Magic Mouse 2, Magic Trackpad 2, and Magic Keyboard updates


a new lineup of wireless accessories including the all-new Magic Keyboard, Magic Mouse 2 and Magic Trackpad 2. The Magic devices have been redesigned to feel more comfortable than ever, and feature rechargeable batteries that completely eliminate the need for disposable batteries. The new Magic Trackpad 2 also brings Apple's revolutionary Force Touch interface to the desktop

Magic Trackpad 2 with Force Touch is pretty interesting. The addition of Force Touch bring the new interface to the desktop (currently available on new MacBook), in addition to the distinction between Force Touch and 3D Touch on the new iPhones. Like with the MacBook, Apple says the Force Touch "detects the subtle differences in the amount of pressure," so there is gradient levels of detection, but apparently not to the extend of 3D Touch.

Also, it makes sense that Apple is making its input devices all rechargeable rather than dealing with removable batteries.

Pricing is $79 for the Magic Mouse 2, $99 for the Magic Keyboard and $129 for the Magic Trackpad 2. The new Magic Trackpad 2 seems a little steep up from $69, so I'm guessing Force Touch is a major factor.
