Pre-report checks

• [x] Have you checked (use search) Azure DevOps Board and Github issues for known bugs and plans?

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. We sincerely request support for the newly released touchpad with a USB-C interface, launched on October 28, 2024.

Hello, I am a user of both Windows and macOS. On October 28, 2024, I purchased Apple's newly released touchpad with a USB-C interface. However, I noticed that this new touchpad does not seem to be supported by the Release 3979 driver. On the same machine, the older version of the touchpad with a Lightning interface is well-supported.

My system is Windows 11 Pro 23H3.

Describe the solution you'd like Add support for the new touchpad with USB-C interface.

I too have run into this issue. It appears the official Bootcamp drivers also are unable to properly make use of the new device... unless there is a new release from Apple I am not aware of. Hoping support can be added to this driver!

Whether the author no longer intends to update？

The new trackpad seem does not support multi-touch on Windows, including iPad and Mac (unless you upgrade to latest system).

[CaptPickguard]

What I wonder is does a new version of bootcamp support it... I wonder if someone could pull the driver from a newer Mac if so.

well magic utilities is able to get it working so im gonna assume its possible

Edit: has anyone tried contacting the developer directly?

Does someone check the USB Device ID of the USB-C Magic Trackpad? (ref: https://kb.synology.com/ja-jp/DSM/tutorial/How_do_I_check_the_PID_VID_of_my_USB_device )

In many cases, simply adding the USB Device ID to the driver INF file and reinstalling the driver resolves compatibility issues with the newer model of the device.

I think i found the device id info for the usbc touchpad (VID_05AC&PID_0324) and i tried replacing it in the driver but i got a hash catalog file error and i have no idea how to fix that (im a complete amateur)

[398noe]

As far as I checked, the hardware ID was shown as follows USB\VID_05AC&PID_0324&REV_0410&MI_00.

However, when I check the source code, in Device.c of the AmtPtpHidFilter project, it works like sending STATUS_NOT_SUPPORTED to TraceEvents if it is not a VID / PID of TRACKPAD_2.

https://github.com/imbushuo/mac-precision-touchpad/blob/29d277880f167a3cead6c1fe8b4eba58bc168a05/src/AmtPtpHidFilter/Device.c#L306-L317

Since other VID / PID definitions were found, it appears that we will have to add definitions to these files and modify the associated code, then re-build entire of solutions.

https://github.com/imbushuo/mac-precision-touchpad/blob/master/src/AmtPtpDeviceUsbUm/include/AppleDefinition.h

This may indicate that simply appending the pid and vid to the inf file will not work. ( I have never developed driver :cry: I hope the new Trackpad will work on Windows as well.)

[mlo0352]

I saw that nobody can make releases because they're unable to sign - would there by any way for us to make changes and attempt to create an unsigned driver? I have never worked with drivers, but I'm more than willing to help modify the code to work.

The MT3 working is very ideal for people, who, like myself, need to have all of their peripherals working on USB-C.

[airtaxi]

I don't have this product but if you follow the instruction of this link, you can install any unsigned drivers.

[mlo0352]

Edit: has anyone tried contacting the developer directly?

Also, and maybe I'm doing something wrong here, Magic Utilities doesn't have full features - they're missing three finger swipe-up and swipe-to-side and pinching (although they claim this is because there's no Windows equivalent to the pinch-to-zoom action).

[Gentoli]

I have a diff that adds the new USB device ID (will add the Bluetooth ones when I got to using it). All the precision features seems to be working for me.

https://github.com/Gentoli/magic-trackpad-precision/commit/2f9b21821ec9fa5ae48de1a03b456b6a82798203

On publishing / creating release without EV, I know Virtual-Display-Driver uses a self-signed testing cert. I'm not sure how will that interacts with secure boot.

[Wikiwix]

@Gentoli Nice! You might want to make a PR at this "fork". At least for USB it is the most complete solution that is maintained. What is more, they make releases for ease of use and have a way to get around the certificate situation

This method should support your USB-C device

1. Download this (the Bootcamp update that had the Precision driver in): [swcdn.apple.com/content/downloads/03/60/041-96205/61hhcnj7q5dxosc171ytixty20vuqg0r0n/AppleBcUpdate.exe](https://swcdn.apple.com/content/downloads/03/60/041-96205/61hhcnj7q5dxosc171ytixty20vuqg0r0n/AppleBcUpdate.exe)

2. Extract it with 7Zip (right click > extract) because the exe can only run on Apple computers

3. Go to the ApplePrecisionTrackpadBluetooth folder, right click the .inf and install (and repeat for the USB folder)

Doesn't work. After installing these drivers on the system the device generates the same driver error when plugged in as for the imbushuo drivers. If I try manually installing these Apple drivers on MI_00 it generates the same Code 10 error.

This is an old driver from before the USB-C launch. Someone did an update and wiresharked to get the direct link. If someone could do whatever they did again to get the actual latest Bootcamp drivers we may have success, but these older drivers I can confirm do not work.

[mlo0352]

What are you referring to with regard to the wiresharking?

Someone pulled that apple link by grabbing packages from their macbook installing bootcamp drivers. It's been floating around for a while.

hi Everyone,

In my fork of the imbushuo driver, we are trying to support the USB-C Magic Trackpad 2 (no bluetooth):

https://github.com/vitoplantamura/MagicTrackpad2ForWindows

For the installation we are testing different solutions, in an attempt to avoid having to buy a code signing certificate.

If you have a USB-C MT2, every tester is welcome! (especially if you have access to a PC with Windows on ARM).

More info here: https://github.com/vitoplantamura/MagicTrackpad2ForWindows/issues/13

Thanks, Vito

Hi,

I had the same problem and I want to use the official drivers. It seems like the latest one from: http://swcatalog.apple.com/content/catalogs/others/index-windows-1.sucatalog is still the old driver from 2022.

I followed the link from vitoplantamura and followed his instructions, but I used the official 2022 drivers and it seems to be working fine :-) So thank you very much vitoplantamura (and jbsilva)!

Best regards, Martin

[mlo0352]

To clarify, this is just for wired use, correct?

Correct. I wouldn't be suprised if it works to do the same thing with bluetooth as well, but I never use it so I don't have the time to check it up. But if you find the correct device then I think it will be possible to just use the bluetooth driver.

Have you tried this @FoldableChair to install the modified driver?

1. Disable Driver Signature Enforcement:

   • Restart your computer and enter the boot menu by pressing Shift while selecting "Restart."
   • Navigate to Troubleshoot > Advanced Options > Startup Settings and click "Restart."
   • When the options appear, press the key for "Disable driver signature enforcement" (usually F7).

2. Install the Unsigned Driver:

   • Locate your driver file (e.g., .inf) and right-click on it.
   • Select "Install" and proceed with any warnings.

Hi Everyone, I just was gifted the usb c magic trackpad and it did connect to windows, but cant use the scroll or gestures or multifinger functionalities, I am reading here that few have found it successful over Bluetooth, can someone please explain to me how?, PS I am green as they come so please consider that, Thank you
