iFixit updated their iPad Pro Magic Keyboard teardown with a look underneath the trackpad.

Take a minute, follow the headline link, scroll about halfway down the page to that GIF showing the innards of the trackpad, with a finger pressing the switch to show how it works.

What looks like multiple buttons in the X-ray is actually just one button and a simple, elegant lever system. The single button is at the center of the trackpad, where the mechanism is rigid. When you apply pressure near the center, whether top, middle, or bottom-center, you are directly pressing the button. Press near the top, bottom, or one of the corners, however, and the lever system comes into play, forcing the contact plate in the center upward to make a click happen.
