Henge Docks Clique for the Apple Wireless Keyboard and Magic Trackpad

I got the Clique Apple Wireless Keyboard and TrackPad dock tray for Christmas. I was thrilled. Unfortunately the fabrication tolerances for the TrackPad portion of the tray are just not correct or the design erred on the too tight end of the specification. Like others on here, my trackpad had just enough space to click once or twice in the space provided by the tray and would jam in the down (clicked) position. I use the tap to click feature anyway so no problem there. There is no really good substitute for ACTUAL clicking when it comes to dragging. The double-tap and hold feature takes a lot of coordination and it is pretty useless.I was so disappointed I was about to return it. The issue was clearly a 'clearance' issue inside the tray along the bottom edge of the tray on the TrackPad side. So I was confident I could fix it. I just took out my exacto knife and carefully trimmed plastic away inside the tray until the TrackPad had the space to click and return to the non-clicked position. It took a few trims and tries but it works every time now and you would have to look very close to see the trim work.I'm NOT saying this makes the accessory acceptable. It should not be up to the customer to modify a product that should work out of the box. Had they put more time into testing and had tighter controls on manufacturing with maybe a less tight fix for the TrackPad it would be an awesome product. For now it is just acceptable if you want to go to the effort to make it work.Hope this helps some of you that kept the product.

Designed for 4th gen Apple Wireless Keyboard & the 1st gen Magic Trackpad.If you have a Mac Mini plugged to your TV as a media center, then this is definitely a must have, as it provides you with the ease of use while sitting on your couch.Build quality is excellent, and it's very easy to install/remove the keyboard/trackpad.Highly recommended!

I read the reviews about the sticking magic trackpad issue, so I can't say that I went into this uninformed. That's my fault.Because the issue with sticking seems to be sporadic, I figured that, if it happened to me, I'd simply fix it (one reviewer mentions shaving away some of the plastic, though, for the life of me, I can't see where the thing is hanging up) or return it. For the first maybe three or four days the Clique worked without a hitch. No sticking at all, worked great. Then, without any reason I can determine—no dust, no dirt, I didn't spill a coke on it—my track pad stopped clicking. Removing the trackpad from the Clique would solve the issue. On a firm surface, my trackpad works just as it should. Put it back in the Clique, after a few clicks, sometimes right away, it sticks.To make matters worse, just before typing this review, I had to remove my trackpad from the Clique yet again and I notice that my trackpad has a diagonal crack from the upper right to the lower left. Whether this was caused by being in the Clique or by having to take it out and put it back, I can't say. But it wasn't there before I purchased and started using the Clique. Fortunately for me, my trackpad still seems to work despite the ugly and now permanent reminder of a flawed product.Use your own judgement, but I recommend giving this a pass.

...Which is the only reason I gave it two stars. Sleek looking and packaged as beautifully as a real Apple product. The idea is great and I was So looking forward to using it. BUT.. just like many of the reviews state, the compartments that hold the keyboard and the trackpad are too tight. Once I was able to get the peripherals in, the pressure kept pushing the side buttons and turning the devices off!! I tried and tried, cause I really liked the idea of the piece. Since it is just plastic, I was wary of "stretching " it too much for fear that it would break. Called Amazon and, Amazon, as usual, came through again, giving me absolutely no grief about returning it at their expense for a full refund. I went ahead and ordered the "MeshWe Bluefin Seamlessly Connects Magic Trackpad to Apple Wireless Keyboard" mentioned in some of the other reviews. It's a few bucks more, but hopefully worth it. I'll update this review when I receive the other brand as replacement.

I bought this to use with the Koolertron New Silver Aluminum Nottable Laptop Universal 360 degrees Adjustable Stand foldable stand. I have my laptop on the stand and I use my keyboard and trackpad on a desk board on my lap.I thought this item was very expensive, but not having to worry about the keyboard and trackpad sliding around and falling off the lap desk has been worth every cent. Having a nice sturdy holder makes it really easy to use my input devices and move them off the couch when needed.Note that the "on off" button on the side does not work for me; not sure if that's a design issue or if my particular holder has a bug. I have not contacted the company about it because I don't care enough.If you buy this, maybe this will be obvious to you, but in case it is not: the way you assemble it is to lay the top part of your keyboard or trackpad in the holder and gently lower the bottom part into the tray. I thought it had to be snapped in or something. That's how you get them back out to change out batteries, too; simply lift the trackpad or keyboard top from the tray.

I apparently did not do sufficient research. As many others have stated, the trackpad tolerances are too close and the trackpad will not click without the customer doing modification to the keyboard tray. Since the manufacturer advises that modification, I am not an isolated incidence. That would invalidate return status. I am not used to buying a product that requires user modification to work and submitted for return immediately.

Mit diesem Produkt kann man das Apple Wireless Keyboard und das Magic Trackpad vereinen, sodass beide Geräte nicht mehr einzeln auf dem Schreibtisch herumstehen und insgesamt weniger Platz verbrauchen. Eine praktische Sache also.So richtig zufrieden bin ich dennoch nicht, weil dieses Dock nur aus weißem Plastik besteht. Auf dem Produktfoto erscheint mir das Ganze subjektiv eher gräulich und ich ging davon aus, dass es sich um Apple-gemäßes Aluminium handelt. Das wird zwar nirgendwo behauptet, aber bei diesem Preis war der Gedanke auch nicht zu abwegig, wie ich finde. Fast 40,- EUR für ein bisschen Plastik zu bezahlen überschreitet meine Schmerzgrenze deutlich, weshalb ich das Dock zurückschicken werde. Für die Hälfte wäre es noch in Ordnung gewesen.Ein unschöner Nebeneffekt des Plastiks ist zudem, dass das Tippgeräusch der eingeklinkten Tastatur bei härterem Anschlag ziemlich "billig" klingt, weil das Plastik dann leicht mitklappert.

Product is as advertised, a nicely designed and reasonably good quality plastic frame mount with rubber contacts for keyboard (left) and trackpad (right). This being said, I was disappointed with the trackpad action, as clicking produces a hollow plastic sound that feels cheap and takes more effort than the trackpad used alone on a flat hard surface, which I much prefer. Fortunately I didn't have the problem that many have reported with the trackpad getting stuck in the 'down' position (see reviews on Amazon.com). On my unit the trackpad fits in comfortably without falling out when turned upside down. The keyboard fits more snugly, but no other issues to speak of except that the plastic was not machined cleanly in one location so there is residual plastic, which doesn't look professional. Unless you plan on using your keyboard and trackpad combo on your lap while watching TV, I wouldn't recommend this for the price. The devices alone line up perfectly on a desktop surface and have their own rubber contacts that prevent any slipping, so this dock is essentially redundant.

Tutto ha un costo, però non riesco a capire dove è il valore in questo dispositivo. Il suo giusto prezzo non avrebbe dovuto essere superiore ai 12 euro, dato che è costituito da una semplice plastica che non è nemmeno abbastanza rigida da fare funzionare correttamente quello che contiene. Infatti, il trackpad inserito al suo interno funziona solo se la custodia si trova su un piano di appoggio solido. Pensavo di utilizzarla per digitare e usare il trackpad dal divano, invece nisba.Prezzo assolutamente sproporzionato.

Ich benutze das Case für Magic Trackpad und Tastatur nun seit ungefähr 1 Jahr und bin gespaltener Meinung.Verarbeitung:Für diesen hohen Preis ist die Verarbeitung schlecht.Das Case besteht aus weißen sehr leichtem Plastik.Man sieht 2 Gusskanten.Funktionalität:Beim Trackpad wird manchmal scheinbar der Power-Button gedrückt. Sobald ich das Case benutze, schaltet sich manchmal mein Trackpad ab.Fazit:Für diesen Preis, würde ich mir das Produkt nicht mehr anschaffen.Die Idee ist gut und wirkt auf Entfernung auch Edel. Je näher man rankommt, desto billiger wirkt das Ganze.

Gemessen an der hochwertigen Verarbeitung der Apple-Tastatur ist diese "Dockingstation" recht primitiv.Was den Werbetexter dazu ermuntert haben mag, einem simplen Plastikrahmen die unangemessene Bezeichnung "Dockingstation" zu verpassen, kann man kaum nachvollziehen.Ein weiterer Makel: der billige Plastikrahmen sitzt noch nicht mal ordentlich fest, was dazu führt, dass das MagicPad bei der Verwendung auf dem Sofa ständig wackelt und aus dem Rahmen rutscht.Angesichts der minderwertigen Verarbeitung und der eher eingeschränkten Praxistauglichkeit, kann man dieses Produkt nicht wirklich weiterempfehlen.
