Apple Magic Trackpad is one of the finest trackpads available for computers. A significant number of users prefer it over its competitors.
Because the Magic Trackpad is close to perfect, many Windows users also like it. However, Apple does not offer an official Magic Trackpad driver for the Windows operating system, which means pairing the Magic Trackpad with Windows requires installing unofficial drivers.
Once a Magic Trackpad driver is installed and paired with Windows 11, you might want to change the default settings and turn on or off gestures.
Needless to say, the Magic Trackpad does not offer all the gestures that it supports when connected to a Mac. That said, a fair number of gestures are available while using Windows 11.
Refer to the directions below to change Apple Magic Trackpad settings in Windows 11.
