Apple Magic Trackpad 2 + Magic Keyboard Review! #Helpful Post

what's up guys Jonathan here we're about

to magic all the things

now in this video I'll primarily be

focusing on the Magic Trackpad 2 because

that is what is most interesting to me

but I will also touch upon the Magic

Mouse 2 and the new Magic keyboard first

off we're going to talk about the Magic

Mouse 2 because for the most part it's

the same it is of course now we're

chargeable which means no batteries and

of course no battery cover which in turn

does make it a little lighter but

because we charge we of course need

somewhere we can plug the lightning

cable into the mouse to receive the

charge but for some unforeseen reason

Apple chose what is probably the worst

possible location on the face of this

earth seriously if your new Magic Mouse

dies this is how you charge it just for

a second imagine a fancy Apple promo

video with Johnny hive himself

introducing the new magical Magic Mouse

to where we didn't feel like moving the

poor because it would cost too much

money so we stuck it on the bottom they

could have put it on the side or even

better here is a million dollar idea for

you Tim Cook to make it truly magical

implement wireless charging so that

either means it comes with a wireless

charging pad or they implement wireless

charging into the base of the iMac now

yes I know it doesn't take up a ton of

time to recharge the Magic Mouse - but

I've been in situations where I've been

in mid edit the mouse dies and all I got

to do is plug in the mouse and I can use

it then in there but with this mouse how

much opposed to edit like that following

that it's going to take a look at the

Magic Trackpad - what stood out most to

me interestingly enough was the color

choice so instead of going with an

aluminum look Apple opted for a glossy

white look which I'm not sure if I

really like obviously I haven't spent a

ton of time with it but I could

definitely see over time especially with

it being glass at chipping or at the

very least showing some wear and tear

that aside though this trackpad 2 is

actually really nice the glass is edge

to edge and is tapered so aside from the

wood is actually more compact in the

original trackpad speaking of the old

trackpad that operated on a diving board

mechanism where the best clicks happen

towards the bottom and as you moved up

it didn't work as well with a new

trackpad you aren't actually clicking

anything below the glass are four

pressure-sensitive sensors that detect

how hard you're pressing or react back

at you with haptic feedback that

simulates a click now that might sound

trippy as hell but the best way to

experience this is just like the

MacBooks if the device itself is off and

you try to click nothing happens or

moves which is really weird now just

like the Magic Mouse too

this is also rechargeable but without

that stupid lightning port location so

with this not only does it look clean

more importantly you're still able to

use it while you're charging so we're

going to demo off the new trackpad going

into settings and just like the old

trackpad you can still implement a

secondary click we'll go ahead and do

that by right clicking and create a new

folder now we can go ahead and adjust

the click sensitivity so we have light

which is going to give you the least

amount of feedback and sound medium of

course is a step up from there lastly

there's firm which is going to give you

the most feedback and the most audible

click you also do have the option to

enable silent clicking so regardless of

the amount of force you feel it's going

to do its best to minimize the sound

below that this is going to allow you to

engage or disengage a force click and as

far as how that works if you were

browsing and safari and wanted to look

up a word deep press and physically push

into the trackpad and that will bring up

the dictionary wouldn't look up one more

word just to remind me how fragile

Derrick Rose is and beyond that it

functions just like you would think a

trackpad would with your gestures your

swiping and so on and so forth

overall it's a solid upgraded I would

even go as far as calling this great -

the price tag it's a hundred and

twenty-nine dollars and that just might

be the most magic thing about this and

that's how fast your money will

disappear last up is going to take a

look at the magic keyboard and again

well I don't think there's really

anything magical about this it is a

solid upgrade it falls right in line

with the trackpad which rechargeable and

has a lightning port and a functional

location it - also features a tapered

design and a lower profile which is nice

but more importantly it features an

improved scissor mechanism and that's

not to be confused with the butterfly

mechanism found in the 12-inch MacBook

which is honestly a little bit weird

this however is nice and tactile its

clicky it's responsive and I really

didn't have any complaints while typing

on this the one downside however with

this keyboard is the fact there is no

number pad so if you're big into number

pads on a keyboard you're gonna want to

look elsewhere now before I hop out of

here I want to give a huge shout out to

Braintree payments for making this video

possible they're basically the magic

equivalent of app payments and they're v

dot zero SDK gives you one ridiculously

simple payment integration that supports

Android pay PayPal Bitcoin Apple pay and

more it's ready for Android iOS

JavaScript and works in over 40

countries and a hundred and thirty

currencies it's simple it's secure and

you can check it out below at Braintree

payments comm slash tech fist aside from

that that wraps up

video hopefully enjoyed it if you did

and you are feeling like being awesome

in the theme of magic make sure to go

Magic Mike on that like button this is

Jonathan with TLD and I'll catch you

guys later
