I can certainly understand your frustration with the connectivity issues you're experiencing between your Magic Trackpad 1 and your MacBook 2019 while using Ventura. Let me shed some light on the situation.
Unfortunately, the Magic Trackpad 1 is not officially supported by Apple on newer operating systems, including macOS Mojave and later. This could explain why you're encountering connectivity problems. The compatibility of older devices like the Magic Trackpad 1 might be limited due to changes in Bluetooth protocols or drivers.
To resolve this issue, I recommend considering an upgrade to a more recent trackpad model, such as the Magic Trackpad 2. It's designed to work seamlessly with newer MacBooks and provides improved functionality. Alternatively, you could also try using a wired USB mouse as an interim solution if you prefer not to invest in a new trackpad.
I'm sorry that was not what you may have wanted to hear, but I don't think Apple is going to provide any updates to the older trackpad. The fact that it has been working for you after Apple introduced macOS Mojave (Sept. 2018) until now (of course, I'm just assuming this is true), would be unexpected I would think.
Thanks for the personal reply. It did not surprise me and I believe I did get a longer life out of my Magic Trackpad 1 then I should have. Advancing technology always debilitates and requires replacement of "obsolete/ no longer compatible" components. In this case, I accept the explanation given as being straight forward and acceptable... Thank You,
