Do NOT Make A Mistake | Magic Trackpad 2 VS Magic Mouse 2 

Apple should update the magic trackpad for Apple Pencil compatibility

I don't work for that long a time in one sitting, but also prefer the trackpad as I use an Apple laptop a lot, and having the same gestures, but with even more space, is a big plus for me.

what's the mistake? using either compared to the Mx? I thought you ultimately concluded they were close? doesn't feel like much of a mistake right? what am I missing here? I need to pick up a mac only mouse for on the go but now I'm confused after watching haha

2:26 Imagine people couldnt tell glass and plastic apart... oh wait a minute

subscribed! helping you with your 10k goal. Dont give up. you got it keep up the good work. cheers

I have Macs, Windows, and Linux machines and right now my go to for all of them is the Logitech M575 trackball. Really thinking about trying this trackpad but what I am using now is so effortless with plug-and-play compatibility and ergonomics I think it might be a mistake for me. I still want one though but that cost is hard to swallow.

I personally have a really big hands for a men in this age, but magic mouse is absolute fine for me in terms of its ergonomics. There is a the thing with the shape of the apple mouse, everything depends on your grip, you really need to grip it in an apple way so it becomes comfortable

they also work on pcs as well just got the trackpad 2 today and it works great on both

I would like to add that for me, the ergonomic issue was not the magic mouses' design, as I first thought. The culprit was the sitting ergonomics of the desk and chair along with the height and angles (just look up good sitting ergonomics while working on a desk computer). I would get wrist and hand cramping/pain from extended use. Try using a 90-100 degree angle of the forearm with minimal shoulder abduction/lateral movement of the shoulder joint, all discomfort is eliminated. Try it. I've noticed that people with longer legs than torso (me) tend to have this issue.

Correction for your claim at 0:52 Apple still sells the USB SuperDrive that came out all the way back in 2008 both on it's website and in physical store locations.

I have a Macbook Pro, which I use on a riser, so don't get much use out of the trackpad, but I do like to use it. I was a long time windows user. I loved my HP laptops but the mouse pad was nothing like Apple's trackpad. I bought the mouse due to relying on a mouse with my HP laptops. I do like using a mouse for things like drag and drop, but for general use, I wouldn't mid using a trackpad. I also find the mouse uncomfortable if I'm not sat at my desk. I am tempted by a trackpad. When they're better priced. I also have a magic keyboard (model A1644). Do you know which model of trackpad will match best?

Great video. After I bought my MacBook I couldn't decide on which to get but eventually settled on the Magic Mouse. Now I'd love to have the trackpad too.

I recently changed from an ergonomic mouse to Apple trackpad. Surprisingly, flat is good. Flat is best for the wrist.

I'm using and needing both of them. The Mouse ist my main pointing device but the trackpad is more useful and easier for zooming in and for all the multi finger gestures to control the app windows. I can't renounce one of them. And the Magic Mouse isn't more worse, than any other Mouse by using it. Not in my opinion.

Would love Apple Pencil compatibility and a fingerprint reader on the next gen of trackpads.

I'm testing the MX5 today and I'm not convinced that it's better than the Magic Mouse or trackpad. I started with the trackpad 1, continued with the 2 and the 3 is in my basket already. Why? When comparing with the MX3, the pros are multi device connection and ergonomics**, while I still "need" to buy a trackpad or mouse for every computer I'm using. But I mis the gestures already. MX5 ergonomics are better, in a way. But, maybe, because I'm still finding my way, the MX5 isn't the device (for me) that "everyone" is so. It feels cramped, but this could be first hour issues. Any hint, opinions or remarks?

I prefer the Magic Trackpad with my M1 Macbook Pro. However, I can let the deal pass on a 50% discount on a Magic Mouse Late 2021(Black). Still havent unboxed the Magic Mouse though.

i just got my first imac and i was thinking what is magic trackpad and if it is worth it, apperently it is, i don't own one yet since i just have my magic keyboard and mice that came with imac, but when they break next upg ill get blackout version of magic keyboard and. trackpad, reason for trackpad is 3 in my case, first its gesture controled like mice, move hold or swipe along with press are the basic mice options with limited space to do them on which work on daily use, but in my gaming case it sucks, that is my second case, sensibiity, right now it feels like 3200 very slugish since i came from 10.000 on daily use feels bad to manuver it but gestures are worth it, all gestures work perfectly and save time, the only headache is reaching point a to b with mice so more surface of trackpad plus more functions should be better i think if it works as macbook that is, as for my last reason is wraist strain, during daily use its not a big issue since i can use it all day, where it does hurt is gaming with precision or apm since the mice is so sluggish when moving it makes extra strain on my wraist, i do have a gaming mice i used on my previous pc, but i use it rarely just like gaming is rarely also. anyway thats my opinion so far never owned one but i intend to buy it next. i own alot of apple products since it allways puts a smile on my face having reliable and good quarity products, never once felt annoyed, except 2 times, apple watch disgusting poor battery life, and airpods pro unreliable battery and connectivity.

charging port location of mouse is not rly an issue, mouse lasts long enough and you just charge it over night and thats that

Spot on, Nate. Better yet still, any serious editor or streamer will use Trackpad AND a mouse, but not Apple Mouse - Mx Master3 or 3S is the clear choice for most.

did you say the mouse had a creative charging solution? ha! that's the most amazing take ever.

My problem with the Magic Mouse is finding a pad that WORKS. I may have to switch to the track pad.

Don’t forget the SuperDrive for old age!

Can both the trackpad and the mouse work simultaneously with iPad Pro?

i love trackpad on my macbook, and i recently bought magic trackpad, and i rly dont like it its slower and somehow laggy does anyone have this problem?

Magic mouse: you are not going to have any wrist issues as long as you use a pad. I've been using it for years, no problems whatsoever. The placement of the charger is done with purpose, to avoid cables, and the design purpose is largely misunderstood: Apple doesn't want to suggest people that they should use cables. It only take a few minutes to charge and it lasts for weeks, so it's not a problem at all. It's not like charging your phone, something that needs to be done regularly.

You need to make a How-to video about Magic Trackpad 2 working with Windows. I've searched for such a video everywhere but I couldn't find anything concrete. If you do, please show on the video of how it works both via Bluetooth and over USB. Does Windows Precision drivers work on Windows with this device? Something like that

i love the magic trackpad since day one! the mouse is also great but is not great for big hands.

If they would make a trackpad with built in touch-id it would be an instant buy for me. The fact that you have to use an Apple keyboard to get touch-id is nuts to me.

One update I wish Apple would do is the charging of the Magic Mouse. Who designed this to plug the charger in the bottom? For a company that is probably the best computer company and tech company, that was a pretty dumb place to put it there.

Try to work in illistrator or photoshop with that trackpad and you see how the mouse is way better option

Great video

Just ordered the black trackpad because I’m a degen who pays extra for a color🥴

I use Mac inbuilt Trackpad and bought Mouse. Trackpad is same

Wait the Magic Mouse last 9 hours? I haven’t charged mine for a month and it’s at 67 percent

I prefer the trackpad in my music studio simply due to the fact that it can remain stationary.

Well, have both, and your review is spot on. That said, my opinion, for what I do, both are a great option. Depends on what I am doing as to which one I use. My 2cents.

Not forget by me, I have both of them..

It turns out there is really no decent Trackpad (even Wacom) couldn't make one. I want to know how to make it work for Windows. Could you do a video on how to make it work with Windows. I am looking forward to buy it for my Windows PC. I really want multi finger 3 4 5 finger touch work with this on my Windows PC. There is a sale going on here in India.

The trackpad started hurting my hand after just 30 minutes lol I went back to a mouse right away. Just not for me

1:05 Answer: I would bring back the 27 inch iMac Pro with the m2 max, 32GB of RAM, a 6k display, and with the max of the m2 ultra, 256GB of RAM, and 8TB SSD. If not I would bring back the 27' iMac that starts with the m2 chip at 16GB of RAM and 256GB SSD and the 5k display with the max configurability at the m2 pro, 96GB of RAM, and finally, a 8TB SSD. Would be cool tbh.

Magic Mouse is an ergonomic disaster!!! I had one at work for a year and I hated every day of using it!!! I even had calloused skin on a side of my ring finger because of it! Finally I ended up buying myself the very basic Genius wireless mouse and I couldn't be happier

Did you mark the mouse down for the charger port… but then not actually show it or even describe it other than sarcastically call it “creative”? Surely I missed that bit, right?

the MX is trash, is heavy as hell! magic mouse is lightwave

Neither. I own both and both are in their boxes again. The MX Master 3S crushes them both in every way. Plenty of utilities to really expand the capabilities of the mouse.

I use the Magic Mouse at school and plan on using the trackpad at home. But if I love the trackpad I’ll just lug that to school lmao

4 months later inflation had caused the color black mouse and trackpad for $20 bucks more lol

magic trackpad not suport or device xiaomi pad 6 pro

iPod touch BING IT BACK!!

video is quiet af

Yeah I do think $130 is completely outrageous for that! 🤯
