Twelve South is out with its latest accessory, the MagicBridge Extended that combines your Magic Trackpad 2 with your Magic Keyboard with Numeric Keyboard into a single device.
Aiming to tidy up your workspace, the MagicBridge Extended brings your two desktop accessories together into one. Twelve South previously launched the MagicBridge, but the larger version of the Magic Keyboard that included the number pad to the side didn't fit.
The MagicBridge Extended is created from polycarbonate which doesn't interfere with Bluetooth signals. The top has several grille openings which make it easy to connect your charging cables. The design allows for the trackpad to be mounted in the unit on the right or the left.
Inside are silicone pads that protect your accessories from getting worn.
With the two devices adjacent, you can place them both in your lap while controlling your Mac, which is a relaxed position you couldn't pull off with them separate.
The updated MagicBridge Extended is available now in black or white to match your Apple accessories for $49.99 from Twelve South.

Is there something like this that uses the standard laptop configuration, with the trackpad in front of the keyboard? I’ve found it hard to get used to using a trackpad to the side of the keyboard after many years of laptop use, and the wrist-rest benefit of the laptop configuration is nice too. I guess it wouldn’t be too hard to make with a piece of wood and a router.
Have been using the smaller version for years, it's a useful accessory marrying the two devices.
And where is the Trackpad on the Left Option?
$49.99 for a plastic tray with silicon pads? I'm in the wrong business...
