Mat for Magic Trackpad 2

thingiverse

I'm really fond of the Apple Magic Trackpad 2, but there's one thing that gets in my way: the slope of its surface. I prefer the feel of using the touchpad on a MacBook Pro, whose surface is perfectly parallel to the desktop. This gives me a more natural sensation when touching something lying flat on the desktop, since I can move my fingers across the touch pad without sensing any change in height as I move. This sense is probably subconscious, but it's always there and can be really annoying when it pops into my head while I'm working. So I came up with a solution: a mat for the Apple Magic Trackpad 2 that does one thing - making its surface almost parallel to the desktop. I designed this mat to look good with the Magic Trackpad 2, so I made it resemble a speech bubble when placed under the trackpad. If you take a closer look, you'll see that the surface is actually glass, and you can even use it as a makeshift chalkboard by writing on it with tissue paper and a little bit of alcohol to erase.
