On March 18, Apple formally announced trackpad and mouse support for iPadOS. The changes coming in iPadOS 13.4 are massive improvements over the half-baked options in Accessibility that we first saw in iPadOS 13.
No exaggeration: Trackpad support is the best thing that’s happened to the iPad in a long time. Apparently, iPadOS 13.4 supports multiple third-party trackpads, but we haven’t had a chance to try all those out. This how-to specifically focuses on the Magic Trackpad 2.
(Note: At the time of writing, you need to be on the iPadOS 13.4 public beta if you want to use a Magic Trackpad with your iPad right now. iPadOS 13.4 will officially roll out on March 24, so if you’re worried about the dangers inherent in using a beta, it’s probably wise to wait.)
