The original Trackpad from Apple revolutionized the way we think about computer mice and peripherals in general, so it's no surprise the Apple Magic Trackpad 2 is destined to be even more amazing than the previous generation. Designed to blend seamlessly into your computing lifestyle and decor aesthetic, the Apple Magic Trackpad 2 features Force Touch, which will allow users to apply different levels of pressure depending on what function they would like to perform. Pair this functionality with a built-in rechargeable battery (finally!) and the Apple Magic Trackpad 2 is going to be your new favorite computer peripheral.
30% larger than the previous model, the Apple Magic Trackpad 2 will run for about a month with regular usage before needing to be recharged.
