FAQs

Is the Magic Keyboard with Touch ID compatible with Windows PCs?

While the keyboard can connect to Windows PCs via Bluetooth, the `Touch ID` functionality is exclusive to compatible Mac computers running macOS Big Sur or later. Basic typing functions typically work.

How long does the battery last on a single charge?

The internal battery is designed to last about a month or more between charges, depending on usage.

Does this keyboard have a numeric keypad?

No, this specific model (tenkeyless) does not include a dedicated numeric keypad.

How do I check the battery level?

On your Mac, click the `Bluetooth` icon in the menu bar and hover over the `Magic Keyboard` entry. The battery percentage will be displayed there.

Can I use the keyboard while it's charging?

Yes, you can use the Magic Keyboard while it is connected to your Mac and charging via the USB-C cable.

What macOS versions are supported?

It supports Mac OS X 11.0 Big Sur, 12.0 Monterey, 13.0 Ventura, and 14.0 Sonoma.

What kind of cable is included for charging?

It includes a woven USB-C Charge Cable, which can be used for both charging and wired connection to your Mac.

Troubleshooting

Keyboard won't connect or pair with Mac.

First, ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your Mac. Then, try connecting the keyboard directly to your Mac using the USB-C cable to force a re-pair. If it still doesn't connect, restart your Mac and try again. Also, check the keyboard's battery level.

Touch ID is not working or not recognized.

Make sure your Mac is running macOS Big Sur (11.0) or later and has an Apple silicon chip. Go to `System Settings` > `Touch ID & Passcode` and ensure your fingerprints are properly enrolled. If issues persist, try deleting and re-adding your fingerprints. A Mac restart can also resolve temporary glitches.

Keys are sticky or unresponsive.

Gently clean around and under the affected keys with a can of compressed air to remove dust or debris. If the issue persists, ensure the keyboard is fully charged, as low battery can sometimes affect responsiveness.

Care:
