How does it work

Actually, Apple Magic Trackpad 2 is not designed for Windows machines, and Apple doesn’t provide any support on it. However, a genius has already implemented Windows Precision Touchpad for Apple MacBook family / Apple Magic Trackpad 2 on Windows 10 / 11.

The method of getting Apple Magic Trackpad 2 working on your Windows PC is quite straightforward: you just need to download the driver file on GitHub and manually install it on your computer, then your Mac trackpad will work like a charm on your Windows 10 machine.

This method also supports the following devices:

•  Non-Retina MacBook
•  Some non-Retina MacBook Pro (2011 and 2012)
•  MacBook Pro with Retina Display (MacBookPro 10,1, MacBookPro10,2 & MacBookPro11,1)
•  All recent MacBook Air (Please report if your model is not supported)
•  MacBook Pro with Retina Display (2013, 2014, 2015, 13-inch & 15-inch)
•  New MacBook (12-inch)
•  MacBook Pro 2015, 2016, 2017 (a few SPI devices are in work-in-progress state)
•  T2-based devices: MacBook Air 2018, MacBook Pro 2017/2018/2019/2020: Use default fallback, experience might not be optimal. Open a issue if you encountered dead touch regions.
•  Magic Trackpad 2 (USB)
•  Magic Trackpad 2 (Bluetooth connection)

Note: In the latest release (Release 3979), the developer introduces initial Bluetooth connectivity support for Magic Trackpad 2. Work is still in-progress so you might experience certain issues such as input lag or system crash.

Use Apple Magic Trackpad 2 on Windows 10 and Windows 11: step-by-step guide

Follow the simple steps below to set your Trackpad on your Windows PC:

1. Go to this GitHub page. Then click Releases on the right side of the page.
   
2. Select the driver file that suits your device. Click on it to download it on your computer.
   
3. Extract the .zip driver file you downloaded. Double-click the folder you extracted and go to drivers > arm64 (or amd64).
4. Right-click the file AmtPtpDevice.inf and select Install to manually install the driver on your PC.

   Note: If there is no “Install” option when you right-click on AmtPtpDevice.inf, you can install the driver via Command Prompt.
   

5. Click Yes when Windows 10 prompts for consent.
6. Wait several seconds and you’ll be informed that the driver has been installed successfully.
   

Now you’ve installed the driver on your Windows computer.

If you’d like to connect your Magic Trackpad 2 to your computer via Bluetooth, then just go to Windows Settings > Bluetooth settings and pair your trackpad. If you prefer a wired connection, simply connect your trackpad to your PC with an Apple Lightning to USB cable.

How to install the driver via Command Prompt

You can install the driver using Command Prompt when there is no “Install” option after you right-clicked the .inf driver file. To do so:

1. On your keyboard, press the Windows logo key and R and the same time to invoke the Run dialog. Type cmd and press Shift, Ctrl and Enter at the same time to run Command Prompt as administrator.
   
2. At the Command Prompt, type the following command and press Enter to install the driver file:
   RUNDLL32.EXE SETUPAPI.DLL,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 132 path-to-inf\infname.inf

   Note: you need to replace the path-to-inf\infname.inf part with the path to the file AmtPtpDevice.inf on your computer.

   For example, the AmtPtpDevice.inf file on my computer is in the following path: D:\Desktop\Drivers-amd64-ReleaseMSSigned\drivers\amd64\AmtPtpDevice.inf, so the command should be:
   RUNDLL32.EXE SETUPAPI.DLL,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 132 D:\Desktop\Drivers-amd64-ReleaseMSSigned\drivers\amd64\AmtPtpDevice.inf

Known Caveats for Bluetooth connection:

• On certain devices such as Surface Pro X, the first time Bluetooth connectivity might take a long time to finish (5-10 seconds.) Please wait patiently. A toast prompting “restart system” might show up, which is a false-positive message, and you can safely ignore that.
• It doesn’t work well with VMware workstation Bluetooth controller passthrough.
