's Magic Trackpad that I will use for comparison. Not all gestures work as they do when using Apple trackpads. There are far too many quirks and things that just don't work and the User Manual does attempt to warn you, AFTER you have already purchased this product. I'll mention a couple of the quirks that really bother me.If I want to select a region of text using any Apple trackpad, I can position the text cursor in front of of the first letter, press down on the trackpad, then swipe my finger across until I have encompassed the entire area of text that I want to copy. On the Tacti Trix trackpad, I press and hold the left mouse button bottom left corner of the trackpad, then attempt to drag that finger across the text. This results in text cursor movement along with a flickering of some partially selected text. The end result, unfortunately, none of the text is selected. Thankfully there is a workaround for this quirk. I can move the text cursor to the beginning of the text, then press the shift key on my keyboard, then move my pointer to the end of the region of text I want to select, then tap the trackpad, which results in the being selected. It's a bit difficult getting used to this method and it constantly reminds me that I am not using a trackpad that works just like Apple's hardware.When I click the bottom right corner of the trackpad, it is supposed to generate a right mouse button click. Unfortunately, it does not. It seems to generate a left mouse click instead, in spite of what the User Manual says. Matter of fact, it seems the whole bottom of the trackpad is one very large left mouse button. The User Manual clearly shows that there is a rather large left mouse button area starting at the bottom left corner, then a gap in the middle, then a much smaller right mouse button in the bottom right corner. The workaround for this quirk is to disconnect the trackpad then plug the USB C cable back in. Now I can generate a right mouse button click by tapping two fingers on the trackpad. Unfortunately, the trackpad did not continue working correctly for long, and I was back to not being able to generate a right mouse button click. I had to use this unsatisfactory workaround several times and I have no idea why this trackpad decides to no longer generate a right mouse button click. So to get around this, you have to use the command key and mouse click to view a context menu.I'm sorry, but in order to protect my sanity, I give up. This trackpad is too buggy and filled with quirks to ever recommend it for Mac users.Testing on Windows 11:I used my Minis Forum UM870 Slim Ryzen 8745H PC running the latest Windows 11 24H2 (with 2025 cumulative update) operating system. This will be a very short paragraph because, this trackpad worked like it is supposed to. All multi-touch gestures along with both left and right button mouse clicks worked. I am quite satisfied with its performance under Windows 11.My Final Thoughts and Recommendations:If you are using a Mac computer I would forget buying anything other than the more expensive Apple Magic Trackpad. Your wallet may not like that, but your sanity will. If you will be using this trackpad on a Windows 11 PC, then you have a winner here. It's a must buy! This would have been a 5-star review if this trackpad worked as well on the Mac as it does on a Windows PC.

Since receiving this trackpad and plugging it in, I have had fantastic results from it. It is comfortable to use and functions exactly as a trackpad on a laptop would. I have kept mine on my desk, plugged in next to my gaming mouse. I find that for anything other than specific gaming, I tend to use the trackpad for easy scrolling.Construction is solid, and the surface of this device feels smooth. The base helps it not slip and slide with the pressure of using it.This connects to your pc or Mac via either a USB-C cable or through a standard USB plug into a USB-C.For the cost of this device, if you want to use a trackpad that you don't have to worry about disconnecting from you in the middle of use, this is a fantastic deal.

I originally bought the Tacti Trix Wired Trackpad hoping to use it with my iPad, but unfortunately, it wasn’t compatible with my particular model. That said, I plugged it into my MacBook and it instantly became a game-changer.The touch surface is incredibly smooth and responsive, and the multi-touch gestures work flawlessly. It feels very similar to the built-in MacBook trackpad—if not better in some ways because of the slim profile and added precision. Setup was plug-and-play with USB-C, no drivers or weird settings to adjust.I also really appreciate the solid build quality and how sleek it looks on my desk. It’s minimal, matches the silver aesthetic, and doesn’t take up much space.While I do wish it worked with my iPad, it’s been a perfect addition to my MacBook setup. Highly recommend if you’re a Mac user looking for a precise and stylish external trackpad!
