FAQs

How long does the battery last on a single charge?

The internal battery typically lasts about a month or more between charges, depending on usage.

Does this keyboard have a numeric keypad?

No, this is a tenkeyless model and does not feature a dedicated numeric keypad.

What is the keyboard layout?

This model features a German QWERTZ keyboard layout.

Can I use this keyboard with a Windows PC?

While the keyboard can connect via Bluetooth to a Windows PC, some special keys and the Touch ID functionality will not work, as they are specifically designed for macOS.

Is the keyboard height adjustable?

Yes, the keyboard features adjustable height for comfortable positioning.

How do I pair the keyboard with my Mac?

Simply connect the keyboard to your Mac using the included USB-C Charge Cable. It will automatically pair. Once paired, you can disconnect the cable and use it wirelessly via Bluetooth.

What macOS versions are supported?

This keyboard is compatible with Mac operating systems starting from macOS 11.0 Big Sur, including macOS 12.0 Monterey, macOS 13.0 Ventura, and macOS 14.0 Sonoma.

Troubleshooting

Keyboard won't pair with my Mac.

Ensure the keyboard is charged and turned on. Check your Mac's Bluetooth settings to make sure Bluetooth is enabled. Try connecting the keyboard to your Mac using the USB-C cable, which will pair it automatically. Restart your Mac if the issue persists.

Touch ID is not working.

Ensure your finger is clean and dry. Check `System Settings` (or `System Preferences`) > `Touch ID & Password` to confirm your fingerprint is enrolled and that Touch ID is enabled for unlocking or purchases. Try re-enrolling your fingerprint. Restart your Mac.

Keyboard battery drains quickly.

Monitor your usage patterns. Extremely heavy use or constant backlighting (though this model does not have backlighting) can affect battery life. Ensure the keyboard is fully charged. If the issue persists, ensure your macOS is up to date, as software optimizations can improve battery performance.

Keys are sticky or unresponsive.

Gently clean around the affected keys with a soft, damp cloth or a can of compressed air to remove any debris. Avoid applying excessive force.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup Instructions

  1. Charge the Keyboard: Connect the included USB-C Charge Cable to the keyboard's USB-C port and the other end to a USB-C port on your Mac or a USB-C power adapter.
  2. Turn On: Ensure the keyboard is charged (a green indicator light near the port shows charge) and turn it on using the switch on the back edge.
  3. Automatic Pairing: Your Mac should automatically detect and pair with the Magic Keyboard. If prompted, follow the on-screen instructions to confirm the connection.
  4. Set up Touch ID: After pairing, go to `System Settings` (or `System Preferences`) > `Touch ID & Password` on your Mac to enroll your fingerprint(s). Follow the on-screen prompts.

Compatibility

Care and Maintenance

  • Cleaning: To clean the keyboard, gently wipe the keycaps and surface with a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
  • Charging: For optimal battery life, charge the keyboard using the provided USB-C cable. It's recommended to charge it fully when the battery is low rather than leaving it constantly plugged in.
  • Storage: When not in use for extended periods, turn off the keyboard to conserve battery life.
  • Protection: Avoid exposing the keyboard to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, or liquids.
