How to turn magic keyboard Off

[Itai_1986]

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 working and responding.
So, my simple question is - how do I switch it Off (unless the only lengthy way is to disconnect the keyboard via the keyboard bluetooth menu)?

Thanks a lot,
Itai

If you have turned off the wireless keyboard so that the switch is showing green, the keyboard will not be able to communicate with the MacBook. If the keyboard keys get accidentally pressed in travel, they may make a noise but, it won't do anything with the MacBook. If you are concerned that the keyboard is actively communicating with the MacBook even though it is turned off, go ahead and turn off the MacBook as well. Problem solved.

Green showing = on
Green not showing = off

Turning the keyboard off doesn't not stop one from pressing each key. No keyboard I'm aware of can do that.
