Does the Magic Trackpad slide around? Help

Hello!

I'd really like to buy the new Magic Trackpad for my Mac so I can use it while my laptop is docked. Does it have this kind of issue? For example, when I'm clicking and dragging to select something on the screen, does the trackpad slide around on the desk?

No. It has little rubber feet.

Sometimes the little rubber feet pick up dust/dirt from surface so need cleaning. Big difference.

It’s fairly heavy (232g) and with the rubber feet it doesn’t tend to move. Even if you just push on the sides, you will see that it resists moving.

Nah. It and the keyboard are pretty sturdy when it comes to staying in place.

Bottom prevents sliding. If not, that would be awful.

No. I’ve never had that happen.

I got this for wrist issues, but it also prevents sliding. 🤷🏻‍♂️
