    Hello! First ever MacRumors post. I was looking into ordering a new M2 12"9 Ipad and a new Keyboard, but I thought about saving money and buying a refurbished White Keyboard. I noticed on the website the new Keyboards are "6th Gen", and all previous White Models before today were 5th gen. Is...

    iPad Writing a lot with iPad Magic Keyboard - experiences?

    I’m a writer and write 3k-7k words a day. At the moment, most of it is done on an ergonomic keyboard at my iMac, with an 11“ iPad pro using the iMacs Magic Keyboard (out and about in the library etc; I use the mac’s Magic Keyboard as a portable bluetooth keyboard) and sometimes with my old 2014...

    Magic Keyboard with Touch ID compatibility with Intel Mac Pro 2013

    Sort of a specific question, but my old keyboard just failed me and I want to get the new Magic Keyboard with Touch ID. I currently have a Mac Pro 2013 running 10.15.7. I understand of course I will get NO touch ID usage with it. However, would the rest of the keyboards functionality work? FN...

    2021 wireless keyboard and trackpad far worse than 2015

    For years I used the Apple wireless keyboard and trackpad with my 2015 MBP (15" and 13") in clamshell mode. These I think were first gen but not sure - they were what Apple was selling in 2015. Now I have had several months with a 2021 MBP 14 Max with the current wireless keyboard (non finger...

    iPad Magic Keyboard Backlit is Finally Adjustable from Control Centre!

    Today, I updated to iPadOS 15.4 Beta. Just randomly, I opened control centre settings to organize a few controls and……what I saw was that, Apple has finally provided an option to control the Magic Keyboard’s backlit brightness DIRECTLY from the control centre! Previously, the only way to adjust...

    iPad Pro 12.9 (2021) Magic Keyboard discolouration

    Hello all. Just got the White Magic Keyboard for my 12.9" iPad Pro 2021 as a gift. Yesterday morning, I saw discolouration on the top inside and sides of the keyboard. That was weird because I made sure my hands were clean before using it. And I never reach those surffaces. Keys and the trackpad...

    Magic Keyboard with number pad

    I bought above keyboard used but in very good condition. However the charge cable is missing. I tried connecting it with the cable I use to charge with my iPhone, but it didn’t do anything. If it charges, is there an indicator somewhere? Do you need a special cable?

    Magic Keyboard with TouchID on MacBook Pro/Air

    I just got mine to work with my MacBook Pro and a Dell monitor. It works well. Setting up the first Touch ID is non intuitive. See more here: The finger print is stored in the enclave, so fingers programmed on either MacBook or Magic keyboard work on the other. But you do have to have a free...

    Never Thought I’d See the Day where I Choose a White Keyboard Over a Black One because I Want it to Remain Clean

    Had the black magic keyboard for the new 12.9. I washed my hands every single time before i used it because I wasn’t sure about the Magic Keyboard in general (no fold-over angle for drawing/writing and no edge protection) And I was thinking I might send it back. It seemed like every single dead...

    M1 MacBook Air Keyboard Uniformity

    I am curious to see what other people's experiences have been like with their M1 MacBook Airs. Does your keyboard have keys that are all uniform in feel/stability (other than the spacebar) or do you have some keys that are looser than the others? I'm not sure if the selections that I provided...
