Apple Magic Trackpad Gestures

Apple Magic Trackpad.

The first Multi-Touch Trackpad designed to work with your Mac desktop computer, the Apple Magic Trackpad lets your fingers do the clicking, scrolling, and swiping.

The Apple Magic uses the same Multi-Touch technology found on the MacBook Pro, giving you a whole new way to control and interact with what’s on your screen.

Swiping through pages online feels just like flipping through pages in a book or magazine.

Inertial scrolling makes moving up and down a page more natural than ever.

And users can press down anywhere on the Multi-Touch surface to physically click or double-click on an item – no clumsy buttons involved.
