Hi all,

In 2014 I bought the A1339 model magic track pad (and the keyboard) to go with my 2012 Mac Mini.

In the last week however I have noticed an issue whereby it seems to basically lose connection to my 2018 Mac Mini the further I move away from it. I’m talking about 6-7 feet away from it. It’s fine when I’m right next to the Mac, but it starts to stutter and then finally loses connection by the time I get 6-7 feet away.

I’ve changed the batteries twice to no effect, and the keyboard still works with no problems. I’m presuming that the trackpad just ‘got old’.

Has anyone else experienced this, and did you manage to fix it?
