Apple Magic Trackpad for Windows

[stanlawj]

I'm using Lenovo Yogabook 9i with Apple Magic Trackpad 2, instead of a mouse.
The laptop doesn't have any trackpad.

It's awesome. More Windows user should know about how great the giant-sized Apple Magic Trackpad is: spacious, can position it anywhere for a comfortable arm position, no need to worry about mousepad surface.



The most useful part of the trackpad is the 3-finger and 4-finger gestures.
This one seems the best for myself:

Advanced Gestures
3-fingers
Tap: Left Win key
Swipe Up: Switch Apps
Swipe Down: Left Win key + Down arrow key
Swipe Left: Forward Navigation (works better than using 2-fingers)
Swipe Right: Backward Navigation

4-fingers
Tap: Notification centre
Swipe Up: Task view
Swipe Down: Show desktop
Swipe Left: Switch desktop
Swipe Right: Switch desktop

The mouse is still indispensable, but the trackpad gives more options beyond the mouse.

Issues: after waking computer from sleep, the trackpad sensitivity seems to be reduced, or basically doesn't feel original. Turning off the trackpad and then back on a short while later, seems to reset the trackpad sensitivity.

Unfortunately, there is a built-in cursor acceleration that you can't turn off. So it will be challenging to draw 1:1. If your strokes change in speed, the cursor will move at different accelerations. As a result, you have to move very very slowly over large area to get a reasonable signature.

So it is cheaper to buy a dumb wired writing tablet (<$50) just to sign.
