Hello, are any of you using an iPad with only a Magic Trackpad (without a physical keyboard)? How practical do you find it?

I do! Actually I have the keyboard as well but mainly use the trackpad as I’m mostly scrolling through reading material/pdfs. The trackpad is perfect for scrolling and zooming. I have everything going through a hub attached to a stand so I don’t have to worry about a low battery. I can even use the setup with my iPhone 15 plus.

Thank you, this is exactly what I wanted to know. I too am mostly reading and scrolling on the iPad.

it's pretty impressive how well the trackpad works with the iPad.

At times I use the Apple Keyboard as well.

I even got one of those rotating magnetic stands to use the iPad vertical lol

Good to know it works so well with iPad. I’m looking forward to getting one.
 
I’m sure it’s great to use. I will get one. Do you have the white or the black trackpad?
I have the white version. The black version wasn’t out yet when I bought this one (at least I don’t think it was). The white has held up well, no yellowing. I’ve got a black desk so I try to keep all my devices white. If you decide to get a Magic Keyboard, there’s a nice tray on Amazon that connects the two at the same level and looks good.

Thank you for the idea for the tray. I will check it out. As for the trackpad colour, I will try to have a look at both before deciding.
