That means that were seeing a lot of new Apple-only products, and the company is being great about sending us review equipment to test out. The latest item from the company is the US69.99 Rechargeable Trackpad for Mac. While the companys website still shows that the item is only available for pre-order, one lucky TUAW reader will get a chance to win this new accessory from Logitech. Design Size-wise, the Logitech Rechargeable Trackpad for Mac is identical to Apples Magic Trackpad, measuring 5.25 inches wide by 5 inches deep. The Apple trackpad has a definite demarcation between the touch-sensitive glass surface and the metal section containing the batteries. Not so with the Logitech trackpad, which is a solid slab of glass. The sensitive portion does not extend all the way to the top of the trackpad, so it may take those who are familiar with the Apple trackpad a minute to get used to the usable area. The Logitech unit has a rechargeable battery -- hence the name. To charge the battery, the company includes a standard USB to micro-USB cable. There are two small buttons -- a slider on the side to turn power on and off, and a recessed push button on the bottom to set up pairing. My only complaint is that I like to put my Apple trackpad right up against the side of my Apple Wireless Keyboard -- they match up nicely and almost look like a single unit. Not so with the Logitech trackpad, which is a completely different height. Logitech Rechargeable Trackpad On Windows Bluetooth Setup AssistantI used the Bluetooth Setup Assistant to add the device, and then the LED shut itself off. For regular scrolling, clicking, and right-clicking, the Logitech trackpad worked identically to the Apple unit. However, getting some of the other gestures to work was problematic. Logitech Rechargeable Trackpad On Windows Drivers Available SoonIt appears that Logitech will have drivers available soon; at this time, the address listed on the bottom of the trackpad redirects to a master mouse trackpad driver page, and the T651 (the model number for this device) is not currently listed. Of course, this trackpad is also listed as available for pre-order, so its not surprising that the full driver set isnt yet available. I have no doubt that the company will soon have drivers available to make all other standard OS X gestures work perfectly. Conclusion If youd like a fully-functional and rechargeable trackpad for your Mac, Logitechs Rechargeable Trackpad is a worthy competitor to Apples Wireless Trackpad. As soon as the full driver set is available -- which should be soon -- the Rechargeable Trackpad will support all OS X gestures. Pros Can be charged while in use, which is not true of Apples Wireless Trackpad Very Apple-like design, lower profile than Apples trackpad Lower cost than Apples trackpad if the cost of Apples Battery Charger (29) is taken into account Cons Doesnt match up height-wise with the Apple Wireless Keyboard, if youre obsessive-compulsive about such things Who is it for Anyone with a Mac who wants an alternative trackpad to the Apple offering Giveaway One lucky TUAW reader is going to get a chance to be one of the first Mac owners to own a Logitech Rechargeable Trackpad for Mac.
