That means no more updates, no bug fixes, and no new features. But these days that comes with a pretty big catch: MagicPrefs is no longer supported. It's pressed into the keyboard frame and will never click properly if you remove it.Īlso tp ensure proper clicking make sure you align the trackpad properly, you can always pull it out and try reseating it but don't connect the cables until your sure the trackpad is properly seated. MagicPrefs is the most popular gesture editing software for Mac. With some heat from a hairdryer and little finess you can remove the trackpad with very little trouble.ĭon't try to replace the mouse button on your laptop with the silver one, don't even try to remove the button for that matter. MagicPrefs operates as a Preference Pane while BetterTouchTool is a standalone app. ![]() The metal frame and mouse buttons aren't needed. You'll have to carefully disassemble it once it arrives so that your left with JUST the trackpad. (one connector will be unused, but it is obvious) Push the new one on and connect the connectors. Push your old trackpad out from bottom and through the top using light heat and an exacto with the battery removed. The only part you'll need is the trackpad itself, not the keyboard just the little trackpad. Mine was a late 2007 MacBook and I used the trackpad from the old style MacBook Pro (pre unibody) the trackpad is silver and is physically the same size as the original white one but on the underside of the trackpad you'll see there are more circuits and connectors. That's still pretty great news robignorant!Ĭan you provide any further details, something more specific than "The trackpad from the earlier macbook pros can be fitted in there"? Maybe an Apple part number or which specific MBP model you meant?Īnd what do you mean exactly by "the silver trackpad doesnt match the white case"? In color only I assume (no big deal for me, it would be a worthwhile tradeoff), but in the event you mean that the silver Trackpad doesn't quite fit in the white topcase, and you somehow squeezed it in forcefully, I'd like to know about it.Īlso, was the white Trackpad easily separated from its topcase, or did that require some special technique to accomplish?įinally, the silver multi-touch Trackpad you used had the exact same connection interface as the white one you removed? This seems to go against other reports I've read (including TommyJames' above), so it's quite interesting if that's the case.Īgain, thank you for this encouraging news and anytime you get a chance, please provide some extra info cause I'd love to get this done as well! I cannot get myself to imagine using a laptop with a Magic Trackpad on the side.
