My MagicTracpad is emitting touch events without me touching the trackpad!

Asked by Duncan McGreggor

Randomly, 3-finger, 2-finger, etc., touches are registered on the trackpad without me actually touching the trackpad. What's going on? Is there a regression in the code? A weird bug?

This happens when the MagicTrackpad batteries start to die.

Simply replace them, and you should be good to go :-)
