Trackpad For Mac Os X

Trackpad gestures

  • Basically, trackpads on Mac OS are better implemented because Apple focuses a lot on how the OS responds to scrolling and gestures and stuff. Windows has these things, but doesn’t really focus on the motion. The motion is what makes it feel smooth. Apple does intensive work to make sure the motion is fantastic. Microsoft does not.
  • Trackpad Magic 1.51 for Mac is available as a free download on our application library. Our antivirus check shows that this Mac download is malware free. The most popular versions among the program users are 1.5, 1.4 and 1.3.

I am, currently, using the trackpad on OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard and haven't tested this yet on OS X 10.9 Mavericks. With that stated, I am not sure if this trackpad has a fine enough resolution to use if you a designer that uses illustration, painting programs or Photoshop where fine detail work and accuracy on screen is needed.

For more information about these gestures, choose Apple menu  > System Preferences, then click Trackpad. You can turn a gesture off, change the type of gesture, and learn which gestures work with your Mac.

Trackpad gestures require a Magic Trackpad or built-in Multi-Touch trackpad. If your trackpad supports Force Touch, you can also Force click and get haptic feedback.
