My iPad Pro can't see my first generation Apple Magic Trackpad. Not sure if I'm just doing something wrong, or if it is incompatible due to using slower, older bluetooth?
Got a tip for us?

Maybe you should turn on assistive touch. This is required. And unpair your trackpad from anywhere else, turn off Bluetooth if needed.
I have managed to successfully connect a bluetooth mouse. The iPad just doesn't seem to see the trackpad at all.
Hmm. Maybe that’s how Apple think the “mouse” as a pointer device instead of a mouse like laptop or desktop computers. They put it under accessibility setting and does not expect a lot of user to use it.
That is the weird paradox. The magic trackpad and magic mouse do not work via bluetooth, only via USB. Third party pointing devices seem to be working via BT however...
Yes, but it is easier to use the stock calculator from control center on iPhone. I wish iPads had something similar
