As an alternative, you can turn it off yourself. In addition, the Magic Trackpad detects periods of inactivity, with an automatic shutoff feature that saves battery life. Once you pair the Magic Trackpad with your Bluetooth-enabled Mac, you'll enjoy a reliable, secure connection up to 33 feet away.

How perfect is that? The Magic Trackpad connects to your Mac via Bluetooth wireless technology, so you don't have to deal with an annoying cable that dictates where you place it. This lets you go from trackpad to keyboard in a single motion, or do both at the same time. In fact, side by side the two sit flush at the same angle and height. Seamless Wireless DesignThe Magic Trackpad fits in perfectly with your Mac desktop, with the same sculpted aluminum design as the Apple Wireless Keyboard. Simply access the Magic Trackpad pane in System Preferences to enable gestures you want and disable those you don't.

The Magic Trackpad's full set of gestures includes two-finger scrolling, pinching to zoom, rotating with your fingertips, three-finger swiping, and activating Expose or switching between applications with four fingers.

And because the entire surface is a button that clicks, you can use it in place of a mouse without losing a hint of functionality. This gives you even more room to scroll, swipe, pinch, and rotate to your fingers' content. It's made with the same advanced touch-friendly and wear-resistant glass surface, but with nearly 80 percent more area. The Magic Trackpad is just like the trackpad on the MacBook Pro-but bigger. The Apple Magic Trackpad responds to a variety of finger gestures for clicking, scrolling, and swiping. And users can press down anywhere on the Multi-Touch surface to physically click or double-click on an item-no clumsy buttons involved. Inertial scrolling makes moving up and down a page more natural than ever. Swiping through pages online feels just like flipping through pages in a book or magazine. The Apple Magic uses the same Multi-Touch technology found on the MacBook Pro, giving you a whole new way to control and interact with what's on your screen.

The first Multi-Touch Trackpad designed to work with your Mac desktop computer, the Apple Magic Trackpad lets your fingers do the clicking, scrolling, and swiping. But it will work as a mouse replacement for desktop users who are looking for a more comfortable alternative with multitouch support. It's not magical, and it won't convince laptop users looking for a desktop trackpad.
