What kind of Bluetooth adapter does it have to be? Or any will work?

[DetroitBORG]

@warhawk0426 Any Bluetooth adapter that supports EDR 2.1

your desktop definetely needs blutooth though? If it doesn't have it, it won't work right?

[DetroitBORG]

@falcon9gxgc Correct

Why use something from apple on windows ? Just keep your microsoft stuff ...

[DetroitBORG]

@xave02 Well, tehcnically Microsoft doesn't make much hardware, afterall you can install Windows on a Mac and use the hardwhare there (which is why this hack is possible). I don't think there is much incentive to use the Trackpad here however, you loose its primary benefits on the Mac platform, such as multi-touch gesturing.

I thought it might replace the mouse for gaming, for example. But if not, then this piece of hardware is useless. Trackball is still steers.

can you do pinch to zoom??

[leandrodafontoura]

Im having some troubles intalling, will you please help me? Im with XP SP2, I alredy installed the driver and paired the apple trackpad, but nothing works.....Perhaps is my bluettoth defective? Am I not pairing it right?

[vidvivek2009]

my acer pc has synaptics touch pad which can do more than that!!!

[Pugboy1321]

Does multitouch work

[Martin23650]

On a mac you will scroll the window your cursor is over, even if it is not the highlighted or active window, does this also apply on the mac trackpad on windows? or do i have to click on the window to make it active THEN scroll when on windows.

Can i zoom by pinching?

Also is there TAP to click as opposed to a slight click of the screen? Feedback is greatly appreciated

Re: " As of 1/4/12 the drivers to download for the trackpad for windows 7 64 bit are part of this apple software download:

"Boot Camp Software Update 3.2 for Windows 64 bit""

Do we have to download the entire 121MB Boot Camp Update?

@bramvercaigne - As of 1/4/12 the drivers to download for the trackpad for windows 7 64 bit are part of this apple software download:

"Boot Camp Software Update 3.2 for Windows 64 bit"

The folder to open to search for "Binary.AppleWirelessTrackpad_­Bin" is

BootCamp_3.2_64-bit\BootCampUp­date64\BootCamp3200aToBootCamp­3200

(No hash mark)

It looks like the the same file is in multiple folders, but the file has identical content in all the folders. So there is only one version of the driver.
