Macbook Pro (2009) Touch pad

Sorry I've been off the Radar for a while. I remember people saying that were made of 'glass', is this true?

Edit: Just because with my last Mac (Whitebook Intel, original batch), the track pad wore off and went all shiny and it used to reflect light and annoyed the hell out of me.

yes

yes

Thanks - did they coat it with anything or not? Like I said, I found the original trackpads pretty bad for wear and tear.

no coat just glass

The trackpads are coated, what with I'm not too sure.

You can tell it's coated because it feels much smoother and friction-less than the glass on the display.

Anyway, I doubt you'd even notice if this coating wore off.

It could just be etched/frosted glass, which would probably be very difficult to wear off.
