Makes we wish for a left side number pad. See the lead photo up top for a visual that you’ll agree made a better photo. For all you lefties out there, you get a perfectly centered experience with trackpad to the left and number pad to the right. The solution is to center the typing keys with your monitor, but that does put the trackpad way out to the right. Second As a right hander, if I optically and physically center the MagicBridge in front of my workstation, I am definitely typing off to my left enough that I start to feel a little twisted. Here you can see that flex in action just due to the weight of the trackpad as I lift it off the desk slightly. Not a big deal, but if they had two more of those nubs on each side where the end of the keyboard sits it would help a good bit. First, when couch surfing if you center the keyboard over your knees, the trackpad kinda dangles out over the side and gets a little bouncy. There are really only two things to nitpick and both are related to centering the keyboard. Actually writing this using that trick right now. It’s not perfect, but I’ll get it figured out eventually. I went into my accessibility settings and messed around with keyboard controls for zoom settings so that after reclining and putting my feet up I can hit Option/Command/+ to zoom in and keep working. When balanced on your lap, it’s nice to have the trackpad right there instead of trying to rig up some lap board or find a flat spot on the sofa for a mouse to work. I just kinda move it from one to the next as needed and everything gets topped off. Semi-unrelated, but I was able to pop some magnetic lightning connectors in allowing me to quickly charge the keyboard or trackpad with the same magnetic cable I use for a few different devices on my desk. All in all the MagicBridge just keeps them connected, working as a single unit.Īll the on/off switches and charging ports are easily accessible from the back so there’s no real change in how that works. The rubber feet keep it from moving around unnecessarily and the walls of the MagicBridge barely rise above the device surfaces so they never feel in the way. That doesn’t sound like a big deal, and maybe it isn’t, but it looks good and works well for me. With my controls clicked into the MagicBridge, it’s right there in an always-the-same geometry, no-look kind of way. I recently switched out to a compact mechanical keyboard and mouse, but ended up missing the connected number pad and that laptop to desktop consistency, so coming back to this was a welcome change. They’ve always worked well for me and have had a consistent feel to those built into the MacBook Pro making it really easy to go back and forth. I’ve used the Magic Keyboard and Magic Trackpads since they were originally launched. That’s it! Now you can use your setup like you did before, but move it on your desktop in a single go and never have to waste any time micro-adjusting alignment. Repeat the process with the trackpad again rear first so you’re not dragging that on/off switch against the rear wall. You can gently pry the front wall outward to help as it can be a little stiff, especially towards the corners. While keeping the rear of the keyboard in place, push down on the front edge to snap it past the front nubs. Start with the keyboard, and angle the rear edge into place, tucking it under the two nubs.
