That's right, everyone. The showdown you've all been DYING for. Probably not. But it's still fun. Right? Fine. Apple's Magic Trackpad 2 vs Magic Mouse 2 for video editing in Final Cut Pro. We're going to take a look at three major categories here:

Ergonomics
Usability / Convenience
Gestures

Watch the vid to see which input device wins in this epic battle!

Curious about the app I was running on my iPad? It's Elgato's Stream Deck Mobile app for iPhone (but you can use it on your iPad). It's $2.99 / month and you can subscribe via the App Store.
