Warning: The project is under development, with some features incomplete yet. See projects page for known issues and WIP(work-in-progress) items before opening a new issue.
This project aims to implement Windows Precision Touchpad Protocol for Apple MacBook family/Magic Trackpad 2 on Windows 10.
Both USB and SPI trackpads are supported.
Please open an issue for model support. In the issue, attach your MacBook model identifier (e.g. MacBook9,1) and HID device ID (you can view it in System Report in macOS, or Properties Window of the "Apple SPI Trackpad" or "Apple USB Trackpad" in Device Manager of Windows). Here is an example in macOS:

You don't have to enable manual trust, as recent builds are cross-signed by DigiCert. If you want to try latest changes, you can click "Build Status" badge and download CI builds (tagged with commit ID and machine architecture) manually.
(Coming soon)
Note: SPI version needs at least Windows 10, version 1709 to work.
- SPI version is kernel-mode driver, using KMDF Framework v1.23. Windows 10 Driver Development Kit (at least 1709) is required for development and testing.
- USB version is a user-mode driver, using UMDF Framework v2.15. Windows 10 Driver Development Kit (at least Creators Update version) is required for development and testing.
There is a bring-up issue for certain MacBook Pro and MacBook Air. I am looking into it. If you have such device with Windows installed, please contact me so I can look into the issue remotely (as I don't have many devices).

People familiar with me know that I don't use Apple MacBook (so development work of this driver occurs on a Surface Pro 4). People probably think it doesn't make sense that I started this project. The motivation behind this project origin from complaints from my girlfriend. Hearing about frequent complains about Dell XPS 13's touchpad (though it passed Precision Touchpad certification), I decided to start this project, so by the time she switches to MacBook Pro, she will have excellent touchpad experience out-of-box, even on Windows. This driver is made for you, but also for everyone.
I would like to thank projects like magictrackpad2-dkms and macbook12-spi-driver that inspire me. I would also like to thank my friends for providing me immense help on devices and testing.
