A new version called the Magic Trackpad 2 came out on October 13, 2015. Announced on July 27, 2010, it was 80 larger than the trackpad found on the then-current MacBook family of laptops. Granted this is a USB hack even my 7 year old could do and I’d recommend making something a bit more elegant. The Magic Trackpad is a multi-touch trackpad produced by Apple Inc.

This driver is derived from Johannes Bergs appletrackpad driver 1, but it has been improved in some areas: appletouch is a full kernel driver, no userspace program is necessary appletouch can be interfaced with the synaptics X11 driver2, in order to have touchpad.
Finally, push the dowel inside the pad’s battery compartment and presto! It works. This project implements Windows Precision Touchpad Protocol for Apple MacBook family/Magic Trackpad 2 on Windows 10. Magic Trackpad pairs automatically with your Mac, so you can get to work right away. Hi, This is a driver for the USB touchpad which can be found on post-February 2005 Apple PowerBooks (PowerBook5,6). To accomplish the hack, remove the pad’s batteries, strip a USB cable down to the red and black power wires and attach them to a battery-sized wooden dowel. I'm able to select EFI boot, proceed to selection how I want to boot my Linux system but as soon as OS is loaded - trackpad and keyboard don't respond.
One of the beautiful elements of the Trackpad is the wireless freedom you get from using the product. For the wireless product you need juice. The Trackpad does this via batteries. However, some get tired of replacing the batteries and did a simple USB hack to power the Trackpad. This hack is not used for communication, that is still done through Blue-tooth, but this is only for eliminating the need to swap batteries or constantly recharge them. However, keyboard and trackpad are not working when I'm booting Linux OS from live USB.

All of Apple products are designed as a “less is more” philosophy where a user just “knows” how to use the product when they hold it or see it. The Apple Trackpad is no exception. Great looking product that works exceptionally well and is bare bone minimum on design features.
