#Apple magic keyboard with numeric keypad review 2020 Bluetooth#
The battery life is currently sitting at 91 percent (to check the battery life on a Mac go to the bluetooth icon on the menu bar, and click on it, then a little dropdown menu will appear, and the keyboard and battery life will show up on there). My keyboard tends to get around 4-6 hours use per day. Like I mentioned at the beginning of this review, I have used the keyboard for around 3 weeks. This is extremely useful, as no one wants to be unable to use a keyboard for a few hours whilst it charges. I will point out that it is possible to use the keyboard while it's getting charged. Simply plug in the Lightning cable that comes with the keyboard (or use one you have already) and then plug into a USB port on your computer. This switch is useful if you know that you won't be using the keyboard for a while (when you go away on holiday for example) or if you are transporting the keyboard in bag (and you want to stop the keys getting pressed and using battery power whilst in the bag). Although you don't have to switch this keyboard off at the end of the day (the keyboard goes into a low power standby mode which uses very little battery life when the keyboard isn't getting used). Firstly there is a on/off switch on the back edge. Has this is a Mac keyboard, it has all the necessary keys that are needed/used on a Mac (which isn't always the case on some other Mac keyboards).Īpart from the keys, there is two other things on the keyboard. This and also the new key mechanism I really like, and too be honest I prefer much more over the keyboard I used to have.
In use I found this keyboard quieter to type on, and also with the change in the key mechanism, it means that the keys don't rock if you hit the key on the edge, and also there doesn't seem to be any gaps along the edges of the keys, so this means less room for dirt, dust to get in under the keys!Īnother thing I noticed that Apple have altered is the angle of the keyboard.
One of the things that Apple have altered with this keyboard is the key mechanism. A little annoyed at this (as I don't see the point in a wireless keyboard when I am using a desktop computer that is always in one place) I ordered this keyboard. Unfortunately, Apple have discontinued the wired version in favour of this one. So I began to look for the same wired keyboard. That wired keyboard was still going strong, until I clumsily spilt a glass of water on it. I got this keyboard around 3 weeks ago, to replace my wired version of the same keyboard that had come with my iMac 7 years ago.
