equivalent keyboard to macbook air m1?

[bentalgad]

I have the new m1 macbook air, and it's keyboard is amazing!

Is there an standalone keyboard that is equivalent to that?

I have an old apple keyboard and it's not even close to that, but maybe they have
new ones with the same filling?

Thanks.

The Magic Keyboard doesn't do it for you?

Nothing will feel totally identical due to the nature of the housing when the board is on a laptop, but the MKB is pretty close.

Thanks @turbineseaplane, but i have the Magic keyboard and it doesn't compare

Although i have an old one (2013) so i don't know i there were any changes that
might be closer to the m1 air experience...

Haven't seen the M1 MacBook Air, but AFAIK it uses the same mechanism as the current bluetooth Apple Magic Keyboard, which was updated within the past couple years. It is definitely not the same as your 2013 keyboard. I got a space grey Magic Keyboard with keypad for my 2018 Mini last summer and love it. Really has the best tactile feel and feedback of any Apple keyboard I've used and I'm a fast touch-typist.

Have always been a fan of the old wired Apple keyboards and was disappointed when they were discontinued. But the new Magic Keyboard felt just as good to me. After a couple days, dug out my old wired Apple keyboard and did an A/B test. I think the new Magic Keyboard is actually much nicer than the old wired keyboard.

The one you have is technically called the "Apple Wireless Keyboard"
The "Magic Keyboard" came out in 2015

Definitely grab an MKB.
It's way way closer to the M1's keyboard than what you have.
