Bluetooth Support for Type C?

[PythonOrC]

Hello,

First of all, thank you so much for your work. It is truly amazing. I was able to get the USB connection working perfectly, but I was just wondering if there is any way to get the Bluetooth functionality. I understand in #4 you mentioned that it is possible to get the imbushuo driver working with Bluetooth. Does this apply to the Type-C version as well? I tried the following steps:

1. Disconnect USB connection
2. Pair the trackpad via Bluetooth (at this point there are two devices, at this point, I can see two devices in the Windows device manager: Bluetooth HID Device, and Bluetooth XINPUT compatible input device.
3. Install imbushuo driver AmtPtpDevice.inf again
4. Run AmtPtpControlPanel.exe and click Install Driver
5. Go to Windows Device Manager and select the two Bluetooth devices. Install the Apple USB Precision Touchpad Device (user-mode) for both via the Update Driver option.

When I tried to install the driver for either device, I received a This device cannot start. (Code 10) error.

Is there any way to get it working on Bluetooth? Thank you

Just want to follow this issue as I am planning on purchasing a Magic Trackpad myself as it seems the best option on Windows.

Would like clarity if the new USB-C version supports Bluetooth via any driver or any method. Else I will try and find a Lightning version, which AFAIK does work with Bluetooth. Thanks.

hi,

unfortunately currently as far as I know there is no way (open source, i.e. free) to use the USB-C MT2 in Windows via bluetooth. My version of the imbushuo driver only works via USB, as clearly specified in the project description and in the main README.

The problem is not only the cost of the EV certificate needed to sign the bluetooth driver: for example on my 2018 Asus laptop I have never managed to make my Lighting MT2 work with the imbushuo drivers via bluetooth... so when purchasing an MT2 to use it in Windows it would be useful to also keep this eventuality in mind.
