System Preferences controls system-wide settings ('global' settings), and is available from the Apple () menu at the upper-left corner of the screen. System Preferences lets you adjust things like your screen resolution, keyboard control, mouse control, sound, printer settings, sharing settings, accounts, and more.
- And at long last, you can finally hook up Apple’s own Magic Mouse 2 without diving deep into the Settings app or worrying about support dropping after iPadOS updates. Below, we’ll show you how.
- Control Panel (ExtraMagic Settings) is compatible with Boot Camp and PC. Magic Trackpad 2 is supported. An Apple Magic Trackpad / Magic Trackpad 2 connected to a PC (or to a Mac running Windows 8 / 10 via Boot Camp) supports only the basic features for 1 and 2 fingers, just enough to operate as 2-button mouse with a scroll wheel.
