The Magic Trackpad is the most underrated accessory. I only use mouse for retouching now. For everyday use, office work, even for video editing, the trackpad wins by far. It's so much faster to get things done.

I think the most underrated feature of the trackpad is being able to disable “clicking noise” completely in settings. It maintains the nice ‘clicky’ sensation silently

I've learned to use the track pad on the left side of the keyboard and my Mouse on the right as I'm right handed, it takes a little time to get used to using my left hand for gestures on the track pad but I found I like having both easily accessible this way. Love the video and looking forward to the Headphone review!

I’m a new Mac user myself, and I do love Touch ID. That being said, I usually have it docked. If you set up your mac to unlock with your Apple Watch, it’s just as good. I walk up to my desk, move the mouse and the MacBook unlocks automatically. You can also use your watch to approve purchases or downloads instead of typing it in each time. I use the same Logitech keyboard in combination with my Apple Watch and don’t miss Touch ID at all.

I have the black track pad. It looks so much better with a dark wood 🪵 and black setup. Thanks for great insight into these products. Keep it up and can’t wait to see new videos.

I’m trying to get better at commenting and liking videos I find truly helpful. Good job man!

30 year Mac user here, funny we agree on all these products. As for colour of the trackpad, I've had a white one for as long as they've been around but decided it was time to get one for the office. I was aprehentious of the darker but that lasted about a second. DEFINITELY get the dark one you will love it.

20:18 That is why you get a compact keyboard that is without number pad etc. The normal Apple Keyboard, then the trackpad next to it.

The MX Keys is a must for me as it can connect to 3 different PCs, I have a Mac Mini, a desktop and a laptop and the experience is smooth. Plus it has the special Logitech Unifying Dongle, so you can connect it with your PC Bluetooth or this dongle that even works to access bios on PC on which Bluetooth didn't start yet. The only issue is the backlight is capricious and sometimes doesn't stop blinking for no reason.

Great reviews. I got the MX Keys keyboard about a month ago, and I love everything about it.

Really enjoying watching you waln through the apple garden 👏🏻👏🏻

100% agree with the trackpad, I've had several fancy mice, such as Logitech MX 1, 2 and 3, G502, G903 etc. I end up using the trackpad for my MBP and my Mac mini 95% of the time. The only scenario where it does not do well is for gaming.

Funny i love the magic mouse, especially for the touch screen .. so easy to scroll or double tap to enlarge. For me charging is not an issue. Yes it's a design flaw but you don't have to charge it that often and when you get the notification that it is almost empty than you can charge it for 5 minutes and it will make it to the end of day and you can charge it when you are off the computer or you watching a movie or something. I personally love the ergonomics. bigger mouses feel to lumpy for me .. i don't know maybe i have small hands :)

There's plenty of videos like this. But this is very refreshing and kinda different. I like it. Thank you for this information.

I started the Windows to Mac journey about the same time you did, and have been enjoying seeing your take on it. I also ended up using much the same set of peripherals. The difference is that I just use the Magic Trackpad now without a mouse. I love that trackpad! I kept my MX mouse sitting next to me for awhile, but ended up never using it, so now it’s sitting in a box in the closet. I also love that Logitech keyboard. On the lack of a TouchID key, I notice you were wearing an Apple Watch in the second half of the video. Just set your Mac to unlock with the watch and you won’t miss the TouchID anymore.

The "trackpad" is probably one of my favorite Apple products ever, hands down, no question about it.

Been following your journey to Mac keenly as I myself a life long windows user purchased a new MacBook at the same time as you and have tried the Apple keyboard and mouse. The quality of the mouse is fantastic, I so wanted to love it, but yes those ergonomics are horrendous, what were they thinking 🤔

I rarely subscribe to channels, but you are something else man... your videos are so good and I've only watched two!

Thank you, for this excellent full week review of these Apple computer items. You remind me a lot of myself because, I too had been putting off trying these items from Apple. However, knew my next used computer to be added to my desktop collection would be in "space gray" so last year, I made sure to order the Apple all black "mouse" and all black "track pad" (with no ugly silver bottom to mess things up) before they were discontinued. As for as the color of your "track pad" it should 100 percent be in the color "black"(smile...smile).

The sounds dropping in and out might be related to your settings. When you connect the headphones the first time, the software defaults to connect to the closest device in their range automatically or to whichever device is playing sound. In which case, if your phone is between you and the computer (or in your pocket), it might competing with the MacBook for the connection. Because of this, all my Apple headphones (AirPods Max, Pro, and the OG) are set to only connect to the devices "when last connected to them." So, I have to manually connect the headphones which I want to switch it from device to device, but it's less of a convenience instead of it switching randomly, especially when you're in a quiet place like a library.

I agree with most of the things here! I don’t know if you already use one in your day to day life but the iPads and their corresponding pencils makes probably the best tablet/stylus experience. The Apple Pencil went through some hardware changes eg charging method but remains generally the same stylus experience since it’s creation- Which is honestly incredible and makes sense bc I don’t know how it could possibly improve. I’m a lowkey Apple fangirl but tbh I prefer Logitech accessories by a mile, I don’t think I could ever justify $600 headphones (unless they are perfection which they aren’t), and the mouse is just. I don’t even think they want people to use it tbh lol.

For all the knocks on the Magic Mouse and its ergonomics/charging, I continue to use it because the omnidirectional scrolling allows me to work much faster with my photo workflow.

As a left handed guy i've never had the space issue with the magic trackpad. Left side: trackpad, middle: keyboard, right: mouse. Daaamn i love so much the trackpad

For people with carpal tunnel, being able to switch between mouse and trackpad can halve or quarter stress (left and right handed use). Also, did you test call quality with AirPod Max?

Go for the grey, if you’re anything like me having the white will eat away at you over time as it sits next to your keyboard. Crazy there’s a price difference for the same thing but that’s life.

would be great if you could create a playlist for your windows > mac series, love it

I love the magic mouse. I can't use a mac without the mouse with the small touch pad on top. I use the gestures ALL the time

Fellow KZfaqr here! I had that same Bluetooth cutting off issue - I found out it was because I had too many Bluetooth devices connected (2x keyboards & 2x mice, trackpad and headphones) As soon as I removed one, bingo, Bluetooth solved for good - clear as day

I really like the way you review tech. I'm a PC guy but had tons of Apple product in my past. They are always really well built but I always felt they cost way too much for what they offer

I have the MX Keys and MX Master 3 Mouse. Both are great. I use it with my Windows and Mac mini, the Flow feature on the mouse is great and it easly goes from the Mac to the Windows computers almost like it is one computer. I do have the Apple Track pad and I love it too. Great Video!

mate I like ur voice speed and tone. Hearing you talking in video makes me feel comfortable watching this. keep moving support ur future new sharing.

The magic mouse definitively took some time to get used to and now I find it really useful for scrolling the web and apps. Would not recommend tho, there is so many other better mouses than do not require for you to get used to them to start enjoying them

There is a firmware you have to upgrade the headphones. You shouldn't return them until you get them functioning properly because they sound better than the Sony or Bose ones. Plus the way they switch from device to phone is pretty nice if you are listening to music and get a call, it will switch automatically. It will constantly switch from device to device without the firmware update.

I use all of these accessories daily. The air pods max, the keyboard and trackpad are awesome! The best tech you can have

I've had the Logitech keyboard for almost 2 months and had charged it once. I use it every day for long periods of times for work. In my opinion the best keyboard, I use a MacBook Pro as well as a Windows laptop and some times had to switch between them. I also have the the Logitech MX Master 3, and I was surprised with how well it works with the MacBook, it supports all gestures.

Well, according to Apple the Magic Mouse will give you 9 hours of use with only 2 minutes of charging. That is why it’s not a big deal that the charging port is located where it is.

If the MX keys had TouchID it would be perfect, they have a new mechanical version with similar switches to the G915 which is amazing BTW. I’m using the black Apple over my MX keys simply because of TouchID. After using it a bit I have found I actually type faster on the Apple keyboard. Hate the Apple mouse, using MX Master three but love the Apple trackpad, ever liked them until I got a MacBook Pro and now hate not having one on my gaming PC. Great Review, very honest IMHO!

Awesome reviews, man. I can't help thinking you should make a second channel for non-camera stuff 🙂

For the keyboard it would be nice if it was a bit more tilted. But overallI think it's pretty awesome. Really like the texture of the keys and the touch id is the most useful feature on a keyboard Ive seen in maybe ever. Not having to enter your password at all and just using that is so good.

I really appreciate your reviews in this video, and agree with your conclusions. I'm a Mac user who dearly loves his Magic Touchpad. I never even use a mouse on my Mac anymore, and the desk space for the trackpad is actually smaller than most mousepads are. I replaced my Apple keyboard a few years ago with a Reddragon keyboard with real clicky keys that just feel better to type on. And now I'm glad I chose my Bose QC-45s. I didn't even consider the AirPods Max because of their cost. I did try and return a pair of Sennheiser Momentum 3 headphones before deciding on the QC-45s. Like you and the AirPods Max, I did prefer the sound quality of the Sennheisers, but their bluetooth just would not stay connected to either of my HP Windows laptop or my M1 Mac Mini. Worked great on my iPhone, but not my computers. Unlike your QC-35s, the QC-45s don't seem to have a medium noise cancelling mode available on the button. It's either on or off.

For your headphones test with your friends, I'd suggest having them try them while they're blindfolded.

For track pad + mouse combo, you can use track pad on off hand side. It’s annoying at first, but if you’re just using for gestures and web browsing you get used to it after a couple days and you don’t have to futz with its position on your desk anymore.

Mouse on the right, trackpad on the left. I use it only for gestures and it's a great combo with the MX3. 👍🏻

I find it too easy to accidentally go back with the Magic Mouse. The keyboard works great for me. I have the very first Magic Trackpad Apple produced; expect I would be very happy with the latest.

I can really recommend trying out the Logitech MX Master 3. It has a special thumb gesture button that allows you to do all the swipe gestures by moving the mouse like "4 fingers" while holding down the gesture button. This way I can keep my sanity in applications that either don't fully support the touchpad or use the mouse wheel for some inputs. Personally, I also think the Magic Mouse is an ergonomic nightmare, but I guess that's a matter of taste. By the way, you can charge the MX Master 3 mouse while you use it ;)

I got all the grey accessories and I’m loving it

Great info, thank you.

I think u should get black Trackpad is similar colour to ur keyboard

TRACKPAD POSITION, what has worked the best for me is to position the trackpad as you would on a giant laptop, meaning below the keyboard. You push a little bit your keyboard to the upper side of the setup but you rarely have to move anything ever again and no component interferes with the other as well.

I use Synergy software to share my mac keyboard and trackpad across from Mac to Windows. That way it feels like one big dashboard. No need to switch, just move the cursor across. Still get the Ctrl/Cmd switching wrong sometimes, but that I can live with.

Matching track pad. Its gotta match! Haha. Thanks for the video -especially helpful about the apple vs logitech mx

i used the QC35 when flying offshore in a helicopter for years, the noisecancelation could take 70 % of the noise. But the apple headphones are far better overall, but they are not good for travel.

I enjoy your Mac reviews almost more than your photography videos 😂 Also I think that Apple listened to your critique of the donglebook pro back then, that’s why they brought back the ports in the new MBP.

I stopped using a mouse a few years ago when I got my 2017 iMac and bought a trackpad instead, best purchase ever! I always had a difficult time with the ergonomics of popular mice and found the Logitec mouse with the ball on the side helped with the hand pain,.. until I started using the trackpad, night and day difference, never had any pain in my hand since, worth every cent!

The Logitech MX Keys for Mac is my preferred keyboard. Along with the Logi MX Master 3 mouse they make a great combo. Don't miss the Touch ID since I use an Apple Watch to unlock and authenticate.

In regards to the lack of space for the trackpad on the desk, I've seen people position it to the left of their keyboard. The other possibility is to use a smaller keyboard like the MX keys mini.

Definitely you should pay extra to match the colors 👌🏼✌🏼

Apple Macbook Pro w/ Logitech MX Keys and MX Master will forever be my go to! The only Apple peripheral I would ever consider is the magic trackpad.

Loved this! Suggestion for trackpad location: Under your keyboard (like where it sits on a MacBook)? (or is it too large to keep there & type comfortably?)

The Apple headphones look more balanced than the Bose on your head, to me at least🙃 And the sound is certainly great. It is a pity about the usage for you in wind.

I love the mouse and like the hidden charge port, makes it look sleek. Just charge once in a blue moon when your not using computer, never been a problem.

Small note, huge recommend to get the TKL keyboard apple sells if you are limited on desk space. It's much easier to quickly jump between the trackpad and keyboard and the mouse doesn't feel so far away on the right that way. The TKL keyboard and trackpad is only a small bit longer than just the regular keyboard

I use the trackpad with my left hand (on left side of computer) and the mouse with the right hand. It makes me more productive and allows my right hand to rest. Takes a little getting used to but once you do there is no going back.

I agree, the headphones "look" really silly when wearing them. Agree with all your other conclusions as well and I have been 100% Apple for over 30 years.

Your journey has been incredibly annoying, funny, and satisfying all at the same time so far.

It’s nice to see people be more interested in audio quality , most people will just get the cheapest headphones or speakers and never see what music can be for them.

Trackpad to the left of the keyboard and mouse to the right. That combined with the mx Master without num keys is perfect for me.

The bra case 😂😂😂. Apple design

number 1 reason for me to still use the Apple Mouse: diagonal scrolling in photoshop! this saves so much time when you're zoomed in deep on a 100MP image for dust removal. Just like the old Apple Mouse with a scroll-BALL instead of a WHEEL, that was such a genius idea. Yes the Logi Mouse can also scroll horizontally, but having to alternate between that and vertical movement to pinpoint where you actually wanna go is really annoying to me in my workflow. the ergonomics of the apple mouse indeed suck big time. Also if you interested in the mouse get the version 1, it runs on AA batteries, rechargable ones that is in my case. ;) Edit: Biggest fail on Apple's side for me has always been the non-backlit external keyboard, I mean the damn thing has a fingerprint reader built in. xD They were one of the firsts to implement that with laptops, many other manufacturers by now have everything glowing in RGB like crazy, yet Apple wants you to pay for a plastic slab that you cant even see properly in the dark, not to mention the disgusting ergonomics on those "thin" keyboards. Rather get a Keychron and you'll love it.

I just ordered and received the black trackpad yesterday. I love it. Because I have the black logitech MX keyboard and also a black magic mouse and it goes well with my M1 MacBook Pro 16 that I just got a couple of months ago. 👍

I totally agree with you about your favorite mouse... A while ago I purchased a 3DConnexion Cadmouse Pro, because I wanted a decent professional mouse - with the middle mouse button as a nice added feature.. turns out the scrollwheel of that mouse just s*cks. I replaced it with the Logitech Master MX 3S and boy, I fell in love with that scroll wheel !

I laugh at people who make fun of the Magic Mouse's inability to charge while being used; the design is nearly perfect. I use my iMac 8-10 hrs per day and the mouse will last about 2 - 3 months between charges. And a 10 minute charge will give you days worth of usage if you forget. So I hear people like Linus Tech Tips make fun of the mouse for this and yet he charges his phone every single night but can't charge the mouse a few times a year. Ridiculous! I also find the ergonomics of the magic mouse to be much better than the logitech mx mice. I also much prefer the ergonomics of the magic keyboard - the standard size - because it has no numpad so the ergonomics for my mousing hand is way better and no issues with carpal tunnel like with a huge keyboard with a numpad. Also, I built PCs for a decade and always had the best Logiech MX mouse and MS keyboards. They always started to look worn and had battery issues after about a year of use then they needed to be replaced. My magic keyboard and mouse both look brand new and have the same battery life now as they did new... and they are 6 years old! I will NEVER use a crappy Logitech MX mouse again (again, I used many of them).

The longevity of Apple products is the one thing you can’t experience yet. They last for years!! I still have a accessories and Macs from 2009! From Apple routers, Mac Pro, input devices etc

About trackpad - if you are not a 100% right hand user, having trackpad on the left of the keyboard and mouse on the right might be a good solution. It needs some practise to get used to, but when you do, it’s a blast. Game on!

I appreciate the honesty!

I went all in on the track pad two years ago and haven’t touched a mouse since. Also, take those headphones on a plane and they will change your life. Finally, to edit with them you have to use the Apple connection wire. Even if you have a strong connection there’s a latency issue.

I had a bit of the opposite experience lol. I've been using custom PC desktops for years and I wouldn't give it up. Performance and customizability is still superior there for the money. However, I thought that Apple always had the best bang for buck in laptops when you take into account quality, and now especially those M chips performance in small devices. But, I found a PC laptop for hundreds less than a Macbook air with the same performance in applications I use, more features, more ports, same build quality and I still am much faster in W10/11. What I've always hated about Apple, even when I loved them, is they think they know best. I know best. That 13 inch Macbook Pro and the Macbook Air. They need an SD card slot. But wait, Apple thinks people that use light affordable computers don't need it and want to use dongles. Do they provide another option? Nope. In PC land, there is always another option.

I use the trackpad with the left hand so useful, as you my desk space is also at a premium and the mouse is on the right

I use the Logitech MX keys keyboard and mouse. Like you, I use both a Mac and windows laptop. It is superb using these with both.

I love how he is embracing the apple ecosystem. It's is inevitable

I use the Magic Mouse on my iPad and Mac laptop. Can’t wait to get the trackpad and keyboard to go with it. Also really hope I can get the AirPods Max. I love Apple accessories 😁

I think u should have tried the Magic Mouse way longer before giving a verdict. I also bought a Magic Mouse as well as an MX Master 3. I pretty much used them simultaneously for a time, till at some point I started using the Magic Mouse more and more over the MX, the reason for it is the same u got for the touch pad, setting up gestures for the mouse to go back and forth on pages, moving thru desktop by a swipe and very natural feeling scrolls thru pages. It feels amazing using my softwares with it. So yeah, my MX Master 3 started collecting dust because of that now.

I have the track pad on the left side of my key board and use my left hand with the mx master 3 on the right, and I use the track pad mostly for resizing my timelines and stuff

If you try and hold the Magic Mouse like most other mice it’ll feel small but if you lay your hand along, it’s feels great.

I too returned the Max. The headband kept pulling the stubbles on my head and I was also getting headaches.

Great accessories review. Thanks. Headphones are tempting, but not if they struggle with the MacBook. Limited desk space suggests staying with the MacBook Air M2 keyboard and trackpad. I did pick up the Logitech MX3S mouse, though. Will try it shortly although the track pad on the laptop is wonderful. Keyboard and funny little mouse? No.

As for the trackpad what I do is use it for my left hand while the mouse to my right. It works wonder using both concurrently

Good video mate , as a dude slowly moving into the apple gear , currently with only an iphone 12 PM and an ipad air4 ( both my first ever apple products , a lot of my questions you have answered . I tried the apple mouse in the store and instantly hated it , it just feels weird , and yes the charge port underneath makes no sense at all , i also have large ish hands. I also wondered about the apple headphones , and not having just a proper off switch instead of that effeminate case is just beyond belief. I also have bose QC 35 cans and am pretty happy with them , and the fact i can pick up my ipad and watch tube video and turn on the bose phones and they almost instantly connect , or pick up my iphone and turn on the bose cans and it just again connects almost straight away with zero BT issues , even the bose BT range seems to be one of the best BT connections from a device i have ever owned . Re: the apple keyboard not being back lit sucks , i wondered about that , as an old geezer with less good condition peepers , these small things make a difference , and by comparison even cheapy full sized with num keypad 10 buck pc keyboards generally have the fold up legs to change the angle of the keyboard .... Seriously WTF apple ? I like a lot about some of the apple stuff , but some of their ideas are really not great . i wont be getting the apple keyboard or mouse , or the apple headphones, the track pad i like the look of though .

Yea I agree, the charging port at the bottom of the mouse was a bonehead move by Apple. BUT, it lasts so long and charges so fast it makes it a second thought for me. I’m new to using the trackpad. Bought it for my wife three years ago. She never used it so I just started. Man, the feel and gestures are phenomenal. I only use the magic mouse for editing photos now. Regarding the headphones, I’m wondering if you have some kind of Bluetooth interference. I’ve never had a connection issue with my 🎧. I’ve had them for a year now and I use them at least 4 hours per day between my MBP and iPhone.

The trackpad is an excellent accessory, also works great with the iPad. I really like the magic mouse - the battery lasts forever so the charging @the bottom is not an issue at all, on such a small device, where should they have put ut? On the side would have been unsightly and it’s not as if the cable has to be attached for a long time, I always have a lightning cable on the desk for my phone so I just occasionally attach the mouse to it when it’s not in use and never had an empty battery, same for the keyboard and trackpad. The keyboard to me is the most frustrating: it’s difficult to connect to another device and there is no backlighting.. However I keep going back to the small version as it is very light and small and can easily take it in my sling to pair with the iPad mini. As to the AirPods Max - I don’t experience connectivity issues (iphone 13 Pro, 2 ipads (M1 and Mini) and macbook Air M1), but you may have to reset them (will take a few minutes) and see whether the issue persists, in that case may be a hardware issue and you’d have to get another pair. The one weird issue I have is a bluetooth conflict between Apple peripherals and Logitech MK Keys mini (for mac)..

Really nice video. And also, the most honest review from a former non Apple user/PC user. I’m not a fan boy but using Apple since 2010 because of video and photo production. And Apple is amazing but not flawless. But close to though. And like you, in the previous video, I’ve realized I’ve lost 10 years of my life with PCs. And I agree with every points you mentioned on every devices. Very down to earth, logic and true to honest experience. No bias in sight. Good job. I though you would click more with the keyboard though since it is close match with the laptop. Trackpad, same experience, since I’ve used their laptop back in the days, I’ve understood it was the solution for the perfect mouse question. Which I ditched completely after buying their trackpad. I actually forgot that their is a zen approach to it and ease of use (fat and lazy) that is why I switched. This devices sped up my productivity so much I can’t use a mouse anymore. Their craftsmanship elevated a product to its maturity to the point it blows the other input devices out of the water. But it took to raise it to higher quality levels. I actually didn’t know about the third party app for volume and other gestures. Could you let me know the name of the app please ? Thank you indeed.

I use the MX master and trackpad in different hands. Put the trackpad in your non dominant hand for an easy way to scrub through timelines and zoom in etc.

For the comparison video you should also include nice middle range studio headphones. For example the beyerdinamic dt770 (80 ohm). Would be interesting what do you guys think about losing so much sound quality with bluetooth headphones.

I’ve never used the logitech mouse but the surface precision mouse has all those features too

I agree with everything you said regarding the magic keyboard and the logitech keyboard. However, the keys on the logitech keyboard died on me after about eight months of use which was a real bummer. I can't wait till I can afford another one until then I'm using the mini magic keyboard that came with my Mac.

I use the Logitech MX Master 3 on the right of the keyboard as I’m right handed and use the Apple trackpad on the left side of the keyboard with my left hand. Once you get used to it, you become way more productive navigating though windows, software etc way faster.

The way you explain to, really really really helpfull to make decition, and offcourse.. make me safe my money.. one LIKE for this vidio

TouchID and the ultra thin design is the only reason I use me Magic Keyboard. For CAD I use the MX 3 mouse because of the missing middle button and the precise scrolling. For everything thing else, the Magic Mouse with its Touch gestures is the most comfort use.

The Magic Trackpad is my second favourite iPad Pro accessory.
