Mac-precision-touchpad: Using driver for non apple computer+ Bluetooth magic trackpad?

[alexmore214]

Hi

I'm interested in seeing what it takes to make the apple magic trackpad work for native windows computers with a bluetooth magic trackpad. Any suggestions? I have some CS background and would be interested in helping out.
Thanks.

@alexmore214 With the practice of SPI trackpad, I believe the basic procedure is attaching the bluetooth-enumerated HID device, register driver as well as Internal IOCTL routine (Non-internal IOCTL routine won't work. Hence the driver has to be resided in kernel). Then everything should be the same as SPI except the packet structure.

Still working on SPI driver, I will see if this is possible when I have some time later.

Hey, now that the SPI driver seems to be working, how are we looking for this? I would also be interested in contributing if I can figure out how this works. I've never done lower-level stuff but I'm assuming there's a decent amount of abstraction that exists since there are many bluetooth devices on the market :). Thanks for developing this!

If you can make my magicpad 2 work smooth as silk on win10, I would be ever so grateful. :)

Sounds good. Bluetooth magic trackpads (external) are great.

This would be very interesting for me, too. Plus, I don't get from the available information whether I can attach a magic trackpad 1 A1339 (not the 2 with force touch) to a default PC? And if so, via Bluetooth or via USB?

I would also be pretty interested in seeing if a Trackpad Gen 1 can be re-used on Windows.
