#MAGIC MOUSE PAD APPLE BLUETOOTH#

Having two Magic Trackpads, a mouse and keyboard all synced via Bluetooth sometimes made for some instability, with the cursor jumping around and getting lost without performing any functions. Another plus, having a trackpad aligned with each shoulder, at least in my testing, helped me sit up straighter.īut there were some immediate drawbacks. For starters, the size of the Magic Trackpad does not require crimping a hand on a mouse.

I noticed a difference almost immediately. Then I set about surfing the internet and working my job as a staff writer for Wired's Threat Level blog, all the while two-fisting these machined-aluminum bad boys. So, $140 lighter after purchasing a pair of Trackpads, I easily synced them via Bluetooth to my 27-inch iMac running Snow Leopard (you'll need OS 10.6.4 or above). But then I thought: Why stop at one? Why not score two of these babies (one for each of my paws) and see if I could double the relief? When the multitouch Magic Trackpad emerged earlier this year, I thought using the 5.17-inch-by-5.12-inch device in conjunction with a Magic Mouse might help reduce pain in my hands. Mostly this entails finding ways to reduce the amount of stress placed on my hands. This can make typing a challenge.Ĭertain things help. If you've never had the pleasure of experiencing CTS, let me break down how it feels: Imagine electrically charged barb wire coiled in your wrist, then ripped out through your fingertips. As consequence I've started to develop carpal tunnel syndrome. Or should I say: love them.įor the last two decades, I've been making my living as a writer. I've been testing Apple's Magic Trackpad since shortly after its late July debut, and I love it.
