Customer Ratings & Reviews

Always wanted this Apple keyboard so I treated myself to this one.

Apple's Magic Keyboard is aptly named. Simply put, this is one of the best non-mechanical keyboards I have ever used. The pressure and feedback of the keys are very responsive, and there's good travel depth. The layout is fantastic, and the symmetrical control, option, and command keys on both sides are great for pinky finger muscle memory. As far as ease-of-use is concerned, this keyboard connects immediately macOS without any software downloads or dongles. Its response is virtually imperceptible from a wired keyboard. From a full charge, I have typed more than 80k words over the span of a month, and it still has nearly 50% charge. However, this keyboard has two glaring flaws. First, it requires a 4-pin Apple Thunderbolt cable to charge, so you will need a USB-A dongle on a MacBook Pro. Second, it is too lightweight. This may seem hypercritical, but the rubber feet on the bottom provide very little grip. If you type a lot, you will feel it slowly slide across your desk.

This is a great keyboard, and the extended layout offers so much! Coming from the Apple Wireless Keyboard, this thing is so much nicer. The rechargeable battery via included Lightning cable is so much more convenient, the numpad is very useful for typing a lot of numbers (primarily for data entry on spreadsheets, in my experience), and there are a ton of large function keys for setting up personalized shortcuts in macOS. I definitely do recommend this keyboard, but it is very expensive and adding $20 to the price for a darker color is ridiculous. (Although it is absolutely gorgeous, way more so than the regular silver one) The Space Gray Magic accessories look really nice with a Space Gray computer — I got the trackpad and keyboard for use with my new Space Gray MacBook Pro and they all look amazing together… of course working is more important, but they do work extremely well and I am very happy with my purchase.

I am an apple guy 100% and have been using wired apple keyboard for every Mac I have owned back to my iBook g4, because I do a lot of number crunching and needed a numbed I went wired. I use a docked MacBook Pro as my main computer for last 7 years and hated have to make sure cord was out of the way before I docked on my old landing zone, or now not setting MacBook on it. I was a little late to the party to get one of these, but man I am glad I did now. Battery last forever for me and I use it 40+ hours a week and it has the numbed I long for, plus I love the space great because of the black keys, since with the white ones and the oil from your hands you have to clean more often IMO. Mind you I wish there was no space grey "tax" on the price, do not really get how different color makes price go up.

It's a wireless keyboard that is sleek and functions better than the previous keyboard we had. I especially like that it has the numbers on the side; makes it easier to type numbers in. I'm all about ease and simplicity, and this keyboard delivers in those regards.

Fantastic keyboard - wish I bought it sooner. would purchase again

It does what you expect a keyboard to do. Keyboard expectations were met.

I am not sure why I waited so long to get the magic keyboard! I work from home and use my MacBook Pro along with another monitor and having a wireless keyboard was really essential. I ended up using a cheap one that I got from work that was not as good. The keys on the Magic Keyboard do not stick, they are not super loud but the only thing I wish it had was a backlit keyboard (unless it does and I haven't activated it yet?) either way, I love this keyboard and I look forward to using it for work and school.

Perfect for our computer set up! Best keyboard we have ever owned

Overall easy process. Took longer than expected to get my money back.

This is what you expect for an Apple keyboard. It looks great, it just works, you don’t really need anything else if you have a Mac, but it’s expensive. I am coming from an old wired version and I like the feel of the keys on this keyboard better. I love it’s wireless. I have a Das Keyboard with Cherry MX Browns and a Razer Black Widow with Cherry MX Blues but needed something quieter and this is great for that. This is about as expensive as those and I’ll see how it holds up as I type for many hours every day as a programmer. I don’t really like having to plug the usb cable in when I’m switching between computers but it’s okay. I also feel with less travel I need to keep my nails trimmed.

LOVE my keyboard with the numeric add on. My all in one Mac came with the shorter keyboard, but I think it's well worth it to just upgrade. Really makes the whole set up look super nice!

works good, a little flat but completely happy with it

I have always preferred keyboards with a full numpad on them since I tend to do quite a bit of work with spreadsheets and such (used to do a bunch of gaming but not so much now with a Mac, though that is getting better). I really love the Magic Keyboard that came with my Mac but missed the numpad that I had on my wired Mac keyboard previously. Yes, I know I could have just used this keyboard but I hate taking up a USB slot for a keyboard and I like having the flexibility to move the keyboard around without worrying about the cord. This solved everything, and again, I know there were other 3rd party options out there as well, some for considerably less money, I kind of like everything to match and I have become comfortable with the Mac keyboard 'feel'.

Although I have no plans on replacing this anytime soon, I must stress right away that the depression of the keys on this keyboard is far too easy of a thing to do. Now, it doesn't need to be the spring-board kind of action of a mechanical keyboard, but it would be better if the keys were as resistant as the older Apple wireless keyboard keys were. As it stands, I'm constantly accidentally pressing down keys--whether from double or triple tapping, or hitting a nearby key, I'm constantly resorting to hitting delete and having to retype. Thankfully I'm only using the keyboard for music production, so more often than not, I'm only using the mouse. Still, if the keys are going to be this sensitive, they might as well just make it like a touchscreen. I have many hand/wrist issues including carpal tunnel in both wrists, and I still dislike how easy it is to depress these keys. Having complained that much, I will emphasize, that it's still as strong and robust a build as previous Apple keyboards. It looks amazing, particularly the color, but the design itself is pretty sharp. If you prefer keys of yesteryear, you might want to test this in person to see if you'll manage with it. If you're a writer and plan on typing a lot, you definitely want to test it in person to make sure you'll like it.

Great keyboard for the Mac. I mainly use it with protools and its amazing. It holds a charge for a very long time even tho I mainly leave it plugged in most of the time.

I'm using this in a home office environment on a Dell laptop and MacBook Pro via a KVM switch. This unit has a quieter keystroke, shorter key travel and a simpler design which allows for easy cleaning. I chose this over a gaming keyboard because of those three advantages. It also has a space bar that sounds very similar to the other keys; no squeaks for this one, larger, key as I've experienced with gaming keyboards. This is a clean, mature looking input device on your desk that just does its job. As mentioned, I can confirm that is works on a Windows 10 and 7 OS with no changes, devices drivers, etc. I use it via USB cable, not Bluetooth (though it will pair to MacOS or Windows and work with no problem). The Delete key, Print Screen, media keys work as expected. Instead of Microsoft Key + Fn key hotkeys, you'd just used Command + Fn istead. It's in the same place.

love the new colors as it matches my space grey macbook pro. had to have the full number keypad as I do a lot of number crunching and data analytics for work...plus the full keyboard is now bluetooth so even better....

The Magic Keyboard is working very well with my MacBook. I had to get additional instructions for setup from the internet, but it wasn't too challenging.

I had a Logitech keyboard before this one. I need the number pad on the side. The issue with the logitech was that I had to plug in the receiver to the USB port every time I wanted to use it. Because I have a new MacBook with USB-C ports I had to have an adapter. Not anymore, this connects wirelessly directly to the computer (well I did ha ve to use the adapter to pair them up). I use it every day for very long days at work and the battery was still at 74% even after using it daily for weeks on end. the feel of the keyboard is better than the laptop, but it took me a few days to get used to some different sizes of the keys from the logitech. Overall I'm very happy and others in the office are jealous because now everything I have matches.
