Notice and Attribution

This repository is a Rust-first rebuild, but it still contains Windows driver code derived from earlier open-source Magic Trackpad driver work.

Current Code Status

  • Rust parser/settings/UI code is new work in this repository.
  • Windows driver code under MagicTrackpadUsbDriver/ and MagicTrackpadHidFilter/ is still C KMDF/UMDF code derived from the previous Magic Trackpad driver lineage.
  • Because GPL-derived driver code is still present, this repository keeps the GPL license.

Upstream Lineage

The Windows driver code is based on work from:

  • imbushuo/mac-precision-touchpad
  • later Magic Trackpad 2 Windows driver forks and improvements
  • community reverse-engineering work around Magic Trackpad 2 haptic feedback

Why The License Stays

The license cannot be removed while GPL-derived driver code remains in the repository. A future fully independent rewrite could choose a different license only after all derived code is removed or replaced with independently authored code.

Rebuild Goal

The goal is to make the project easier to understand and eventually move more logic to Rust:

  • Rust tested parser core.
  • Rust settings backend.
  • Rust desktop UI on Windows and macOS.
  • Future Rust Linux HID/input implementation.
  • Gradual driver-side Rust integration where it is safe and testable.
