    All iPads Do you use the mouse on the magic keyboard or do you prefer to use your fingers?

    As the title says, do you use the trackpad on your iPad's keyboard case or do you just use your index finger? I've never owned an iPad but a lot of people say they do serious work on them and I'm wondering how it all works.. Thanks

    To all owners of the Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro, how are your keyboards holding up? Are they prone to failure? Do they get dirty? Do you use them every day or here and there? Etc. Thanks in advance for the feedback!

    New keyboard for 2009 iMac

    So yesterday my original 2009 Apple Wireless Keyboard (that came with the iMac) died. I think it was a water issue. Some keys still work, but most don’t. The QWERTY row doesn’t, the ASDF row does, the ZXCV row doesn’t. Now I’m wondering what new keyboard I can replace it with. Though a bit...

    When do you charge your Magic Mouse and Keyboard?

    My previous Intel-based iMac used a keyboard and mouse that used batteries. My new 24" M1 iMac of course has the wireless Magic Mouse and Magic Keyboard. I'm just wondering if it's best to let these devices completely go dead before charging? What do most people do? Share them at 50% or let...

    iMac Magic Keyboard 2021

    I recently bought a Mac and it came with the standard keyboard, but I am not a fan of it. Update: It appears like this was fake news, just watched the spring loaded event again and this numeric keyboard with Touch ID wasn't announced :( It's a pretty cool concept though, they should have a...

    Picked up the 12.9” Pro with 512 SSD and the new Magic Keyboard to go with it. I am trying to see if I can use this as a laptop replacement… I am a home user so I am thinking this is doable.. Now to my issue.. The backlighting on the KB only activates when the room is almost pitch black. In the...

    Hello everyone :) If for example I want to put my MacBook and my Magic Keyboard in my backpack - naturally I turn the keyboard's switch Off so no key should happen to be pressed in my bag and start making annoying sounds. Curiously enough, even though I switched the keyboard Off, it's still...

    iPad Pro Best case for iPad Pro 12.9 when not in the Magic case?

    Looking for a case when my 12.9 iPad is not in it’s Magic case. Let’s say I’m on the couch or the bed and I want a case that is easy to put in and take out, but protect it. Something with just a little more protection than the Apple Smart Folio. Any suggestions?

    Unacceptably terrible bluetooth performance.

    I know this is a known (and apparently longtime) issue, so I'm just adding my voice to the chorus. My M1 Mac mini was returned yesterday due to the unacceptably poor wireless mouse and keyboard performance. I feel bad for anyone getting their first Mac + Magic Keyboard & Magic Mouse thinking the...

    Can I use the Magic Keyboard by just plugging it via USB on my Windows PC?

    Hey all, long story short, I got myself a macbook air 2020 and fell in love with the keyboard. I want to get the Magic Keyboard for my Windows PC but it doesn't support Bluetooth. I'd actually like to avoid connecting it via Bluetooth because it's in a sound dampening case that also blocks out...

    After I had three MacBooks with faulty Butterfly keyboards, I was relieved when Apple finally announced their new MacBook "Magic" Keyboards. I ordered a new MacBook Pro in early May. A few days ago I noticed that the MacBook behaves strangely: It appears as if the system receives random...
