If you are looking for a way to control your Mac in a more comfortable way, beyond the desktop, in this post we are going to present some very useful accessories in which you can use your Magic Keyboard and your Magic Trackpad from the sofa, if you have your Mac connected to the TV, or control your computer from anywhere.
These accessories unify the experience
The Apple Magic Keyboard, along with the Magic Trackpad, are two of the most characteristic Mac peripherals. And without them, we will be missing out on very comfortable and simple features that only these two products can offer. Above all, if we are talking about the Magic Trackpad, if we are talking about the gestures of the Mac.
Now, when we use our computer, we always tend to be at a desk or in a workspace. Especially if we have a desktop Mac, like the iMac, the Mac mini or the Mac Studio. But what happens if we have a Mac, be it desktop or laptop, connected to tv, and we use it as a multimedia center? Or, if we are in a shared workspace, or in a class, and we need to give presentations or demonstrations and we want to use the Apple keyboard and trackpad, it is a solution that allows us to manage everything from the same place, without having to go for third-party accessories.
Not having a desk, we will have to give up the comfort of using these two devices, unless we have a flat surface to support them. However, if you don’t want to have to buy third party accessories including keyboard and trackpad 2 in 1, and you want to use the peripherals of your Mac, pay attention to these accessories.
Bestand support
The Bestand support is an accessory made of hard plastic, which allows you to join the 2nd generation Magic Keyboard (no numeric keypad), and the Magic Trackpad 2, in the same space. In this way, we will have both accessories in the same space and we will be able to control them in many more areas, and not only be able to use them on a desk. In addition, we can charge both devices without having to remove them from the case, since it has openings on the front, which match the Lightning ports for the keyboard and trackpad. On the negative side of this product is the fact that it is only compatible with keyboards and trackpads that are charged by Lightning. That is, Magic Keyboard (first generation) and the original Magic Trackpad (without ForceTouch) will not be compatible with this accessory.
Twelve South MagicBridge Extended
If we have a Magic Keyboard with a numeric keypad, we can also enjoy this functionality. And it is that thanks to Twelve South MagicBridge Extended, we will be able to have in the same space the Magic Kewyboard 2 with numeric keypad and Magic Trackpad 2. The most positive point of this product? It supports both right-handed and left-handed configuration. So we can handle these two accessories with even more comfort. This accessory follows the same philosophy as the previous one: a rigid case, with space for the two peripherals, and we can charge them by cable, since it has openings that match the Lightning ports of these devices. This product has the same drawback as the previous one: if we have a first-generation Magic Keyboard or Magic Trackpad, we won’t be able to use them on this device.
