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
