(I know I can use this on windoes machine, but I'm not paying 130$ for a fucking trackpad)

Aluminum doesn't sit well with the utilitarian design of my X220 :^)

a MAGIC trackpad

Why would you want a trackpad for a desktop PC when you can have a mouse or a trackball?

Bear in mind that Applefags are kind of forced to use the Magic Trackpad while their Magic Mouse is charging upside down.
>>
I have one of these. it's a meme, looks cool but is less functional than a mouse.

If you are developing phone apps it might come in handy for testing purposes.

>>53400048
just buy one and install the windows driver from bootcamp

I use it all the time when I'm out and about, but it re-zeroing all the time can get a bit annoying

>>53400457

I'm using a mouse right now, and t b h i don't have a good argument for wanting one, but i just do

Just use this instead. Using a trackpad on a desktop is non-sense, you are essentially engaging your entire arm to move a mouse cursor.
>>
>>53400568
It's logitech. They make almost anything you can think of.
>>
>>53400572
>re-zeroing
you don't even know what a trackpoint is, do you?
>>
>>53400711

re-callibrate, re-adjusting zero position or whatever have you, when the cursor moves on it's own for a bit when you haven't taken off the finger from trackpoint
>>
>>53400695
Everything but non-intrusive and actually helpful software. Fucking hate having to install logitech setpoint or whatever on my laptop just to change the sensitivity of a wireless mouse, and ow yeah it makes windows detect 2 extra keyboards, and why does it need to startup when the computer boots up?
>>
>>53400048
I have a Dell TP713 and it works pretty well, especially for $12.
>>
>>53400872
I came here to post this

Why would you voluntarily use a track pad? Just why?
>>
>>53400457
It's really comfy. I use it on my desktop computer when I'm not playing games.

It's comfy af

lol what

I've been looking myself. From what I can find, your best bet is to buy a used Magic Trackpad on ebay. All the Windows-specific are mediocre and have little to no customization.

>>53400457
RSI. Trackballs are not good for my thumbs.
>>
>>53400510

that thing is heavy as fuck relative to its size
>>
Trackpads are god tier when fapping and using your left hand to control your computer with your right hand never letting go of your dick.
>>
>>53405818
So you're going to be holding it in your hands the whole time?
>>
OP you can cop the previous model for like $40, it's still pretty damn good.

It uses batteries which might be a deal breaker for some.
>>
>>53405855
If only it came in black...
>>
>>53405825
>move mouse closer to your left hand
problem solved
>>
>>53405880
senpai, touchpad is a lot easier if you can't do shit with your left hand.

MS Wedge.

are you disabled?

I might as well be when I'm fapping son.
>>
>>53400048
get a bamboo touch, theyre like 20 bucks or so.
>>
>>53406019
I have one. The drivers are not nearly as good as a regular touchpad. The touch features was just added after the fact.
>>
>>53400503
Have you ever actually tried that? The bootcamp drivers for it are shit, as are all bootcamp drivers. If you have a mac, the magic trackpad is incredible, but half of that is because of the tight gesture integration with OS X. I doubt even a high end alternative would be anywhere as satisfying.
