Windows 10 - 20H2 still breaks Bluetooth
Same as with Windows 10 version 2004 (May 2020 update), the latest Windows 10 20H2 (October 2020 update) still has the same bug. On some older Apple MacBooks (up to model year 2017) Bluetooth doesn't work.

Seasons Greetings 2019
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 released
Version 3.0.8.8 has been released. This is a maintainance release. It fixes some issues and adds a clear key config option.
The vertical Magic Trackpad
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.
