I've had mine for years. Never noticed a scratch.
I noticed there's no quoted battery life for the Mouse... The track pad is more expensive.
I was interested in the keyboard and a trackpad refresh until i saw the european prices. 119€ and 149€. Thanks, but no thanks Apple. And btw. where is the 4K Thunderbolt display?
No USB-C on the new iMac's, strange. I thought they were really going to start pushing that across all there lines (in addition to the standard USB connections of course).
I'm surprised they didn't re-brand Force Touch to 3D Touch with the new Magic Trackpad. Seems like a great time to get rid of the name that seemed to not be well-received. 3D Touch is a much better name for it, and it seems odd that the marketing is different across the products since it is pressure sensitive interactions for each product.
Of course it can't. It should be somewhere in the ballpark of the previous 750M.
Good morning
Wow, pricey - Apple is pricing me out of market. 80 dollars for a mouse???
Still has all that bezel. There's ZERO reason for an iMac to have a bezel. Edge to edge display should be designed by now Jony.
Rechargeable AAs are still the better option. You can use them until they degrade and then replace them (versus the mouse itself). Also, because of where the connector is, you can't use the mouse while it's charging so if you're at an iMac, you'd better have a backup!
Was really hoping they would release pre-order dates for the ATV4 and Ipad Pro alongside this update...
Why use a cable that will be easily accessible for next to nothing instead of their $20 proprietary cables? Unfortunately apple prioritizes profit over user experience.
And you need two in case one dies and has to be recharged!
Edit: didn't know about the 2 minutes 9 hour charge usage.

They also kept the Magic Mouse 2 free of any Force Touch features.
Oh, wow. Only DDR3? Come on Apple, stop skimping. These things are a pretty penny.
I was really hoping for a wireless keyboard version with a 10 key and/or maybe backlit keys.
(I have the logitech k750. but was hoping for an Apple keyboard..that said the Logitech was only $29.00 on sale)
Also, does $129.00 feel a bit much for anyone else for the trackpad?

Looks like I'll have to keep using my $5 Amazon USB one. *sigh*
Kind of disappointed with the updates today. The only one with a meaningful upgrade is the trackpad, but it's now $129.
Are these going to be available in stores today? Want to pick up a new trackpad after work. Not sure how it works when they refresh like this..
Never used the keyboard but it's the same as the new Macbook. According to reviews, a complete failure. Keys have low depth so it seems like you're typing on a screen. Don't see why it was necessary since you don't need to shave a couple millimeters space in a desktop area.
BTO me a 21.5". Apple has finally priced me out of the market. And I didn't even get the option of a dedicated GPU...
I was actually thinking about getting a $79 force touch trackpad, but I just can't justify $129 since I mostly use the Magic Mouse. Plus, I don't like that they made it white.
The Ars Technica review mentions that Apple says a two-minute charge gives nine hours of use. So not a lot of downtime in that case. A full charge is two hours, which lasts a month.
