Touch ID (the power button): Press to turn on your MacBook Pro (or just lift the lid or press any key). A metallic trim ring guides your finger to the Touch ID sensor that analyzes your fingerprint. When you first start up or restart, you need to log in by typing your password. To learn more about how to use Touch ID, see Magic Keyboard for MacBook Pro.
Force Touch trackpad: Control your MacBook Pro with gestures. The entire trackpad surface acts as a button so you can easily click anywhere. For more about using gestures, see MacBook Pro trackpad.
