I bought the magic keyboard 2, Magic Mouse 2, and Magic Trackpad 2 at the same time, and I must admit that the trackpad truly does feel magical. The keyboard is pretty great too, despite just being a keyboard, and the mouse feels like a normal mouse with a couple of extra features. The trackpad is the best of the three by far!

@@abhiroy5276 If you like using gestures then thats the main appeal. A normal mouse is always going to be better at pointing, but for just clicking about on the web its nice to have the trackpad. I personally think the trackpad is good for me when web browsing and making presentations, but the mouse on standby makes sense for spreadhseets and repetitive tasks. So if you get the pad its a nice quality of life thing, but not better in all facets, and i'll probably always use both

I only use mouse when I am traveling due its form factor. Because I don’t use my mac for gaming, I have found no discomfort with mouse. With that said, I still prefer my trackpad more than my mouse. You may ask why I just don’t use the trackpad on my Mac? To me, it is a little small. Magic Trackpad gives me so much more real estate to work with. That is just my two cents. Keep up the good work!

I am definitely buying the trackpad. The mouse is really badly designed when it comes to the ergonomics. I get a terrible pain in my index finger from it... I've never had any pain from using a normal mouse. Apple mouse is just too low so the hand hovers over and the finger strains incredibly. I'm disappointed - I've just switched to Apple from Windows and expected a solid experience. The only thing I like is flicking left and right which is very useful when editing videos.

The glass is smooth for the most part and I've kinda gotten accustomed to the changing in positions I need to do in order to use it thus far. Overall the Magic Mouse is not bad but the trackpad on my Mac, which is identical to the Magic Trackpad, is far better imo.

Great video, thanks for getting into it straight away and clear explanation. Would have been great to match the video up to the audio a bit better please - it was sometimes confusing/distracting when the audio did not match up with what was being shown. For example at 1:10 onward, when you discuss the mouse, you say that its like any other mouse but the video is already showing the mouse's gestures - leading me to think, "are you saying the gestures are like any other mouse" before then realising what was going on. Consequentially, as you describe the gestures, the video does not show this which is disengaging when describing abstract/uncommon features, such as gesture controls on a mouse. Not being mean - hoping this critical feedback can help you improve! You've got great production quality & potential!

I remember that it also had one solid piece of plastic for its surface and I found that a problem when I would accidentally center it right click when I want to right click. I can imagine that would also be an issue with this mouse as it’s even smaller. I just ordered a few ball mice to replace the apple one that finally broke down, but if I had to choose one I would definitely take the trackpad
