As it works using Bluetooth technology, so you don’t have to deal with any annoying cable that dictates where you place it. Once you pair Magic Trackpad with your Bluetooth-enabled Mac, you will enjoy a dependable, secure connection up to 33 feet away. Magic Trackpad detects periods of inactivity and is equipped with an on/off switch. Together these features help to conserve battery life.
