The Magic Keyboard is the current keyboard produced by Apple Inc. as the successor to the Apple Wireless Keyboard. It is a very similar to its predecessor in terms of usability, but the design is completely changed for the first time since 2009 with increased stability and a lower profile that bring more comfort and precision to the keystroke. Also notable is the addition of a sealed non-replaceable rechargeable Lithium-ion battery which is charged through a Lightning Connector in the middle rear of the keyboard.[1] The keyboard is compatible with Apple Macintosh desktop and laptop computers running Mac OS X El Capitan versions 10.11 and higher.
For Magic Keyboard, Apple reengineered the scissor mechanism (removing the inherent wobble of all keyboards with scissor mechanism keys) to increase key stability by 33 percent and optimize key travel.
The rechargeable battery of the Magic Keyboard lasts about a month between charges. The keyboard utilizes an ST Microelectronics STM32F103VB 72 MHz 32-bit RISC ARM Cortex-M3 processor and includes the Broadcom BCM20733 Enhanced Data Rate Bluetooth 3.0 Single-Chip Solution.
The Magic Keyboard was released alongside the Magic Mouse 2 and the Magic Trackpad 2 in October 2015 to help complete Apple's Renewable initiative. The main theme with the new peripherals is that the set is environmentally friendly by design with the Magic Keyboard, Magic Mouse 2, and Magic Trackpad 2 each using a fully rechargeable and recyclable lithium‑ion battery, reducing battery waste.
