Summary:

Magic Trackpad 2 unresponsive to quick right-to-left swipes, from the right edge of the trackpad. I went to the Apple Store and verified with a technician that this issue is present on multiple brand new Magic Trackpads, and on two separate machines running macOS Sierra and macOS High Sierra.

This could be a bug in the hardware, firmware, or software. Hopefully not in the hardware itself.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Get any Magic Trackpad 2 and hook it up to any machine running any version of macOS.
2. Put your finger anywhere near the right edge of the trackpad.
3. Swipe quickly from right-to-left.
4. You will see the cursor barely move, after a short delay.
5. This issue is not present when swiping in any other direction on the trackpad, including top-down, left-to-right, and down-up, or when the right-to-left swipe is executed from the middle of the trackpad.

Expected Results:

The cursor moves around the screen with appropriate velocity.

Actual Results:

You will see the cursor barely move, after a short delay.
