I have been using macbook for over 14 years and now mac mini. With the keyboard it is more than enough for me, I almost never use a mouse and the trackpad is practically a glove, but that is why the mouse or the trackpad cannot be underestimated, everyone looks for their ergonomics when working, greetings!
I use the trackpad with my vision issues, I'm left handed but use the trackpad with my left, mouse on the right. When viewing technical documents I simply drag my mouse to where I need to zoom and use the trackpad expression to zoom in. It is intuitive and quick. I believe that having all three, the trackpad, the mouse and the keyboard is a complete set. The only additional input I'd like to get is a Wheel and a Slider for my use in Logic Pro which would complete what I use w my iMac.
Hey there, hundred percent agree!! Gestures in the mac + regular mouse is indeed a fun combo. For your wheel and slider, maybe you can check out loupedeck, they offer some really innovative stuff!
Very honest review- and exactly my thoughts. I have been toying with the idea of going track pad only - I would prefer not having to move wrist much and just naturally interacting with my desktop with gestures... but as you accurately mentioned- the accuracy limitations. With a mouse I could just fly across my big screen and click exactly what I want in a split second, select multiple docs & sort them super quickly etc... BUT.. if you're a creator working on photo editing for example... I'd take a trackpad anyday. Zooming in & out of edits is so much more intuitive - but ultimately my mouse serves me better 80% of the time. Ideally though, I think you can still have a track pad lying in the drawer - and pull it out for special case scenarios where it'll just be better than the mouse.
@@vik393 100% agree dude. However there are some people that strongly insist that trackpads are more accurate than a mouse 🤌🏼🤷🏽♀️ But yes, I personally think trackpad for content creator, from your comment nailed it hard 😛 Thanks for stopping, appreciate your time here
Thanks for the great and honest review. You are very talented. I’m heavily debating getting the trackpad, but you’re point on accuracy clicking was the final factor. I’ve been meaning to pick up the MX mouse too. I have an older version but need to upgrade with the minor adjustments.
Hey Steve, thanks for the comment ! Appreciate it a lot! Click accuracy right ? Mouse > Trackpad for precise stuff for me. Well, there’s the new MX MAster 3s, or the Logitech Lift (vertical mouse) for a change. It does horizontal scroll but without the scroll wheel. Pretty interesting, and it’s cheaper too
@@kendidshoots I tried the M575 & 3S and nothing feels better than the M570 for me. My pinky gets tires on the 3S and had dragging the mouse around after getting used to scroll wheels. I think my hand would get tired using the track pad as well. Thought I found a better fit (MX Ergo Plus), but nope, too big. Think I have to stick with the M570 until something better comes out in the future. Can't do the lift style mouses. Granted, everyones hands are built differently and it's a pain going through the trial and error, lol.
Hybrid team here. Zoom in and out is better with the pad. I work mainly with collaborative board like miro or whiteboard. Both hands are now active, not only during typing
It surprised me a lot when I noticed your cursor moves when you click. Even if I set the tracking speed in macOS to the _highest_ setting, my cursor does not move a single pixel when I click. I wonder if it has to do with any extra software you installed, influencing the sensitivity. This could have had a significant impact on your experience. Also, if you indeed use your cursor to click the red/yellow/green buttons: learning 3 keyboard shortcuts will free you from that entire struggle. You are faster if you combine keyboard shortcuts with cursor moves. You can close an app or window with your left hand, meanwhile your cursor is on its way for the next task. Dual yield :)
Since I've been using my laptop I find annoying using my mouse on my desktop, it's just annoying not having the thing under my space bar and having to switch the position of my hands to make any movement.
I am just starting with my track pad 2 today and I really liking some of the function so far and shortcuts that it provides. Currently I still have my mouse connected and experimenting with using the track pad and mouse together. I will see after a few days how it feels.
Hey there, you love the trackpad gestures ! Have you tried better touch tools? Highly recommend it for the trackpad for endless customization ! Thanks for tuning in !
I've been the trackpad v1 for over 12 years and have not used the regular mouse except when I play Starcraft 2. Misclick??? Inaccurate clicks?? Those are words I never even think about using the trackpad. I never want to use a mouse because the trackpad is infintely more precise. Maybe because I've been using it for so long without a mouse and maybe because you are more of a mouse person than a trackpad user.
Hey Andrew, to a certain extent. Mouse has better precision control (FPS games use gaming mices with high sensitivity (Dpi), you just don't see people e-sport gaming with a trackpad for precision control)and yes... I have used mouse for more than 15 years plus since i was a kid. Only until recently using the trackpad (loved the gesture controls for simplicity of life)
@@kendidshoots haha this reminds me of the fight I had with my colleague where we tried to prove our mouse was better than the trackpad and vice versa. Funnily I was on the side of the mouse. I guess it all depends on the application and "accuracy" isn't really a factor. For coding, photo and video editing, I'd go for the trackpad and/or graphic tablet. It's simply more natural and comfortable. For gaming it's mouse of course. I do use a high DPI Razer mouse and it sits beside my trackpad of course. Since I am a software developer, the trackpad is used most of the time.
great video my friend and I actually never thought about using both my Logitech G05 and the Trackpad together before,That a super cool idea Thank you so much 🙂 Im going to try it with Video editing.
Hey there! Glad you found another desk setup to try out ! Pretty intuitive, if your mouse have a bunch of keyboard shortcuts that you dont need any key presses from t he keyboard would be dope during video editing !! Thanks for stopping by, appreciate it a lot !
I use trackpad for usual browsing, mouse for work, and a trackball mouse for my other gig because its slower and a smoother pace for drawing lines on charts lol.
Hey there sorry for immensely late reply! Agreed, I am also switching back and forth several peripherals at the moment (trackball included) and I'm looking forward to share it soon ps: first person in the comment section to know about trackball review XD
Great video very helpful in choosing weather or not to buy the Apple Trackpad. Going to give it a try with the Apple Magic Mouse/ Keyboard combo. Hitting Apple Store tomorrow it looks like!
You have to try to replace the trackpad on the middle under the space button like in MacBook. If you will use it with hotkeys it will be another experience because you will not replace your right hand from trackpad to keyboard all the time
Hey there sorry for the late reply !! I have tried it, and I found myself accidentally touching the trackpad from time to time when typing on the space bar, so I went with the right side hybrid setup. Tho, it didnt last for long XD
You need to ditch the logitech keyboard for a via/qmk enabled low profile with a knob or even 3... Leaving logitech behind was the best keyboard decision ever. The Keychron k3 pro or max would suit you perfectly.
All of the trackpads motion gestures can be emulated in Logitechs higher end mice, using their Logi software, these mice have a gesture button just for this!
Thank you for your perspective. I wonder, is there a noticable difference between trackpad on the mac and the trackpad device itself? I want to ad to my set up the trackpad beacuse of the head from my mac. Thank you for your answers:)
Yoooo, Its the exact same trackpad, except this Magic trackpad is almost identical. Not sure if there are bigger trackpads on the bigger inch macbooks. The only difference tho, is the ergonomics using the trackpad that is below your keyboard on the macbook VS the trackpad *beside your keyboard... Apart from that the gestures and all are all the same!
Hey Peter, not saying trackpad is better than a regular mouse or the other. Just my personal preference of using a mouse vs trackpad! Both are great devices
@@jinraigami3349 Hey Jin, but have you tried BetterTouchTool for the next level gesture controls? HAHHAHA its amazing. Keyboard gestures cant compete with the trackpad, they are built different XD
@@kendidshoots Ah. If you are talking about using that, it is different story. Anyway, the best tool is the one that helps you get things done fast and efficiently. If it works for you, no one can have a say in it. Cheers and enjoy.
Been using a setup with my Windows laptop connected to a monitor with a mouse and I hate using trackpads for clicking anything but gesture controls like especially zooming in and out the trackpad is unbeatable. In fact I'm about to buy a desktop and noticed like nobody at all sells a separate trackpad that I can find to be used with a desk which is weird because Windows 11 is really optimized for touch and gesture now like it's basically same as Macos now.
Hey Vincent ! I know right, wondering why didnt Window release a trackpad system knowing that most laptop have trackpads that can easily port over some settings and gestures. So far, only Apple produces trackpads. Additionally, you can connect the trackpad to a Windows machine, but not with the full gesture control support. ol
SO DO I ! i'm looking to build a tray for my desktop / work setup with a keyboard and a trackpad in front of it to be able to be faster (mostly on data management i used to be way faster on laptop)
@@kendidshoots Windows 11 + Apple Magic TrackPad is supporting all necessary gest. You only need to get the extracted Windows Drivers from Bootcamp. I am using right ow Win11+MagicTrackPad and it is awesome. Three days and is very useful.
My left hand is in pain due to lengthy editing and mouse-clicking hours. It hurts my fingers when I click. Will this trackpad help, and do you recommend Apple Magic Trackpad 3 instead of 2? Tnx
I just bought the magic trackpad and after 20 minutes of use my wrist is hurting. I think if you want to get it you should look for devices to rest your palm (i mean, considering you have had wrist/finger pains before)
I wonder how this will pair with my trackball. I do love the gestures on a laptop. I'm left-handed, but ambidextrous on a mouse. I think I'm going to copy your hybrid setup, but with a trackball on my right.
Hey, I’m a student and I was wondering if it will be too much for school. I’m a premed student and I do not want to ruin my new Magic Keyboard in-built mouse. What do you suggest for me please? A regular Magic Mouse? Or this TrackPad? I do not want something that’ll seem too much.
I'm curious about something. What would be the best track pad you'd suggest for Samsung Galaxy Tab? Would the apple magic trackpad be compatible? I saw some trackpads from Logitech or Brydge, but I'm not really sure they'd work with Android, hence the curiosity for the Apple Trackpad. Keep up with the good work
Hey there, trackpad world I may not be familiar, especially on android devices... Logitech to my surprised made a trackpad in 2012, and never updated it since... (T650 logitech) you can search it up. But Apple's trackpad works as good as on windows or other devices, gesture supports are at the most basic of course, you would also need to add some drivers on windows for the full functionality. Won't recommend it on android devices tho :
2:35 struggle with precision?? You can try to slow the cursor speed you know that right? I've been using my Trackpad since 2013, never had any issues with precision. In watching your little demonstration, I can say your cursor moves significantly faster than mine does. Your cursor looks like it's out of control the way it's whizzing around.
Hey, yeah got it. Thanks for the feedback. I set my trackpad cursor speed to be fast for a one glide to reach coverage of most parts of the screen. Precision wise, I’m not down playing it saying it’s bad, was just emphasising that compared to gaming mice, they are less precise… its why no pro gamer uses a trackpad for their competition aye?
Yo, think I was trying to say being a long term mouse user instead of a trackpad, after even using the trackpad for a year, I still find that an actual mouse is more accurate. Explains why Gaming on the PC never promotes trackpads right ? It’s always a gaming mouse for higher sensitivity and click accuracy. I misclick a lot during video editing when fine tuning scales, adjustments etc, still prefer swapping over to a mouse for fine “more accurate clicking tasks” don’t get me wrong, trackpad gesture control for editing on the a video timeline is phenomenal, I still use it 😱 hope it’s clear
Thanks for this video. Dude I have a question, I have an old upgrades MacBook Pro mid 2012 without usb c. How can I charge the battery of this Magic Trackpad 2 I’m thinking to buy it. But I don’t know how I can plug it in the computer Thank you.
Hey, I have that Logitech keyboard in my cart currently.. would you suggest buying it/it’s cons? Also not sure about it coz I want one with numeric keys but Apples one expensive AF
WELL !! If you use the numpad every single day, then a full sized keyboard will do you better. Note that a an external numpad only peripheral is available too, so you don't HAVE to get a full sized keyboard. Else, the K380 keyboard is quite the bang for your buck
What annoys me the most is how Synaptics built into their own software for Windows almost all these gesture controls for Windows since Vista was released, Windows also has many of these features implemented in Windows 7 but so few touchpads make use of them and are subpar compared to Apple Trackpad that using these features are pointless, I come across only one or two trackpads on laptops that can come close, surprisingly thats the one of the two things I like about Apple, their trackpads and their screens, nothing else is worthy to mention but these two features alone.
@@kendidshoots The movement is different - there's less stress on some fingers, so I'd say it uses different parts of your hand. To prevent RSI, best to switch back and forth between a trackpad and mouse (for a wider range of repetitive movements which will in turn reduce repetition overall).
Hey Germaine, it was a good experience! Budget option, has a Delete Key and being able to change between 3 devices is indeed convenient. I’m mowing using the Magic keyboard… although having a very nice typing experience, I think the Logitech is a bit more value to consider hahahaha
@@kendidshoots alright thank you will consider! I’m using the M1 MacBook Pro 16” and it seems like it isn’t compatible with the normal magic keyboard, only the one with Touch ID which will really break the bank
Hey Farhan, tough question! Been using the MX Master 3 a couple of months now, like the ergonomics of it, horizontal scroll is very very useful, but I’ve also tried the Magic Mouse for a couple of days, didnt really like the grip on the flat Magic Mouse. But for the all in one gesture + precise cursor control, I might give it another shot sometime in the future ! Short answer : MX master 3 😂
@@joee374 yeahh for sure. However I came across a comfy ergo grip to be added on the Magic mouse for comfort. Not sure how that one turns out to be... and not to mention the way you charge the Magic Mouse 2 is a complete joke :D (if you get what I mean)
Ahh, the Magic Mouse yea? Had some time with it, tho it didn't use it long enough to judge the ergonomics.. The grip is horrible, but comes with simple gesture controls that some might think it's convenient.
Hey there, ngl, I haven't been really using both the Trackpad and the Mouse together a whole bunch to make a video, unfortunately. I grow back to using the mouse a lot more, and occasionally reminded that I have a trackpad and use it mainly for video editing. Non-theless, i will consider making a video soon enough (hopefully)
Hi.. I have been reading that this trackpad is possible to connect with the Windows 10.. Did you ever tried to test that and would you please share your experience, if yes.. Thank you in advance.
Hey Sarah !! Yes I have connected the trackpad to Windows 10 thru bluetooth as per normal. But as expected, gesture controls are not working since some drivers are missing. There are some people on some forum talking about manually installing some apple drivers for gesture controls. But I was lazy XD for sure you will be able to navigate thru windows 10 no problem, just that gesture controls are missing ! Let me know if you require anything else!
Hey there terribly sorry for missing the comment. Sorry, I never came to a conclusion with the hybrid setup as I reviewed many other setups. Will definately look into it if I ever have the time
I'm confused why nobody is combining the trackpad and keyboard into 1 device. If you are sitting on a couch and trying to use, there is no flat surface for the trackpad.
Hey John, in case you didnt know there are 3rd party magic keyboard + trackpad like (Magic Bridge) to hold both devices together. And as for the trackpad, it's more usable than traditional mouse? You don't need surface to glide to move the cursor even if the surface is not flat. HAHA
Heyy, agree to disagree XD Most people in the comments are saying trackpads are better with accuracy. But personally, I feel mouse is more accurate. However, trackpad gestures are too good to give up ! 😵
whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy are you reviewer never do the pinch zoom apan and rotate canvas test on A FUCKING TRACKPAD REVIEW?
erm? misclicking coz trackpads are not the most accurate cursor control? Dont think you see gamers using trackpad for FPS games.. right? LOL Don't think I needa seek help too

Hey there tut, yeah after all this years I’m stil not familiar or don’t really like the layout
@@kendidshoots i have the mx keys mini now and it was the best fpr me from first second on
2:35 struggle with precision?? You can try to slow the cursor speed you know that right? I've been using my Trackpad since 2013, never had any issues with precision. In watching your little demonstration, I can say your cursor moves significantly faster than mine does. Your cursor looks like it's out of control the way it's whizzing around.
Hey, yeah got it. Thanks for the feedback. I set my trackpad cursor speed to be fast for a one glide to reach coverage of most parts of the screen.
Precision wise, I’m not down playing it saying it’s bad, was just emphasising that compared to gaming mice, they are less precise… its why no pro gamer uses a trackpad for their competition aye?
Outstanding video brother. New sub!
I don't get the miss-clicking point. Is the trackpad better for not miss-click or was it the mouse?
Yo, think I was trying to say being a long term mouse user instead of a trackpad, after even using the trackpad for a year, I still find that an actual mouse is more accurate. Explains why Gaming on the PC never promotes trackpads right ? It’s always a gaming mouse for higher sensitivity and click accuracy.
I misclick a lot during video editing when fine tuning scales, adjustments etc, still prefer swapping over to a mouse for fine “more accurate clicking tasks” don’t get me wrong, trackpad gesture control for editing on the a video timeline is phenomenal, I still use it 😱 hope it’s clear
Hi. Can’t find your trackpad customized video.
Can you share link when you are free. 😊
Hey there, here you go! if you end up liking my setup, drop me a DM on instagram, I will share my preset !

Thanks for this video. Dude I have a question, I have an old upgrades MacBook Pro mid 2012 without usb c. How can I charge the battery of this Magic Trackpad 2 I’m thinking to buy it. But I don’t know how I can plug it in the computer Thank you.
Well, buy a usb C wall charger.
Hey, I have that Logitech keyboard in my cart currently.. would you suggest buying it/it’s cons? Also not sure about it coz I want one with numeric keys but Apples one expensive AF
WELL !! If you use the numpad every single day, then a full sized keyboard will do you better. Note that a an external numpad only peripheral is available too, so you don't HAVE to get a full sized keyboard. Else, the K380 keyboard is quite the bang for your buck
@@kendidshoots thank you
What annoys me the most is how Synaptics built into their own software for Windows almost all these gesture controls for Windows since Vista was released, Windows also has many of these features implemented in Windows 7 but so few touchpads make use of them and are subpar compared to Apple Trackpad that using these features are pointless, I come across only one or two trackpads on laptops that can come close, surprisingly thats the one of the two things I like about Apple, their trackpads and their screens, nothing else is worthy to mention but these two features alone.
My OCD was attacked, black keyboard, white trackpad and grey mouse
can you recommend other bluetooth trackpads that support Mac gestures that are cheaper?
Hey there, sorry I’m not too sure third party trackpads for Mac OS honestly !! But I’ll look into it sometime
is it compatible with windows with all the same features?
Hey Hey sorry for the super late reply. Yes gesture controls are broken when using the trackpad with windows. Hahaha
Though it actually reduces RSI.
The trackpad pretty much functions the same as a conventional mouse compared to vertical mouse or trackballs imo.
ps: sorry for the late reply !!
@@kendidshoots The movement is different - there's less stress on some fingers, so I'd say it uses different parts of your hand. To prevent RSI, best to switch back and forth between a trackpad and mouse (for a wider range of repetitive movements which will in turn reduce repetition overall).
nice
inserts Nice Meme
can we use finger sleeve on track pad
Side question, how do you find the Logitech keyboard 🤣 I am thinking of buying it to go with my trackpad 2
Hey Germaine, it was a good experience! Budget option, has a Delete Key and being able to change between 3 devices is indeed convenient. I’m mowing using the Magic keyboard… although having a very nice typing experience, I think the Logitech is a bit more value to consider hahahaha
@@kendidshoots alright thank you will consider! I’m using the M1 MacBook Pro 16” and it seems like it isn’t compatible with the normal magic keyboard, only the one with Touch ID which will really break the bank
What are your thoughts on magic mouse 2 vs MX master 3?
Hey Farhan, tough question! Been using the MX Master 3 a couple of months now, like the ergonomics of it, horizontal scroll is very very useful, but I’ve also tried the Magic Mouse for a couple of days, didnt really like the grip on the flat Magic Mouse. But for the all in one gesture + precise cursor control, I might give it another shot sometime in the future !
Short answer : MX master 3 😂
Agreed, the ergonomics of the magic mouse is just awful
@@joee374 yeahh for sure. However I came across a comfy ergo grip to be added on the Magic mouse for comfort. Not sure how that one turns out to be... and not to mention the way you charge the Magic Mouse 2 is a complete joke :D (if you get what I mean)
What about a trackpad mouse? Like the magic mouse from apple?
Ahh, the Magic Mouse yea? Had some time with it, tho it didn't use it long enough to judge the ergonomics.. The grip is horrible, but comes with simple gesture controls that some might think it's convenient.
You like white or black apple trackpad
I originally wanted the black !! Then I settled with the white and my whole desk setup is white now, I’m happy with it !
@@kendidshoots awesome
What is the tool you use to snap your windows to the side @0:24?
App Store: Magnet
I'm using BetterTouchTools (Snap Area Feature!)
@@dreamsneezer8668 your welcome 😄
Where's your trackpad&mouse review ?
Hey there, ngl, I haven't been really using both the Trackpad and the Mouse together a whole bunch to make a video, unfortunately. I grow back to using the mouse a lot more, and occasionally reminded that I have a trackpad and use it mainly for video editing. Non-theless, i will consider making a video soon enough (hopefully)
Hi.. I have been reading that this trackpad is possible to connect with the Windows 10.. Did you ever tried to test that and would you please share your experience, if yes.. Thank you in advance.
Hey Sarah !! Yes I have connected the trackpad to Windows 10 thru bluetooth as per normal. But as expected, gesture controls are not working since some drivers are missing. There are some people on some forum talking about manually installing some apple drivers for gesture controls. But I was lazy XD for sure you will be able to navigate thru windows 10 no problem, just that gesture controls are missing ! Let me know if you require anything else!
What about the trackpad+mouse experience review?
Hey there terribly sorry for missing the comment.
Sorry, I never came to a conclusion with the hybrid setup as I reviewed many other setups. Will definately look into it if I ever have the time
Honest
Good review
Hey Meow2, appreciate it so much. Thanks for stopping by
Does it get kinda yellow after some time? or still very white, cause i want to buy it but i worry it will get kinda dirty after some use
Sorry for the late reply dude!
It is pure white until now. Did you end up buying 7 months ago? XD
I literally have the same trackpad and keyboard bruh
Ayyyyy budget 👌🏼
@@kendidshoots tbh the k380 is an amazing keyboard
How did you snap a window to the side?
I think he used Better Snap Tool. At least that's what I use to do that. It's great and not too expensive.
I know.. a year late. Terribly sorry !!! BetterTouchTools is the answer !
(scrubbing through all of my un-replied comments rn)
What model keyboard is that?
Logitech K380, sorry for the late reply
wait type-c
Lol, I have exactly the same setup!
trackpad needs aim assist on the X to close windows lol
@@SosepHatfield or CMD + Q 😂
I'm confused why nobody is combining the trackpad and keyboard into 1 device. If you are sitting on a couch and trying to use, there is no flat surface for the trackpad.
Hey John, in case you didnt know there are 3rd party magic keyboard + trackpad like (Magic Bridge) to hold both devices together. And as for the trackpad, it's more usable than traditional mouse? You don't need surface to glide to move the cursor even if the surface is not flat. HAHA
I'm confused why nobody sells a separate trackpad for Windows like at all.
I hate trackpads mouse is better to click stuff
Heyy, agree to disagree XD Most people in the comments are saying trackpads are better with accuracy. But personally, I feel mouse is more accurate. However, trackpad gestures are too good to give up ! 😵
Oh my god i hate this logi tech Keyboard
HAHAHA oh whyyyyy XD
man has an $120 mouse with a $30 keyboard lmao
Ahahahha I later got the Magic Keyboard, relax 😂😂
whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy are you reviewer never do the pinch zoom apan and rotate canvas test on A FUCKING TRACKPAD REVIEW?
yoo calm down yoooooo, I did say I love the trackpad features right XD
Hours spent misclicking? Seek help
erm? misclicking coz trackpads are not the most accurate cursor control?
Dont think you see gamers using trackpad for FPS games.. right? LOL
Don't think I needa seek help too
