Macbook Air (Early 2014) Magic Trackpad Tear Opening

I am very courious about the Track Pad of Macbook Air 2014, how come it operates with a tiny logic board. So I teared open it. Ithink this might be the first tear-down of this kind in the internet (^^).

There is a aluminium bar adhere to the back of the Track Pad. Remove it.

Removed all the screws attached to the Track Pad.

A layer of sensor is attached with the Track Pad. Tear it gentelly and slowly.

Finally, we did it. I noted that actually the upper layer Magic Track Pad is just glass, instead of metal.

The Macbook Air (Early 2014) Track Pad

There is little articles talking about the Magic Track Pad of 2014 Macbook Air.

Here is the front of the Track Pad. Its dimension is 10.5cm x 6.2cm.

And here is the back of the Track Pad. The associated logic board is incredibly small. There are some words on it:

DO642876E

DQF940AP5A

MADE IN CHINA

At the lower middle there is a circle button for sending signal upon "clicking" on it.
