The Apple Magic Trackpad: A Seamless Pairing with Wireless Keyboard
So if you put them side by side they seem to match up pretty well so indeed it does look like the trackpad is perfectly married to a wireless keyboard now I just want to point out that you certainly can use the trackpad with a keyboard you can certainly use it with the Apple wired keyboard it just doesn't look as seamless as it does does with an Apple wireless keyboard they they are at the same angle so they're fairly close if not the same angle they're very close but of course they're different in thickness because the Apple wired keyboard doesn't have a battery compartment if we look at the side we see they have the same basic design the power button on the right side with the same aluminum chassis of course the trackpad doesn't have buttons on it but they're about the same thickness and to change the batteries all you have to do is use a coin to open these slots on the left side if you look at the back they have the same same glossy plastic with the Apple logo with the rubber feet but on the trackpad they're actually clicking feet so they actually uh do something besides just support the trackpad and they share the same rubber foot design at the top of the device.
Now, Apple also boasts that this is the largest trackpad they've ever produced this is nearly 80% bigger than the trackpad on the MacBook so that gives you more surface area for scrolling rotating zooming pinching whatever to activate this all we have to do is click the power button we see a little light that appears which is just like the wireless keyboard from Apple so right now it's flashing attempting to pair with a computer so I'm going to go over to my iMac and make the connection. Let's go ahead and pair the Bluetooth trackpad I'm going to go up to my Bluetooth control up here and scroll down to set up a Bluetooth device right now it's searching for Bluetooth found my MacBook and now it's found the Apple wireless trackpad so let's click continue congratulation your computer is now set up to use your Bluetooth mouse in order to configure and set up your mouse pad you will need to install a piece of software and you can do this in two ways you can go to support.apple.com frd downloads and download the driver directly or you can run a software update the software update will detect that a new Bluetooth mousepad has been attached and software is needed in this case we're looking for the magic Trackpad and multi-touch update install the software and you will be prompted to restart your computer.
That's where we'll end up now, that we've installed the software let's go to system preferences now we have a control panel for the trackpad so let's open that and here we have something that's very familiar to MacBook users basically a trackpad controller and in the right side we see we have a little demonstration of what each function does. For tap to click this basically allows the user to tap the trackpad instead of pushing down on it to make a selection now dragging allows you to double click on a window which allows you to hold on to it and move it around and when you lift your finger it lets it go.
Now, drag lock allows you to double click on an object drag it around you can lift your finger again place your finger back on the trackpad move it around again and tap again to Let It Go secondary click is basically rightclick so you can choose the bottom right corner or the bottom left corner now two-finger scrolling allows you to scroll an object by using two fingers so you can scroll in any direction and we also have the option to scroll with inertia or without inertia.
Now, rotate allows you to use two fingers to move an image around now pinch open and close allows you to zoom up on images now this is specific to only certain apps screen zoom allows you to work with the uh keyboard to zoom up on the screen of your Mac. Now if you hold down the control key you can use two fingers to scroll in or up now under options you can zoom while holding the control key or you can select a different key option or command when zoomed in the screen image moves either continuously with the pointer only when the pointer reaches an edge or so the pointer is at or near the center of the image and you can also uncheck or check smooth images secondary tap is basically rightclick but instead of using the corners of the trackpad all you have to do is use two fingers now with the three finger gestures you can either swipe to navigate as shown in the demo or you can select dragging the forefinger gesture down activates Expose and the forefinger gesture up hides all windows and swiping left or right will allow you to switch applications so let's see that again four fingers to activate the switcher and then one finger to select.

Unboxing and Demonstration of the Apple Magic Trackpad
Detroit Borg here with an unboxing and demonstration of Apple's new magic Trackpad thanks for watching
"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhello YouTube this is Detroit Borg and today is July 28th 2010 a day after Apple introduced the new magic Trackpad magic Trackpad essentially is an external version of the trackpad built into the MacBooks essentially this will bring some of the multi-touch gesturing features available on the MacBook to a desktop Mac so either you're iMac Mac Mini or Mac Pro now let's just take a look around the box so we have the magic Trackpad Wireless multi-touch trackpad it does connect through Bluetooth on the back we see some of the gesturing features you can use with the trackpad now we can see on the side that it requires Bluetooth enabled Mac computer with Mac OS 10.6.3 or later and the latest software update you'll need an existing keyboard and mouse for setup batteries are included not all applications support multi-touch control so we can see the model number designed by Apple in California and made in China so this is model a1339 just that little time to pull it up you see has this little cardboard cradle you just pull it out inside is the booklet magic track pan so we have a manual also have Bluetooth regulatory certificate limited warranty if we take a look around we see it's just covered in plastic so we have a little sticker up here that warns that you need Mac OS 10 version 10.6.3 plus an Apple Magic trackpad software update and you'll have to go to support. apple.com for downloads let's just pull this open comes right off now this is a glass surface which means it will not wear out if this were plastic uh like they were in previous Mac books it would wear out with use so this should always have the same consistent finish no matter how much you use it on the back of course we have the Apple logo and we have the feet down here and these feet are actually part of the clicking mechanism on the uh trackpad itself so when you press down on the trackpad this is what clicks so you can actually hear clicking here when you press down it clicks on this side we have a power button which is also protected with a little plastic tab let's peel that off looks like a piece of stainless steel just like on the wireless keyboard on the side we have this battery cover which is protected with a plastic tab let's pull that off now to unscrew this all you do is use a uh coin if we look right here we see we need two ablea batteries which should already be included let's open the compartment I'm just going to use a little Penny here on screws there we go here are the batteries let's see what they put in here Energizer batteries of course these are non-rechargeable so these are disposable Apple did release a battery charger which seems to be coming out a few days after this so I'm going to go pick that up as soon as that becomes available and I'll use those batteries instead of these at least once these run out Apple says that the magic Trackpad features the same sculpted aluminum design as the app wireless keyboard and side by side the two sit flush at the same angle and height so you can go from typing to gesturing in one motion or uh do both at the same time so let's take a look at that so if you put them side by side they seem to match up pretty well so indeed it does look like the trackpad is perfectly married to a wireless keyboard now I just want to point out that you certainly can use the trackpad with keyboard you can certainly use it with the Apple wired keyboard it just doesn't look as seamless as it does does with a Apple wireless keyboard they they are at the same angle so they're fairly close if not the same angle they're very close but of course they're different in thickness because the Apple wired keyboard doesn't have a battery compartment if we look at the side we see they have the same basic design the power button on the right side with the same aluminum chassis of course the trackpad doesn't have the buttons on it but they're about the same thickness and to change the
