Trackpad gestures
- The Magic Trackpad, however, has a couple more cool gestures, like pinch-to-zoom and image rotating. The Magic Trackpad also supports Force Touch, which is sort of like 3D Touch on an iPhone. You click on the trackpad surface and then press down. You'll feel a second sort of click when it's been triggered.

- I find this very interesting as I also use an apple magic trackpad which is very similar, and I love that. Here is how the Apple Magic Trackpad (AMT) and the Bamboo Touch (BT) compare: - Orientation: The BT lays flat while the AMT is angled (the rear is higher then the front). The result is that the AMT has a more natural ergonomic layout.
- Why alternate trackpad driver for Windows 7 / 8 / 10? A.: Apple trackpads are the perfect, probably world's best, touchpad devices.
