Any decent competitors to the Apple Magic Trackpad?
« on: Sat, 23 April 2011, 06:05:45 »
I must say that I'm somewhat interested in the concept of the Magic Trackpad, but the Apple one is ... well, Apple, and thus expensive and not 100% suitable for operating systems other than OS X. I was wondering if anything similar is out there. Surely someone out there has made some sort of clone by now?

Filco has a clone with actual buttons, i'd be surprised though if it works as well as the magic trackpad + mac osx.

Forgive my cynicism, but that looks like a cheap clone that costs almost as much as the real deal.

Clipping over the numpad is a nice idea though.

The new Wacom Bamboo revisions finally have 3 and 4 figure gestures. Make sure you buy the right revisions though.
