Targus-owned Hyper on Sunday introduced the Hyperspace Trackpad Pro, a premium haptic trackpad for Windows. The company plans to add basic compatibility with macOS via a firmware update later this year.
Like the Magic Trackpad on Mac and other precision trackpads do on Windows laptops, the Wireless HyperSpace Trackpad Pro supports multitouch gestures. However, Hyper's trackpad software offers Windows users an advanced level of customization with the ability to set shortcuts in the corners of the trackpad. This includes common tasks like copying and pasting, but also specific actions within apps like Adobe Suite, Figma, Microsoft Excel, and Microsoft PowerPoint.
For example, users can customize the bottom-right corner of the trackpad, so clicking on it will add a new slide in PowerPoint. Users can also create and assign their own gestures, in Hyper's example – a two-finger deep click to enter presentation mode in PowerPoint.
Hyper also lets users adjust haptic feedback and pressure sensitivity, adjust click force, and create customizable sound modes. Once completed, they can share these custom configurations or discover others through the “Hyper Learning Cloud” community.
The trackpad has other things going for it beyond customizability. Hyper says it has independent force detection for up to 10 fingers, as opposed to Apple's four fingers. It also features a 240Hz report rate, allowing for high responsiveness and extremely smooth tracking. Finally, the trackpad can support multiple devices and comes with a detachable magnetic palm rest.
The HyperSpace Trackpad Pro will arrive in Q2 2025 and will be priced at $129.99, the same price as Apple's Magic Trackpad.
