In this space provides all kind of updates like new developments or critical issues.

Know issues are listed here: General issues, Magic Keyboards, Magic Mouse, Magic Trackpads.

2019 has been another great year for the Magic Utilities. New features have been added and lots of little things got fine tuned.

For 2020 we plan to change the way the app communicates with the driver because on a few computers are still occasionally hiccups. More important, we'll focus on Windows 10 only and start using the new APIs for smoother scrolling, pinch zoom and improved keyboard functions.

We hope you had Magic Christmas and wish you all the very best for 2020.

THANK YOU for your ongoing support.

Version 3.0.8.8 has been released. This is a maintainance release. It fixes some issues and adds a clear key config option.

These days there is a lot about ergonomics like standing desks (actually not that healthy without a treadmill) or vertical mice, which are in fact quite nice. So why not a vertical trackpad? Searching the web gives you only this from 2014.

Let's do it yourself, a bit of plywood, some nails and glue are enough. 

Vertical Magic Trackpads

Version 3.0.8.0 re-enabled the Driver > Reinstall driver menu and adds Reinstall driver on wake up..This should fix the wake up issue a few users reported.

As with all new feature releases (3.0.7.4), there are usually some edge cases which can't be foreseen. Version 3.0.7.9 is another maintenance release which fixes all new and known recession issues and adds support for Swiss German keyboard layout.
