  • I would rather lose my hands than be subjugated into using something this ridiculous.

    Mouse4lyfe

  • Hey Soldier, thanks again for another informative video. I was thinking of buying one, now after your video, I shall. I can not wait to see your full review. Your videos are always very clear and professional. Later,

  • I didn't know that the base of the trackpad had two buttons - I thought those thingies at the bottom were just to protect my desk. So, thank you, thank you. I searched everywhere on Google before thinking about checking out YouTube but now I know how to do a cut and paste.

  • Hey soldier, which app did you use to record such an awesome screen cast?

  • nice vid man, like always ;)

  • i like this show...but he's fucking ugly man

  • Anyone think the operate speed of the magic trackpad could faster than a mouse?????

  • nice vid..thanks very informative

  • i am getting on of those and an apple keyboard for my ipad i will update after christmas if i like it

  • PS - I just got one and I think it ROCKS. Very HID (human interface device.) But I need to 1. learn that circular zoom-in on the icons in the dock; and 2. I need to get that way cool desktop background that you are using!

  • Love your videos, SKB. I send my friends, because you spiel it real. Kee them coming and God Bless. - YQ

  • you play starcraft 2?! I never knew!!

  • Nice video. Useful item. I am planning to grab this crazy deal from amazon

    amazon.com/dp/B003XIJ3MW/?tag=­gadadige-20

  • If you buy a trackpad do you also need a mouse or does it completely take over from it?

  • can this mouse work with hp laptops?or just apple?

  • @moto815 maybe you can google for some unofficial drivers...but you better buy a graphic table, with that money...more, you'll have the potential of the gestures but can't use it on windows...so why? well today i bought one for my imac and it's awesome!!

  • Works best With Mac.

    Sucks with XP and Vista.

    Its limited on Windows 7.

  • The track pad is aluminum and i went to the apple store to try it and it didnt work!!

  • If you turn up the vid quality and look at his facebook page , you can see his brother eating a traditional african meal if you know what I mean ;)

  • Is the trackpad aluminium or plastic? btw nice video!

  • Do you have an iMac?

  • Do I really need to see the same bloody movie trailer for every youtube video I click on? Maybe I'll boycott your movie!

  • i still think the mouse is better, i dont know, the trackpad is like a touchpad, and the mouse have more precision than that and i think is more agil, the trackpad bring some interesting things like preview and foward pages, but the mouse is aparently faster and precisely (sorry about my english)

  • would a mouse be better or a trackpad be better for an adobe user

  • wait cant you "overzoom"?

  • useless

  • Nice video, could you please show us how it looks like when you try to game with that thing?

  • Thanks so much! this video really helped me a lot! THANK YOU!

  • Think Differently.

    Thumps up for The Simpsons

  • Great video soldier, convinced me to buy one....

  • I just bought one. I love it !!!

  • Dear Soldier knows best,

    how do you get your dock maginified and have that red circle around when you open an applacition

  • @MrSamkerr123 The dock magnification is done somewhere in system preferences (i dont remember where in preferences but i used to have a mac) and the red circle is from his screen recording software

  • Haha, only just noticed the SC2 logo you got there :P would very much like to kick your ass on the ladder one day Soldier. Fear the Protoss.

  • Loving the Team Fortress 2 in the dock... CLASSIC

  • Thanks for sharing ... it was very helpful ...

    Cheers, André

  • Thinking of getting one of these, I also bought ScreenFlow today, which I presume you use? :P

  • I'm gettng the Magic Trackpad in 2013 with the 12-Core Mac Pro & the 27" LED Cinema Display from Apple! :)

  • Do u prefer the magic trackpad or the magic mouse?What do u suggest to a pc user?

  • @matsas16193

    I would buy a mouse with buttons, and who knows, might just find a use for the trackpad.

  • @matsas16193 to get a mac?

  • @GIBSONLESPAULFREAK1 Soon as possible men!Just have to collect some more money!

  • @matsas16193 neither

  • @matsas16193 i think that you will do a mistake buing those stuff for a pc.... that cool stuff works only on macs, i think

  • @TheIncredibleHulk97 I know men!But soon as possible i'll buy a mac!That's why im asking!

  • @matsas16193i've got an a magic mouse and i used to love it. But now i hate it. 2 reasons: it's very easy to broke it and lion. With the new os lion you can do a lot of cool stuff with the trackpad and so it's a magic experience. So, in my opinion you have to take a trackpad if you have osx lion. And than, if you are a gamer you can buy a logitech mouse for 10€, so you use the trackpad for internet and stuff and the cheap mouse for games (that is way better than the magic mouse).

  • @TheIncredibleHulk97 Thanks for the advice men!I think u are right!I can just buy a cheap mouse and also have the trackpad!I think that's what im going to do as soon as i buy a mac!

  • @matsas16193 i'm glad you are buying a mac, it's the best computer ever. I'm also happy for you cause this solution (trackpad+cheap mouse) is the best solution! i'm happy to have helped you...

  • @matsas16193 You cannot use this on a PC unless you buy a bluetooth detector because PCs (Unlike Mac) does not come with one built-in.

  • @matsas16193 does it even work with a pc ?? windows ??

  • @scrunchable it does on windows7

  • @matsas16193 The Magic Mouse is the best one ;)

  • @skew96 Thanks for ur suggestion men!I think so, too!

  • @matsas16193 Magic mouse as there isnt much you can do with the multitouch gestures you get from magic trackpad on windows

  • Comment removed

  • @matsas16193 MAGIC TRACKPAD! The magic mouse has crap BATTERY LIFE!!!

  • Thanks for the demo! Couldn't even find something like this on Apple's site... they should hire you! ;-)

  • Whats your steam ID?

  • Okay, how bad are you in the video, which we need to see your face in the explanation, estaria perfecto si no aparecieras en el

  • did you accept the friend invite on facebook on 1:11?

  • i hate those stupid things

  • Nice vid dude. Good review. I'm getting one

  • works on pc ? i have a microsoft pc and a windows

  • @Mr2PacsFather NO, it's not

  • @oribali1 what can i find similar ? liek a keyboard with a mouse touchpad pelase

  • FRANK MIR!!! LOL

  • have never tried it, but i guess it's ok for browsing etc, not for working on photoshop or playing games..right??

  • @RPatatinis When I use photoshop or play any games, it seems to work just as great as a mouse. It's just less motion with your arm, and more with just your hand.

    I find it much easier, and slicker.

  • Ordered today! 

  • Technology

  • It looks way too complicated to me...

  • why hello there mark watson

  • There is a 3rd party app called Jitouch, that really utilizes the multi-touch features of the apple trackpad. It's basically "keyboard shortcuts" but for a trackpad, and you can even assign keyboard shortcuts to gestures on the trackpad.

  • ive bought mine today and damn, i dont think im going back to my magic mouse

  • Nice job on the video, bro!

  • what about games ?

  • apple is really clever. its just a bigger version of the touchpad of usual laptop. thats the way to make money. hahaha

  • I've watched both of your videos for the magic mouse and the trackpad which one would you recommend because i will spend $70 but not $140 for both-thanks

  • whats that app call that lets u play games online

    ?

  • hey, what program do u use, to create a video with the 3 screens: You, the pad and the mac? I love your channel,

    Thanx

  • I wonder if the trackpad is comfortable to play games with on mac

  • do you play starcraft 2 with the trackpad? i noticed the icon in you dock.

  • mac is awesome!

  • Lol at the copy of windows in the background xD

  • who zooms in on a webpage? ever??

  • @zippyzee 

  • @zippyzee lots of people with bad vision use the zoom feature

  • i whip my three fingers back and forth.

  • @dinoderp I WHIP MAH FINGERS BACK N FORTH

  • hey this going to sound really odd, but will the trackpad work with a macbook? just currious, thanks

  • @Element12463 yes

  • love mine!

  • good video, nicely done and helpful

  • hate commercials -.-

  • OMG its so ''magic'' ! These were on laptops in the 90's.

  • @didzels12 Whateveeeer! it's not meant to be "Revolutionary" it's just something to make using you're PC more fun! now fuck off fangirl!

  • @didzels12 youre right, but when did they start making them for desktops? the idea is to give people the functionality theyre used to over on the laptop to the desktop.

  • BRAVO VERY VERY USEFULLLLLLL

  • BRAVO BERY BERY USEFULLLLLLL

  • 0:01

  • Cool i want one xD

    Nice video!

  • we can spend our money on this OR we can get ourselves a Wacom bamboo pen tablet for the same price.

  • very nicely done video. keep it up

  • OnLive? do you use that? any reviews on it perhaps?

  • @The120DaysofSodom Lol,its wierd how you commented about that right befor he made the video. xD

  • hah... apple... its like buying an expensive designer clothes that has the same quality as a cheaper non branded clothes with same quality.

  • @yaykaboom I hear what you're saying about the non-branded clothes, but are these non-branded clothes you're talking about, of the same quality?

  • Comment removed

  • This already looks like the review. Why make another video?

  • Fiorina Ad - Are you F'n Kidding me? WTF? 

  • You look funny. I like your video's though. Ilike your video's and the ones of jon4lakers from TechnoBuffalo. I heard you are friends. (FaceTime call)

  • @robertdevald your mom looks funny

  • STARCRAFT 2!!!!

  • I work with the computer. I use a trackball mouse and I developed a bad repetitive strain injury which doesn't get any better even on medication. Do you think this trackpad might help me?

  • i need US army edition Pureedge for DA/DD/FC FORMS and such but i don't want windows parallel, help.

  • I love my track pad

  • i still dont understand who the hell would buy this... i can barely stand this the few times im stuck without a mouse on a laptop let alone using it full time...

  • The trackpad is just an overprices piece of shit. It doesn't work well, it's annoying working with it, and you pay more then you should for one of these things...

  • @darknessfood well get used to apple lol all of there things are overpriced but not all shit lol if thats how you put it! XD

  • I like my trackpad. I couldn't comfortable return to a mouse

  • YESSS he owns starcraft 2

  • A total waste, i can by a $5 mouse that do all these things too... $69, what a joke.

  • @Sammaniac90 Show me ONE $70 mouse which is 4 fingers touch sensitive, looks great, has BLUETOOTH, and has 12 gestures/functionality, and works with Mac and Windows. Bet you can't find any, and for $5 the BEST you can get are those mini optical mouses which cost $10 at Wal-Mart but are sold $5 because of their Rollback prices promotion...

  • @newmacboy Don't take everything literally... You miss my point.

  • yo i just found out one of those is on my laptop!!! it is so awesome right???!!!??? XD

  • @iamarocker1001 i must know what laptop u have that supports multi touch

  • @1mic1beat The two new Airs have it.

  • @iamarocker1001

    I KNOW THATS SOOO AWESOME

  • @iamarocker1001 lmfao...

  • @iamarocker1001 Can you get it to your desktop PC? Huh

  • @oribali1 believe me u dont want one of these on ur desktop computer. they're annoying as hell

  • Well done video. Good job Soldier.

  • I too, still prefer mouse. In situations like 3D modeling , It saves time.

  • this sucks wtf

  • i buy portable mice so my mother would NEVER find me with my dick in one hand and an unclosed/unpaused porn video... so u can see why i dont think this is a useful invention...

  • @eatmyshorts2007 fucking oath bro

  • @eatmyshorts2007 i'm taking it that you are a girl?

  • Thank god man!!!! U are the 1st reviewer that has actually reviewed and demo'd it without just saying "I like it.. Its good...its nice to use casue its slim and fits your hand( heard of Ergonomics) ....

    good work man...loved it

    .....i will check one out from your recommendation!

  • Is the trackpad annoying with a big iMac Screen? I have 24" iMac late 2009

  • My friend has this, its a cool gadget but its so ANNOYING.....your hand gets so tired

  • Nice..

  • Guys ever thought of an ifuck on an iapple iprostitute

  • you make the best videos. ;)

  • they should build it bigger and wider. then it would worth the price.

  • im diggin it! i might have to get me one of them

  • what the fuck is the point, buy a fucking laptop and use the pad? duh?

  • @Haloren17 Some people don't want laptops or can't get them because they need more power but like the intuitiveness of a unibody trackpad. Ever think of that? ya idiot.

  • It's a god dam flat freaking mouse! What is wrong with you people?I'll wait for iMac touch. Stop buying all this crap! Wait for next year, save your money instead of wasting it in more useless accessories.

  • good,nice..................!

  • But Will it blend?

  • @ZacDaMan72 That is the Question!

  • Pretty nice. I think Ill stick with the Magic mouse for now. But here pretty soon I might get this to play movies from a Mac Mini to our TV off a hard drive and the trackpad would be much easier than a mouse if you were sitting on a couch.

  • i think im going to stick to my magic mouse

  • I've been using it in the apple store in san francisco, and I liked it alot!

  • @variant126 by watching thus video u just got this NIGGER paid hahahaha

  • @tjonesboi013 No.

  • @variant126 Yea you did and you commented so he got even more money.

  • @SGTBLACK0UT You really don't know how the internets workz, i bet you're a stupid nigger also.

  • @variant126 No, YOU don't know how youtube partnership works. Every time you look at one of his videos, every time you comment he gets money because he's a youtube partner, fucktard.

  • @SGTBLACK0UT Nah not really, he doesn t get money for a single comment maybe for each 100-1000 so shut up you nigger <3

  • @variant126 you just gave him more money LMAO

  • @SGTBLACK0UT lol nope, tard.

  • Hey soldier, just purchased one, but it requires a new update...

  • what screen cap do u use??

  • Hey Mark, I've been watching your videos for a while and I bought one of these yesterday and when I try to go to the trackpad section in system preference it doesn't connect... Any suggestions?

  • @ssaier813 i had the same problem, then i read to manual. you have to go to apples website and download the trackpad update. its found on the first page of the manual, it tells you where to go to update the software.

  • Apple is the best!!!! It just has a lot of expensive products!!!! GO APPLE!!

  • Thanks for the straightforward video!

    What kind of superfastMac do you have?
