That's the obvious incompatibility, and of course the Extramagic would be unable to detect the gestures if such Bluetooth adapter is used. What I mean, even with the pure stock Boot Camp drivers, the Magic Trackpad input will freeze for several seconds after simply touching the trackpad with 3 fingers. The incompatible Bluetooth radios, such as some Atheros chips (say, in Asus motherboards) might not even allow you to touch the trackpad with 3 fingers.
But we can tell, all is working for us right now, so for as long as the Bluetooth adapter is compatible, everything should work for you, either. As of around March 2015, there might be some bugs under the hood. More features and gestures are coming, but the first goal is to finish the BETA testing.

On the other hand, most of the PC motherboards might come with incompatible internal Bluetooth radios. So far two such USB Bluetooth dongles, Belkin F8T016 and F8T065 have been tested, and found fully compatible. Basically, your Bluetooth adapter shall be officially Mac-compatible (use one the Broadcom chipsets found in the modern Macs). All of the modern (2009+) Macs running Windows via Boot Camp should be supported, but, as of today, PC support is limited. In fact, now you can get more customizations in Windows than there are in OS X.įew more important notes: as of end of February (2015), the project is at the BETA testing stage. These ExtraMagic gestures are highly configurable. 4 finger tap, 4 finger horizontal and vertical swipes. 3 finger drag, 3 finger tap, 3 finger horizontal and vertical swipes.
Please meet the ExtraMagic project.Īs of February 2015, the ExtraMagic sofware is capable of handling the following trackpad gestures in Windows 7/8: I've joined the efforts with a few other geeks in order to present what can be considered the world's first 3+ finger input enabler for Magic Trackpad on Windows platform.
