Hyper’s latest creation lands like a quiet revolution on the desktops of every Windows user who’s ever looked on in envy at the silky-smooth glide of an Apple Magic Trackpad. The HyperSpace Trackpad Pro is the full-throated challenge to the status quo that the Windows faithful have been crying out for.
Gabi Iorio, Hyper’s director of worldwide marketing and sales, encapsulates the angst in a single sentence: Windows consumers have had to put up with subpar external trackpads for far too long, waiting for a piece of hardware that can compete. The Trackpad Pro appears and puts a stop to all of that silliness with a 240Hz reaction rate that completely eliminates any lag. No more stuttering movements – whether you’re scrolling over a video timeline in Premiere Pro or nudging layers in Photoshop, the Trackpad Pro is so responsive you’ll forget it’s an add-on.
- Magic Trackpad is wireless and rechargeable, and it includes the full range of Multi-Touch gestures and Force Touch technology.
- Sensors underneath the trackpad surface detect subtle differences in the amount of pressure you apply, bringing more functionality to your fingertips...
- It features a large edge-to-edge glass surface area, making scrolling and swiping through your favourite content more productive and comfortable than...
The precision begins with a full sheet of glass that covers the entire working area and is sensitive from edge to edge – no more fumbling for a sweet spot or dealing with non-functioning corners. The third-generation piezo haptics provide a crisp click wherever your finger lands, just like a physical button, but without the wear and dead zones associated with mechanical components. Press harder, and the full-force sensor matrix detects the difference, detecting light taps, purposeful pushes, and everything in between.
Hyper’s Hydra Connect software lets you map out the surface – assigning a corner tap to launch a new tab in Chrome or a deep press to export a file in Figma. Your profiles load automatically when you switch apps, bringing with them all the shortcuts you need for Office or design tools. You can even share those setups via a cloud library and pull them down from other users to save the trial and error – early testers rave about the depth of what’s possible with the software, even if the interface does take a bit of patience to get your head round all its layers.
Ergonomics sneaks up on you in the best way, since the body is slightly wider than Apple’s but shallower, allowing it to fit next to a keyboard. A slight lip at the back tilts the front edge up, preventing wrist strain during extended sessions. Detachable magnetic palm rests snap in for additional support, and it connects via Bluetooth or USB to up to four devices. Palm rejection operates discreetly in the background, ignoring stray hand contact to keep your cursor in place.
Under typical conditions, the battery lasts a month on a single charge, so you can do away with cords entirely. It handles Windows’ built-in multitouch gestures, such as two-finger scrolling and pinch-to-zoom, without issue. Basic functionality pass over to macOS for occasional crossings, but sophisticated features are limited to Windows. That concentration pays off in the details, such as preset profiles that allow you to get right to work without having to go through the setup process.
For the past 20 years, Hyper has been making hardware for creators ranging from portable chargers to disk docks, and this trackpad is no exception. They’ve previously crowdfunded seven projects, raising over $15 million from 150,000 backers, demonstrating a track record of delivering on pledges. The Trackpad Pro is currently available on Kickstarter for $109 as an early bird discount, a significant savings over the $149.99 price tag. Shipping begins in Q1 2026, so you have plenty of time to follow the campaign and get one before they sell out.
