我很喜欢我的PC,但我确实错过Mac上的一个东西。 😏 #ENBLE

在计算机技术和编程领域,有两个主要阵营:Windows爱好者和Mac迷。就我个人而言,我属于前者。然而,有一个特定的外设甚至连我这个死忠的Windows用户也忍不住嫉妒,那就是Apple Magic Trackpad 2。

Magic Trackpad 2确实神奇

Magic Trackpad 2的独特之处在于其令人难以置信的手势范围和与传统鼠标相比无与伦比的舒适性。想象一下,能够在Safari中突出显示一个单词,然后“稍微”用力,即可立即通过Force Touch查找其含义。这只是一个开始。

Magic Trackpad 2提供的可定制手势使用户能够轻松浏览网页,编辑照片,切换应用程序并轻松访问各种功能。从捏合缩放和捏合旋转到三指轻扫和启动台,这个外设将生产力提升到一个全新水平。就像在手指尖上拥有超能力。

但使Magic Trackpad 2如此令人惊叹的不仅仅是手势。光滑的玻璃触摸表面与任何桌面无缝融合,使其感觉像是您工作空间的延伸。通过最小的手指移动,滚动变得轻松,不再需要不断移动手部。这实际上是一个助力生产力的神器。

Windows笔记本电脑已经拥有很棒的触觉触控板

尽管Magic Trackpad 2似乎是一种仅限Mac的奇迹,但Windows笔记本电脑领域并不缺少触觉触控板。一些Windows笔记本电脑,如戴尔XPS 14和联想ThinkPad X1 Fold 16,已经采用了这项技术。这些触觉触控板提供了随处单击功能和流畅的触摸体验。

然而,Apple的独特之处在于他们能够从笔记本电脑上分离出触控板,并将其作为一个独立的配件提供。当将笔记本电脑主要用作桌面工作站时,在桌面上拥有一个方便的触控板是非常可取的。

Logitech或其他公司能够提供类似的产品吗?

现在,您可能会想,像罗技这样的第三方制造商是否能够迈出步伐,为Windows用户提供类似的外设。答案并不那么简单。尽管通过第三方驱动程序可能可以将Apple Magic Trackpad 2与Windows PC连接起来(感谢第三方驱动程序),但在Windows生态系统中仍然找不到真正可比拟的触觉触控板。

像ProtoArc和Brydge等公司尝试过,但它们要么缺乏重要功能,要么已不再在市场上。微软的Arc Touch鼠标是一个很好的替代方案,但它仍然不是触控板。Sensel是许多Windows笔记本电脑中找到的触感触控板背后的公司,但它们并未直接向消费者提供其产品。看起来,Windows用户将不得不继续等待一个值得与Apple Magic Trackpad 2匹敌的竞争对手。

🤔 问与答

问:我可以在我的Windows PC上使用Apple Magic Trackpad 2吗?

Q: Are there any alternatives to the Magic Trackpad 2 for Windows users?

A: While there have been attempts by various manufacturers to create similar peripherals, none have reached the same level of excellence as the Magic Trackpad 2. The Logitech Casa Pop-Up Desk comes close but does not offer the same premium feel.

A: Along with the Magic Trackpad 2, other accessories like ergonomic keyboards, ultra-wide monitors, and reliable docking stations can greatly enhance your Mac Mini setup. Explore the world of Mac peripherals to find the perfect additions for your workflow.

Looking to the future

As technology progresses, it’s only a matter of time before we see advancements in the world of Windows trackpads. With companies like Sensel paving the way for haptic trackpad technology, it’s not far-fetched to imagine a future where Windows users can enjoy the same level of trackpad excellence as Mac users.

In the meantime, Apple users can continue to revel in the Magic Trackpad 2’s unparalleled experience, while Windows users can explore other ways to enhance their productivity. Who knows, maybe the next trackpad breakthrough is just around the corner.
