Apple Magic Keyboard Specifications

Released 05 June, 2017
Features Magic Keyboard delivers a remarkably comfortable and precise typing experience.

It pairs automatically with your Mac, so you can get to work immediately. And it includes a woven USB-C to Lightning Cable that lets you pair and charge by connecting to a USB-C port on your Mac.

This keyboard's design was similar to its predecessor but had a lower profile. Apple re-engineered the scissor mechanism to increase key stability by 33 per cent and reduce key travel.

The typeface on the keys was also changed, from VAG Rounded to San Francisco.

It had a sealed non-replaceable rechargeable Lithium-ion battery which is charged via a Lightning port on the rear of the keyboard. The rechargeable battery lasted one month between charges.

It used an ST Microelectronics STM32F103VB 72 MHz 32-bit RISC ARM Cortex-M3 processor and included the Broadcom BCM20733 Enhanced Data Rate Bluetooth 3.0 Single-Chip Solution.
