Finally, a premium-feeling, gesture-ready wireless trackpad for Windows
The new HyperSpace Trackpad Pro is the first premium trackpad with haptics, force-sensing capabilities and customizable software for Windows. Much like Apple’s Magic Trackpad, it aims to give Windows users a larger and more precise external trackpad they can use with their desktops or alongside one of the best laptops. According to industry reports, this device represents a significant advancement in PC peripherals.
At just over 6.5 inches across, it’s slightly wider than the Magic Trackpad; however, at 4 inches deep, it is a bit shallower. Likewise, it has a raised back and tilts up slightly for improved ergonomics, which helps maintain a more neutral wrist position than Apple’s completely flat glass surface. Data shows that ergonomic improvements in input devices can significantly reduce wrist strain during extended use.
The HyperSpace Trackpad Pro can connect to your PC wirelessly over Bluetooth or over a wired connection. It works right out of the box with all of the multi-touch gestures in Windows, but you can also tweak it to your workflow using the company’s Hydra Connect companion app.
Instead of using mechanical switches, Hyper has decided to incorporate 3rd-gen piezo haptic tech into the HyperSpace Trackpad Pro so that every click feels more satisfying across its glass surface while also being more precise. At the same time, its full-force sensing matrix allows you to perform both short and long presses, with the latter also being fully customizable within the company’s software.
Speaking of the companion software, you can also switch between preset profiles for a number of different apps like Microsoft Office and creative suites. According to analysis of recent tech innovations, we’re seeing more devices with sophisticated customization options. Meanwhile, experts note that advanced input devices like this trackpad are becoming increasingly important in professional workflows.
