Would I advise Windows 10 owners to buy such a trackpad? Rather yes than no. The best option is to use Hackintosh, but even on Windows 10 using additional drivers you can get pleasant emotions from the trackpad. Let's discuss using Apple's Magic Trackpad 2 in.

- The Apple magic trackpads are best if you have a Mac - you might try the magic mouse if you are in an Apple store but I prefer the trackpads. Also, if you are on Yosemite at work the trackpad 2 with force touch is not yet supported.
- Apple’s Apple Magic Trackpad is pretty expensive for an unnecessary peripheral, but it works as advertised and can even make general desktop activity a little easier than a mouse at times.

FAQs
Apple Magic Trackpad 2 Alternative
Will this work with X device?
The tré bluetooth keyboard and trackpad tray just works with Apple Magic Keyboards and Trackpad 2 Tray for now, and connectivity is dependent on compatibility with those devices. The Apple Magic Keyboards work as a bluetooth keyboard with many models of computer, mobile, or tablet. Some features are limited to iOS and MacOS. Magic Trackpad 2 works on both Mac and other desktop operating systems as an alternative to a mouse. Some features only work with MacOS. Contact us if you have any questions. [email protected]

Can I charge the devices while they’re in the tray?
In a word, no, but to the credit of the amazing designers, developers and engineers at Apple, the batteries in the Magic Keyboard and Trackpad have an extremely long life. In our experience, with heavy daily use the keyboard’s charge will last a few months, and the trackpad several weeks. So charging happens so rarely it’s rarely a functional concern. To keep the design of the tré Magic Keyboard and Trackpad 2 Tray as minimal and elegant as we could we haven’t extended the thicknesses to accommodate charging cord access while they’re in the tray. We recommend pulling the devices out of the tray and charging them overnight after they get below 10%.

Do you make this out of wood/bamboo? Why foam PVC?
We don’t, and believe us we tried. The challenges with using natural material like wood or bamboo is that they are not stable when machined to such a minimal profile, and they expand, contract, and warp depending on moisture and temperature in a given environment. Foam PVC is a stable, lightweight, and durable material that can be worked and finished just like wood. We found that with the current method of production this produces the highest quality we can get the tré Magic Keyboard and Trackpad 2 Tray to.

How do the trackpad and keyboard stay in the tray?
The tré Magic Keyboard and Trackpad 2 Tray is designed to hold the devices in place snugly without clips or latches. To get the devices in place just slide one edge in the pocket and give the device a little tap to get it in place. The tray is designed with a little groove to easily pull the devices back out.

Will my palms interfere with the device or errantly click the trackpad while working?
In short, yes. If you use ‘tap to click’ to click on an object with a soft touch without actually depressing the trackpad button then we have seen errant inputs from the palms while typing. We have created a silicone bumper that helps with this issue. See our store to order or contact us at [email protected]
