- Hey, my name is Jerry and I couldn't help myself.
(upbeat music)
Where to begin.
Yeah, it's true.
I bought the space gray Magic Mouse 2.
And the space gray trackpad.
Just for use with my iPad, after I suggested
that you should not go buy a Magic Mouse just for use
with your iPad, but I'm not necessarily a rational person.
And I wanted these just because they simply looked better
with my iPad than the white Magic Mouse that I had.
The black Magic Mouse provides absolutely nothing more
than the white one that I have already.
It scrolls up and down.
The whole top is touch sensitive.
You got the same ridiculous charging port
on the bottom, the on off switch,
the built-in battery and it gets super fingerprinting.
And I've been trying to think
of logical reasons that I could say
on this video for why I bought it, but I simply have none.
The trackpad on the other hand actually
has a lot of great benefits for me.
The trackpad built into the iPad magic keyboard
is pretty small and cramped.
It's ridiculous, and it's difficult to maneuver
and do gestures on with three fingers or whatever.
But with this guy it's oversized and it's huge.
It's actually comically large, but it allows plenty
of room for full hand gestures, three fingers, two fingers
whatever for switching apps
and moving around and editing video and LumaFusion.
I can actually scrub through the timeline incredibly quickly
with this and accurately to find the places I need to cut
and to remove clips and add clips and things like that.
So it's really nice for things like that
and for using gestures.
The other thing about this magic trackpad is
that it uses Force Touch.
So just like on the Mac books and Mac book pros
there is no physical click on these things.
You can push it when the power is off
and nothing happens, when the power is on
and when they it's connected to the device
it does the same thing that the Mac book pros do
where it tricks your brain
into thinking that you're actually clicking a button.
It uses haptic feedback and pressure sensitivity.
So, when you press it senses the pressure
it makes a clicking sound and it vibrates making you think
that you clicked a button when you actually didn't.
So, I actually liked this more than I thought I would.
And it's actually so much easier to click
than it is on the iPad magic keyboard.
The iPad magic keyboard uses a physical button
which works a little bit differently
from most other trackpads on laptops
and most other trackpads it's kinda a wedge shape.
So, the top of the keyboard is up here
and the bottom of the trackpad is down here.
And when you press it, it kinda rocks like that.
Well, this doesn't do that.
This has a new physical mechanism
that you can press anywhere on the trackpad.
Just like you can on the magic trackpad.
However, it is a physical click
and it uses some kind of assembly that does a weird motion.
I don't know, I fixed it, did a tear down of it.
It's pretty cool,
but this is actually much quieter to click on
and much easier to click on.
It doesn't require nearly as much force
as the trackpad does on the iPad magic keyboard.
(trackpad clicking)
So, overall I really liked these devices.
I really liked the color.
I really like the size of this magic trackpad,
however, it is irrational to go out
and buy these devices just for use with an iPad
especially when you already have a mouse
or trackpad available.
But you know, this is not
a channel just for rational people.
So, anyway thanks for watching.
