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

Anonymous6447 Nov 27, 2024I just realized that I changed the key position and instantly gave up the idea of changing to USB-C... The L-port version with a few buttons peeling off will be scrapped if you use it

Anonymous3455 Nov 28, 2024Thanks, I realized that the language switch key in the lower right corner is the language switch key. Before, I used to press the uppercase lock key shortly, and my input habits are too different from Windows. I have been used to it for a long time, and now I am much more comfortable.

Anonymous4210 Nov 28, 2024@ Anonymous3455 recommends a software AutoSwitchInput, which can automatically switch the input language according to the software. You can also set F16-F19, which is not used on the long keyboard, as the language switching shortcut key. I currently use exactly four keys in simplified, traditional, English and Japanese

Anonymous3455 Nov 28, 2024@ Anonymous4210 # 51 Yes, Windows will switch different input method languages for different apps, and macOS is a unified input method language. Often, when writing a paper, you suddenly want to reply to a message, and then the input method switches from English to Chinese, and then switches from Chinese to English. It's a toss, and it's very uncomfortable at first, but now I'm used to it. In addition, the button of this little earth is very close to ctrl, and you can press it with your little finger. The usage habit is relatively close to Windows.
