I placed an order on the official website the day before yesterday (other channels have a 15% discount but I like en-US and can only buy it on the official website) and it was delivered yesterday
A few days ago, I bought the C-port Magic Trackpad A3120 at a discounted price
Compared with the previous generation A2520+A1535, the improvements are as follows:
1. A language switch button has been added in the lower left corner, which is really convenient. It is similar to the position of the virtual keyboard switch button on iOS devices (I remember that the earliest Mac language switch was Mac + Space. I don't know what version started to become Ctrl + Space) Of course, I bought it in the first half of the year. The MBA keyboard has been changed
2. The convenience of one-line communication brought by USB-C port
3. It doesn't seem to be disconnected casually. The previous A2520 always had to press the keyboard again and wait for reconnection after I was in standby for a period of time
In addition, the Touch ID unlocking experience is very poor
The new A3119+A3120 is unlocked in seconds when you put your finger on it in standby
Power consumption reference A3120 from the 21st to today from the 27th. The power consumption dropped from 97% to the current 91% in 6 days, which is almost 1% a day.
At the same time, the reconnection speed after restarting is also very fast
The host is still the old M1 Mac mini and no adjustments such as system reinstallation have been made
The promotion is indeed visible

What is the original Fn key of the new model now? It's the key below F13, you can't guess it by looking at the icon

Poster Nov 27, 2024@ Anonymous1353 I met someone with the same experience. My A2520 fingerprint was not only slow, but also broke two months ago. I deleted and reconnected repeatedly but could not be entered, so I explained that the situation was out a month ago I originally thought there was something wrong with my mini system. I got the A3119 yesterday and finally confirmed that it was a problem with the A2520 (lost contact/fingerprint)

Poster Nov 27, 2024@ Anonymous6508 Magic Trackpad A3120 I bought it on TB Machome Apple Home Shanghai. The official website price should be 1049. I actually spent 938.5 If you want to be cheaper, you can find a distribution agent in some markets or take my Apple Business Card to the Global Harbor direct store (20% off/15% off)

Poster Nov 27, 2024@ Anonymous8783 Forget it. When I used to work near Global Harbor, the store helped me get it. In recent years, I mainly live in the suburbs and often go out. I am too lazy to go to urban Jiangsu For example, I used to buy parallel imports/second-hand mobile phones in Never Sleeping City/Huanlong, and there were Apple distributors who came to them to buy them with discounts

Anonymous8783 Nov 27, 2024@ Poster # 29 I still want to buy it in a direct store, which is more at ease. You can also consider it in Suzhou apple store

Anonymous1359 Nov 27, 2024When you said this, I noticed that Apple's 108 keyboard did not have the earth key in the lower left corner before But I'm used to using mechanical keyboards, and I can't use this thing, especially since I still have the need to switch between PC and Mac

Anonymous628 Nov 27, 2024Fingerprint recognition is a pain point, the previous one went wrong because of this problem After mechanically reducing the fever, the feel is still the most satisfactory with this and MX Keys Small problem with direction keys, you can use Karabiner to replace them on Mac, I just replaced them with Capslock + WASD, and rarely use those four direction keys Isn't 20% off 15% cheaper than what you bought on the official website?

Anonymous628 Nov 27, 2024If the numeric area of the long keyboard is not used much, it is better to be shorter and more comfortable ( Now I put the mouse in the area between the keyboard and the body, similar to the touchpad of a laptop Compared with placing the mouse on the right side of the 104 keyboard, the distance between the hand moving from the mouse to the keyboard is shorter (lazy?

Poster Nov 27, 2024@ Anonymous628 I have only bought from official websites/direct stores in recent years 1. Specially equipped keyboards 2. Customized Mac In fact, there is not much difference between buying accessories worth thousands of dollars on the official website and other channels. This time I chose TB because I was too lazy to move (go to the store/market). I took a taxi and wiped out the price difference, or I was fined for driving a car and lost money

Poster Nov 27, 2024@ Anonymous8783 The main reason is that I haven't used this card in a direct store for several years. As long as I use it once, the Apple direct store will send me regular emails to introduce new products and then call me during major festivals to ask me if I want the company to purchase them Secondly, use Business Card for personal purchases (that is, non-company transfers). You can only buy standard models or new models in the store. Whether they are discounted depends on the specific situation (at the earliest, it was said that it was not possible and later it was okay) The other is that the company must transfer money to issue a special invoice (the special invoice is just for reimbursement)

Anonymous8629 Nov 27, 2024@ Poster I used the old long one with Touch ID because of Space Grey before, but it was too long, so I switched back to the short typec this year. I also found that the design of the long model has changed, with an additional earth key. I would like to ask the original fn button. What kind of new button is it? I can't tell from the picture. Is it a calculator button?

Poster Nov 27, 2024@ Anonymous8629 It is not particularly clear above that the old 2520 changes the ins key of the general keyboard (108) into a language (earth-shaped) + Fn key The new 3119 has a new language (earth-shaped) + Fn button in the lower left corner and the ins button is back Of course, they are all primary language secondary Fn The main reason is that the sticker here is too troublesome, please refer to the pictures of the station friends above
