How long does the battery last on a single charge?

How do I charge the Magic Keyboard?

You can charge the keyboard by connecting the included woven USB-C Charge Cable to the USB-C port on the back of the keyboard and to a USB-C port on your Mac or any standard USB-C power adapter.

Is the layout in Spanish QWERTY?

Yes, this specific model features a QWERTY Spanish layout, which includes characters and symbols commonly used in Spanish-speaking regions.

Can I use Touch ID with any Mac?

Touch ID functionality is exclusively available on Mac computers with the Apple M1 chip or later. If your Mac has an older processor, the keyboard will function, but Touch ID will not be available.

Does this keyboard have a backlight?

No, the Apple Magic Keyboard with Touch ID and Numeric Keypad does not feature a backlight for the keys.

What should I do if my keyboard is not connecting wirelessly?

Try connecting the keyboard to your Mac using the USB-C cable first to establish a connection. Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your Mac, and check that the keyboard's power switch is on. You might also need to remove and re-add the keyboard in your Mac's Bluetooth settings.

Troubleshooting

Keyboard won't turn on or respond.

Ensure the keyboard is charged. Connect it to your Mac using the USB-C cable for at least 15 minutes. Check the power switch on the back of the keyboard to ensure it's in the 'on' position (green indicator visible).

Keyboard not pairing with my Mac.

First, connect the keyboard to your Mac with the USB-C cable to force a connection. If still an issue, go to System Settings > Bluetooth on your Mac, ensure Bluetooth is on, and remove any old keyboard entries. Then, turn the keyboard off and on, and try pairing again.

Touch ID is not working.

Verify your Mac has an Apple M1 chip or later. Ensure your keyboard is connected to your Mac and you've added your fingerprint in System Settings > Touch ID & Password. Restart your Mac and try again. Also, ensure the keyboard's software is up to date via macOS updates.

Keys are sticky or unresponsive.

Gently clean around the affected keys with a can of compressed air to dislodge any debris. For stubborn residue, lightly dampen a cotton swab with isopropyl alcohol and carefully clean the key surfaces, avoiding excessive liquid.

Poor Bluetooth connection or lag.

Ensure the keyboard is within close range of your Mac. Avoid sources of wireless interference (e.g., microwaves, Wi-Fi routers, other Bluetooth devices). Disconnect and reconnect the keyboard in your Mac's Bluetooth settings. Resetting Bluetooth on your Mac might also help.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Setting up your Apple Magic Keyboard is straightforward, especially with a Mac:

  1. Unpack: Remove the keyboard and the woven USB-C Charge Cable from the packaging.
  2. Initial Connection (for first-time pairing/charging): Connect one end of the USB-C Charge Cable to the USB-C port on the back of the Magic Keyboard and the other end to a USB-C port on your Mac. This will automatically pair the keyboard with your Mac and begin charging it.
  3. Wireless Use: Once paired, you can disconnect the cable for wireless use via Bluetooth. The keyboard will automatically connect to your Mac when powered on.
  4. Charging: To charge, simply connect the keyboard to any USB-C power source or your Mac using the provided cable.

Compatibility

  • Mac: Fully compatible with Mac computers running macOS, especially those with the Apple M1 chip or later for Touch ID functionality. Automatically pairs with your Mac.
  • Other Devices: The keyboard can connect via Bluetooth to other devices (e.g., iPad, iPhone, Windows PCs, Android devices) that support Bluetooth keyboard profiles. However, features like Touch ID and specific macOS function keys may not work or function differently on non-Mac devices. The `QWERTY Spanish` layout is standard.
  • USB Connectivity: Can also be used as a wired keyboard by connecting it directly to a device via the USB-C to USB-C cable.

Care

  • Cleaning: To clean the keyboard, first disconnect it from your Mac and power it off. Use a soft, lint-free cloth, slightly dampened with water, to gently wipe the exterior. Avoid excessive moisture and do not spray cleaners directly onto the keyboard.
  • Storage: Store the keyboard in a dry, cool place away from extreme temperatures.
  • Battery Maintenance: While the rechargeable battery is designed for longevity, avoid fully depleting it regularly. Recharge it when the low battery indicator appears to prolong its lifespan.
