The Macs (Pro / Mini / iMac / Macbook) running Windows via Boot Camp are preferred over PCs, because the Bluetooth chipset compatibility is guaranteed for them. I think it's the new Magic Trackpad ExtraMagic is compatible only with Apple Magic Trackpad / Magic Trackpad 2 paired with Mac or PC running Windows 8 or 10. This one is known to work fine with Magic Trackpad 2 Īs I understood you also asked which trackpad is preferred. If the gestures do not work, or the trackpad does not work at all, then you can buy the compatible Bluetooth dongle. If after reboot the gestures work, then no need to buy other Bluetooth dongle.
This will install the Extramagic Settings app and the ExtraMagic driver component which makes it possible to register the gestures for 3 and 4 fingers. If the Step 1 is successful (pointer still can be moved), then you can proceed with ExtraMagic installer Step 2. This will help you to install the Apple stock driver for Magic Trackpad 2. What I recommend: first pair the trackpad with your PC, and if the pointer can be moved (important - also check if it works after reboot!), then run the Step 1 of the ExtraMagic installer. Yet many people reported success using the ExtraMagic solution with their PCs. ExtraMagic is compatible only with Apple Magic Trackpad / Magic Trackpad 2 paired with Mac or PC running Windows 8 or 10.
