Trackpad (System Preferences)

The Trackpad pane of the System Preferences in macOS was developed by Apple to allow users to customize the settings of a trackpad connected to their Mac.

For universal access features for users with disabilities, use the Accessibility preference pane.

History
With the release of Mac OS X, the Mouse preference pane superseded the Mouse and Trackpad control panels from classic Mac OS, combining the features of both with separate tabs.

The functionality was merged with the Keyboard preference pane into a singular Keyboard & Mouse pane to also manage keyboards and mice from Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther) to 10.5.8 (Leopard). It was once again separated into its own preference pane from Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) onwards, with expanded support for multi-touch gestures.
