Apple - Magic Keyboard

The Bluetooth is built in. No need for a Bluetooth dongle.

My old keyboard died and I needed a new one. This keyboard has a great feel to it and works perfectly with my MacBook Air. There is a key for emojis as well as the usual function keys. I could not be more pleased. As with many Apple peripherals, I found it a little pricy, but do not regret getting it.

This is a solid keyboard, quality as expected from Apple. You should really make sure you are okay without Touch ID on this keyboard since it's so commonplace with signing in with passwords, signing into your computer, and online payments. Though not necessary, it can definitely make the experience far more smooth and convenient. Nonetheless, the keyboard is great and uses the same mechanism as the new 2021 MacBook Pros (14" and 16"), which is a great click and feedback. Recommend but make sure no Touch ID isn't a dealbreaker.

Replacing another keyboard(they are not spill-resistant) for my 2012 iMac. I was surprised the price had jumped from $79 to $99. It was not until I got home and noticed the keyboard was slightly different.that I did more research. This keyboard is compatible with macOS 11.3 or higher and the M1 chip. (my 21.5” iMac runs 10.4) If Apple announced they were updating the design and no longer providing this accessory for older devices, I missed the news. And I still needed a working keyboard. The $129 Magic Keyboard with Numeric Keypad is still available for older devices. Yes, that’s $50 more than the shorter keyboard but it’s only you can decide if its worth the investment. The good news is the 11.3 and higher version carries a $199 price tag, And if matching your accessories to your device is not important, you can look for a third party keyboard. I am giving this item a rating because although I made the error in selection: I hold Apple accountable too. Apple needs to keep in mind not all its customers replace the old with new devices each season. Nor do we like being inconvenienced by lack of communication.

It feels incredible. I specifically love the size and pressure sensitivity of the buttons. (I have big fingers) It doesn't take too long to charge and the battery life is fantastic. It is a little pricy but that is expected from Apple products. I highly recommend it though.

I love the compact size of this keyboard! It has all the features that I need and takes up little of my limited space. I never was much of a typist but this little gem is turning me into a much better one. I'm glad it doesn't require batteries like my last one did.

I bought a laptop stand and it made typing very awkward. So I decided to get a Bluetooth keyboard so I can keep at a level that was more comfortable and this apple one worked for me. I love apple products. Highly recommend.

I prefer the Apple Magic Keyboard over all others that I've tried. The quality and reliability of this keyboard can't be overstated. The 'feel' of the keys, the design, and overall aesthetic combine to provide a singular typing experience that I have not enjoyed with any other keyboard (and I've tried a few in an effort to save money - in every case it turned out to be money wasted!). I own two of these and also the larger keyboard (with the numeric pad) but I prefer the smaller version.
