Am i the only one finding the trackpad on the magic keyboard simply to small?
I have the 11 iPad Pro and the trackpad feels simply too small To use it.
I often prefer to use the touch instead of the trackpad to scroll because of the size...
 
Too small for what?

For me, I appreciate that the trackpad is there but it hasn’t become a primary input method for the iPad so I dont feel a need for it to be any bigger than it is. I did turn up the sensitivity a notch and I have the 12.9 so I wonder if that factors into it.
 
It’s small but the beauty of having an iPad is that we can touch the screen as well. The trackpad is a supplement to the experience, not a replacement.
 
Honestly not sure how they could have made it any bigger. I mean, where could they have gotten space for a bigger trackpad from? If they pushed the keyboard back further, you'd have your fingers under the floating iPad to type, which creates more problems than a smaller trackpad, I'd think.
 
Trackpad could be bigger sure but the size it is now is perfectly fine. Even for somebody with big hands it’s perfectly useable.
