Doesn't provide multi touches capabilities as expected

Pre-report checks

Describe the bug After installed the driver:

500

The device was successfully paired, and no any error reported. But the trackpad only act as a simple mouse. No any multi touches detected, not even the single tap to click, scroll or content menu behavior with 2 fingers, not mention to the 3 or 4 fingers one.

To Reproduce Installed the driver and probe the trackpad in Bluetooth seeking dialog and connect the device.

Expected behavior Even without any further configurations for multi touch gestures, the system should generate default gestures behaviors with 2+ fingers.

Traces The device manager information provided by the driver:

The Magic Trackpad is under the <machine>/Bluetooth/Magic Trackpad

In the Bluetooth section in Settings of Windows 11, the device seems to be recognized as a mouse:

200

Environment

The system information:

Edition Windows 11 Enterprise Version 24H2 Installed on ‎1/‎22/‎2025 OS build 26100.3775 Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.26100.66.0

The device model name and number is { Apple Magic Trackpad 2 model: A3120 } . It has the USB type C interface to connect with the host, but now I'm connecting it via Bluetooth interface.

The readme for this repo states that Bluetooth isn't supported, but I'm not sure if thats up-to-date info.

There is this fork, however: https://github.com/1Revenger1/mac-precision-touchpad

I noticed in the commits here that there's "Fix Bluetooth" twice.

Has anyone tried this driver? Just out of curiousity. Even if it works, you'd have to disable driver signature enforcement, as only this repo provides signed drivers... but it could still be interesting to try

I'm now using the Magic Utilities to solve EVERY problem this repo hadn't solved. I think this issue can be closed now.

I disagree, the problem is still present within this repository's code, so this unsolved issue remains relevant. Furthermore, that utility is payware (subscription!) versus this freeware repository.

Someone managed to get Bluetooth working with the Magic Trackpad 2 USB-C edition - see here: https://github.com/vitoplantamura/MagicTrackpad2ForWindows/issues/20. This should solve your issue!
