#MouseVsTrackpad #AppleMagicTrackpad #MXMaster3 - Наука та технологія
The thing about mx master 3 is it keeps waking up my mac (latest Monterey), preventing it from going to sleep. It’s been 5 months now and no one can give me a solution.
Can someone help my guy out? 🤔
There has been an issue with Monterey and Logitech Bluetooth devices, really only solution is to use the USB dongle, until Apple adds the "Allow Bluetooth Devices to wake this computer" option back...
Or try to regularly update the Logitech MX3 software until a fix arrives
Dongle up my man. Use the receiver. It’ll make your logitech equipment blazing fast and work exactly as you expect it to work.
what i do is keep the mouse upside down for sometime and then back up again, which usually solves the problem
I just turn off every time mine.
The most important part about the Apple Trackpad is all the supported gestures you can do there. Many things like switching among full-screen apps or different desktops, using smart zoom, Open Mission Control, or App Expose and any mouse cannot replace them.
There are other gestures I'm not mentioning here because I consider they can be replaced by a mouse. For those reasons, I'll keep using Trackpad
Great viewpoint
You can do that with MX Master 3 as well as you can do and add many gestures in it , but the problem is with the horizontal scroll when you do video editing. MX Master 3 has the scroll but it is too slow and inconvenient at all as it will leave your wrist numb after using a bit, so in the end the Trackpad wins for that.
Thats what hotcorners are for
In short time your are going to blow up. You have great quality video very clear and very well edited videos straight to the point and very likable… keep it up bid👌🏻
Thank you so much!! 😄
So informative and your video quality keep getting better and better!
Thank you!
How comfortable the mouse cursor movement in your ultra-wide monitor using magic trackpad? What do you prefer in this case? I have a 38 inch LG monitor.
Hi
Can you pls let me know how’s trackpad works with windows laptop or dell
something that always overlooked in these videos is space! The advantages of a mouse are limited when you don't have the adequate space to move around! I bought the trackpad and it's such a drastic change in convenience!
Hey that’s a great point! Glad you pointed it out 😄
Great video! Exactly what I was looking for.
I’m glad it helped you out 😄
I’m not trying to replace my mouse. I’m cool with a Apple magic mouse. I just want to know if they trackpad is good enough to run along side my mouse.
I switched to Mac (Base M1 Mac Mini) in January. I have the Logitech MX Ergo Plus Trackball mouse. I just looked on UA-cam for a comparison of trackball vs trackpad without any luck . If anyone can help. please reply with a link. Thanks!
This was a great comparison! It was exactly what I was looking for. I look forward to seeing more of your videos.
Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed, welcome to our tech family 😄
Hey David, thanks for such a cool video! I have a question regarding the trackpad case/stand you have. Can you please share the link for it?
Hello! I just added it to the description of the video. Hope that helps 😄
Que teclado estabas usando, Tiene retro iluminación en las teclas?
what monitor did you use?
What is the slot next to the usbc port?
Your video quality is INSANE. Subbed. 👍
Haha thank you! I’m glad you appreciate it 😄
OMG Thanks david..... I appreciate it for the shoutout man this is the best video I have watch
Of course! Great guess!
Im a trackpad guy because i use my Macbook Pro as my daily computer so going from my Macbook to a desktop set up, using a mouse is too jarring
You’d be surprised how many people just use exclusively a laptop and never a mouse! I feel like some people don’t think about that haha. At least your MacBook Pro has one of the best trackpads in the industry 😄
@@SideofTechmacbook’s trackpad is no joke. Been using MBP 2015 trackpad now upgraded to MBP 2020 still using the trackpad lol.
Can I use the magic in dex mode? With android and windows
I appreciate you doing this video my dude.
My pleasure! 🙌🏼
Great video!!!
Quick question … where did you get the docking case for the trackpad?🔥🔥
This is from Grovemade 😁
Yes, you earned my sub....quality stuff you're putting out
Thank you so much! Welcome to our tech family 😄
Great and helpful video‼️ Keep them rolling. Where did you get the wooden holder for the trackpad..
Hello, thank you so much! It's actually from a company called Grovemade, they make really awesome desk accessories. Hope this helps! 😁
@@SideofTech Thank you for such a prompt reply! That is definitely how you grow ya solid following. I have subscribed and looking forward to more insightful videos. All the Best‼️
My pleasure thank you!
I came looking for the same thing.
Nice one ! What’s the wooden base you are using for trackpad and Magic Keyboard ?
This is from grovemade 👍🏼
Nice video, do you mind letting me know what monitor light you're using please?
The light is from Benq 👍🏼
Hi. Where did you get that lovely trackpad housing? Thanks.
Hello! The housing is from Grovemade, super awesome desk accessories company. Hope this helps! 😄
I have used both and for me it's the magic trackpad. I work in MacOS and Windows via Parallels, and without the quick gestures to swap desktops, my productivity really suffers. I've also found that the trackpad is much better for my wrist and the mx master would create tension in my wrist...this is obviously my own unique physiology which is why the trackpad is the winner *for me*! Great, fair, informative review!
Thanks for your insight! I’m sure a lot of people appreciate it too 🙂
I realize this is old, but it doesn't sound like you have used a product you're criticizing. The MX Master 3 can switch desktops without taking your hand off the mouse.
I’ve realized that using the Trackpad AND mouse in tandem has been an amazing fluid experience.
I have the Magic Trackpad to the left of my keyboard and use it mostly for gestures then I use the mouse for standard.
The true king of this debate is use BOTH, it works great! You do need desk space if you do, but it is very much worth the fluidity
mkbhd has that set up, it is one I have been doing for years and In don't know how more ppl don't use the computer this way, I can't imagine just having a mouse only now especially when the mx master has programmable buttons too and then the gestures of the track pad..ALL AT THE SAME TIME!! ppl need to get on our level
great video! thank you! I'm going to try Magic....
Awesome choice!!
You are just underrated man.
I still couldn't decide which one should I pick but that's really not your fault😅😅
Haha it’s definitely a hard choice!
A comparison which was highly on demand 🙌
I hope it helped!
@@SideofTech definitely it did 🙏🙌
I love the MX Master 3, but recently added the Magic Trackpad. I use both hands running the cursor between to LCD monitors.
Nice setup right? Glad you’re taking advantage of both!
When I started working from home during the pandemic, I got so used to using my Macbooks trackpad that when I went back to a traditional mouse it felt like relearning to ride a bike. The Magic Trackpad is the best option for myself 😊
Thanks for your insight!
Yea those reviews on the mouse is a no go. Reviews are key.
I have the mx master 3 for mac, problem i find, that the oily buildup and fingerprints really start to show on heavy use, it almost looks dirty after a long workday, i end up wiping it clean constantly, it really bugs me, wish they used some different material, not soft that retains every oil you get on your palm. Lime buttons shine at this point, from use, the left and right click ones. Im thinking of ditching it for the trackpad if i am honest.
Totally get it, usually you get this kind of oil buildup with cheaper ABS plastics which is probably what they’re using. Gotta save money in certain places!
@@SideofTech Already paying 100 USD for a bluetooth mouse.
The MX Master's rubber coating turning sticky after a year is horrible and screams, "Buy Another". I like you can buy a Magic Track Pad from five years ago and it can still look and feel 'new'.
@SideOfTech - What wooden holder/mount is your keyboard and track pad sitting on?
This is from grovemade 👍🏼
Bonus Round: the Magic Trackpad works in wired mode so no bluetooth and no charging required. Can the Master 3 do the same?
Yes you can use it while it's plugged in to charge. It's basically a wired mouse at that point.
Nice content and pro shooting clip, Bro! For me, I use both and my table peripheral setting up is gonna be: trackpad on the left, keyboard in centre and MX Master 2S on the right. If you are busy to do the computers tasks and want to be quick with the best movement, try to use it with both side while not typing. Adjusting, move file, click on the right spot, easily as you name it.. They are perfect couple🤔👌. Talking about the price, I have to add more cost to MX 2s which is for buying the Delta Hub Carpio (29.9pounds) as it is quite uncomfortable to use without the wrist rest. One more thing for your structure, I think you would better to make your clips in parts seperately so I could be easier to follow or jump in from the viewers. Peace! 🤟
Just added the chapters for the video, thank you for reminding me! I'm glad you enjoyed! 😀
@@SideofTech btw, i am looking forward to the content of:” which thunderbolt 4 hub and powerbank is the best for mac/ipad currently”. Just an idea 4u 🤔😁
Yeah, I use both as well. Trackpad on left, Logitech MX Keys in the middle, and MX Master 3 mouse on the right. Keyboard and mouse switch between my Mac and Windows laptops using Logitech Flow software, and when forced to work on the Windows laptop I use the laptop trackpad just behind my Apple Magic Trackpad. Both the Logitech mouse and Apple Trackpad are core enough to my workflow that if one is gone I really, really miss it.
where can I get the wrist rest in your video for the track pad?
Hello! The brand is from Delta Hub, this is the Carpio 2.0. Hope this helps!
It's all fun and games until you install better touch tools and unlock the trackpad (and magic mouse 2) secret powers.
Who uses a Mac? How is the track pad with a PC?
Do I need to connect the usb piece from the mouse to my MacBook for use?
If you have a MX 3 that can connect through USB, you should be able to also connect through Bluetooth. Hope this helps!
My plan is to never buy another Logitech product. The last I had, I needed some help. Found out their customer support totally sucks.
i love my Magic mouse for my ipad.
the only downside is that the cursor moves quite slow on the screen, even on the fastest setting.
does the cursor move faster with the Magic trackpad ?
Yes, definitely and you can adjust the sensitivity as well. I covered this topic in a recent video I just made covering this topic of sensitivity if you wanna check it out!
@@SideofTech Thanx !
I am using both. MX Master 3S for Games like Minecraft and the trackpad for the rest.
Nice!
Great comparison! Mx Master is best with Delta Hub Wrist Rest. :D
Thank you! Yes it really is 😄
Is there any other mouse your recommend to share between mac and pc? Or you think MX master 3s is the best?
Hello! With the newest update, the MacOS has been having a lot of Bluetooth problems for me. I would still suggest the MX 3S as it works perfectly with the PC and you can easily switch between Mac and PC, the only thing you have to think about is Bluetooth connection issues between the Mac. What I’ve personally been doing is running a gaming mouse for my Mac and a separate one for my gaming PC. Excessive I know but this is what’s been working for me and it’s been great!
@@SideofTech got you. thanks, and great video
มีข้อดีเสียต่างกัน
mouse มีหลายปุ่มทำหน้าที่เฉพาะอย่างได้ดี scrol เลื่อนลง ทำได้แค่นั้น พร้อมสะดวก ถ้าเลื่อนลงทันที
แต่ TouchPad ต้องใช้การเคลื่ยนไหวมือมากกว่า
- Keyboard FixUi ปรับเปลี่ยนแต่ละปุ่มไม่ได้ ถ้าใส่จอแต่ละปุ่มได้ ยืดหยุ่นขึ้น (? ที่จะยืดหยุ่นได้มากสุด เลือก DNA นั้น แน่นอน จอ ที่แสดงผลได้หลากหลายย่อมได้เปรียบ Physical Keyboard)
แล้ว mouse & toucPad อะไรดีกว่าหล่ะ (เราควรดูที่ /final ? ที่เลื่อนจอได้ดีสุด)
- เทียบ DNA (using smart zoom, Open Mission Control, or App Expose and any mouse cannot replace them. )
There are other gestures I'm not mentioning here because I consider they can be replaced by a mouse. *For those reasons, I'll keep using Trackpad* (TouchPad เชื่อมกับคนได้ดีกว่า)
- something that always overlooked in these videos is space! The advantages of a mouse are limited when you don't have the adequate space to move around! I bought the trackpad and it's such a drastic change in convenience!
(/focus ที่การใช้งานแล้วดู DNA ดีสุด เช่นการเลือกข้อความ copy Pen ง่ายสุด ดีกว่าคลิกลากแน่นอน)
- I work in MacOS and Windows via Parallels, and without the quick gestures to swap desktops, my productivity really suffers. I've also found that the trackpad is much better for my wrist and the mx master would create tension in my wrist...this is obviously my own unique physiology which is why the trackpad is the winner *for me*! Great, fair, informative review!
(ใช้ภาษาผิดบ่อย cursor ไม่บอกใครจะมองบนบ่อยๆ)
do you know any good low latency trackpad alternatives that are for windows 11, or do i need to buy the 130 dollar apple one
Unfortunately I’m not very familiar with the PC market in terms of trackpads. I do know the Apple Magic one does work on it but you won’t have some of the gestures built in due to the OS. Hopefully Microsoft can make one that’s ideal for PC sometime soon 😄
@@SideofTech yeah ive heard theres github software to fix the 3 finger drag features
Which model of screen do you use?
Hello! I currently use the LG 38WN95C, I go over it on my desk setup video if you wanna check it out 😄
Can it be user for gestures like the Magic Mouse ?
Absolutely!
I prefer the trackpad and that is, I don't need a mouse. With the MX mouse I need HOLD and MOVE a heavy thing and that is bad.
Can you use a Apple Pencil with the trackpad?
Not that I’ve tried but I’d assume you cannot 😅
what about mx master 3 issues? a lot of people seem to be having issues with the scroll wheel...I don't want to risk into getting a mouse which works worse than a $3 mouse...
You know what? I keep having this comment posted on my review of the mouse and it’s so weird I haven’t ran into these issues. I only have issues with some overscroll but it’s not even that bad. Very weird, and I can’t find the solution to why that is
@@SideofTech maybe there's some lack of consistency with manufacturing 😔
Sadly 🥲
@@SideofTech I am having these scrolling problems with my 3s. Mostly i get these if the "first scroll" is to fast. Do you have that?
Sadly yes. Since the newest update of macOS it’s been so bad! I’ve actually converted over to a gaming mouse 😓
to me mouse takes much less energy to use than touchpad. even when i travel with my laptop, i always bring a mouse with me to use. when i use a mouse i don't get hand and finger fatigue, but when i use touchpad i do.
Nice! I know some people can’t use a trackpad for these reasons. Thanks for your insight!
You're like comparing apples to oranges, good video though, I was exactly looking for a review on Magic Trackpad
Hope you were still able to get something out of it, thanks for watching!
Might choose trackpad because I don't want to use a mousepad anymore for a mouse
Solid choice! 👍🏼
can i use both at the some time?
Absolutely! I do it all the time
I use literally over a thousand gestures on both mouse and trackpad. That's actually a productivity beast
Awesome! I currently use both as well 👍🏼
I think it depends like if you are doing Admin tasks then track pad is better but for editing it should be mouse. 😁
Very good way to look at it! 😄
Eh.. I'm finding whipping through a timeline in Davinci with the trackpad is wildly effective vs my MX 3S
just bought the trackpad and I'd say I love it than the mouse for the reason that, I want to hover my hand into 1 place. Unlike using a mouse.
To each their own 😄
Product name wood holder for trackpad?
Hello! This product is from Grovemade, and the wood is walnut. Hope this helps!
@@SideofTech how can I purchase that for my Logitech MX keyboard?
From India?
Please reply to this Comment.
Thanks :)
@@ankitmaurya8317 Hello! I'm not so sure Grovemade makes a keyboard tray for this keyboard but to be sure, try reaching out to them!
They say scrilling on logitech not good unless you freewill scroll it
Hello! I highly disagree on that, if you don’t like the default scroll speed you can always adjust it in the app, so you will always have this option. Thanks for watching!
I own MX master 3 but daam I hate the scroll, it is precision is bad, does not stop where I wanted to be , maybe issue with my unit or what, is anyone facing same?
Possibly the sensitivity is too high? Have you tried changing the scroll speed on the software?
If you do video editing, the mouse horizontal scroll is too slow and inconvenient. Wish I buy the Trackpad instead.
You can always adjust it in the software so that it moves faster but yes if you buy it stock it definitely moves slow!
@@SideofTech I tried to adjust that, but it still can't match the trackpad. The best way about it is to use them both.
@@jinraigami3349 Agreed!
You had great video quality, why did you stopped making videos? 🙁
Thank you for the compliment! But I am still making videos 😅
Trackball is better than both. But I plan to use the trackpad. Trackpad on my left, for gestures and trackball on my right for regular stuff.
I’ve heard a lot of people like this! I’m glad you have something that works well for you 😁
I would think if a person buys a track pad they are trying to get away from using a mouse
NGL.. I may buy the magic keyboard and the trackpad just for the grovemade trays lol
It’s a sick look 😎
Great background... humble feedback: shorten the intro... a bit long tbh
Thanks for the tip!
Magic trackpad bad polling rate like 90hz
OMG throwing the magic trackpad was heart braking
Haha don’t worry! It survived 😁
some that's what she said jokes lol
No left-handed edition? So poor.
I have both and I have the same issue where I want to like the trackpad, but I end up using my MX Master 3S more often.
I also have to disagree on the ergonomics, dragging and dropping is a pain with the trackpad.
Thanks for your insight! 🤝🏼
