• From the scale of 1 to 10 how possible is it to use touchpad from Z16 via USB ?

• are there any tools/softwares that slightly improve how well windows works on a bootcamped Mac?

  I always install the Precision Touchpad Driver. This might depend on the age of your machine, though. I think Boot Camp drivers for the last Intel generation include this by default. (But I don't know that for certain. I do know that 2012 Macbook Pro sure doesn't.). Source: 11 months ago

• My Dad is mostly bedbound and uses a standard mouse on top of his sheets to interact with his computer through his TV. I think some sort of presentation mouse would be better, but I am confused by about which to pick.

  I saw some suggestions about trackpads. Another option (albeit expensive) is an apple trackpad and then using this if you're using windows: https://github.com/imbushuo/mac-precision-touchpad. Source: about 1 year ago

• The keyboard and trackpad stop working regularly

  Hello, On the macbook pro 16" 2019, I have a problem that the keyboard and trackpad just randomly stop working once in a while, until the device is restarted. Forexample it happens when the MacBook is wake up from sleep. This problem does not exist on macOS, only in windows. Has anyone encountered this? I installed Windows via bootcamp and also all drivers except the trackpad driver. I installed it from here,... Source: over 1 year ago

• Need a Guide for Trackpad Drivers

  When I tried to manually update the trackpad settings, I was a bit confused about what to do in device manager. Under "Human Interface Devices", there is a device called "HID-Compliant Touch Pad" but when I updated the drivers using the precision touchpad drivers, nothing happened. I think the computer is recognizing the touchpad as "HID-Compliant Mouse" under "Mice and Other Pointing Devices". The problem is that... Source: over 1 year ago

• Any way to use official precision drivers for Magic Touchpad 2 on Windows?

  I didn't feel as comfortable using the precision touchpad drivers on Github.

I've used it in the past, and it worked great though. Source: over 1 year ago
