What customers say about "Size & Weight"
Apple Magic Keyboard Wireless Keyboard
  • This is a great compromise to a full keyboard. It works well with man size hands!
  • If you're looking for a full size keyboard, portable enough to travel with your iPad...look no further. This keyboard bluetooths in seamlessly, and works like a charm.
  • Great keyboard. Size makes it perfect for travel.
  • Great compact size, but with full functionality of a full size keyboard.
  • The size of the keys is also hard to get used to. I found myself constantly shifting my hands to correct placement and still hit the edges of the keys I wanted to press.
Apple Magic Keyboard 2 Wireless Keyboard
  • The keyboard is an elegant, stylish, lightweight, and long-lasting battery, which makes it the perfect keyboard for those traveling.
  • Very impressed - it's taking some adjustment to the smaller size, but I really like it.
  • The actually keyboard layout part is the size of a regular keyboard, but because there is nothing else to it if feels smaller.
  • Its key touch is enough and thin size is portable to use with an iPad compared to a battery driven model.
  • Ergonomics are kind of strange - it is small like a tablet-size laptop keyboard.

What customers say about "Keys"
Apple Magic Keyboard Wireless Keyboard
  • Sleek design, every button I need. Small space. Perfect keyboard.
  • Nothing connects better and works better as this, buttons feel amazing
  • However, the buttons are firmer than previous generation.
  • Love that this is rechargeable with the lightening port and the keys are so responsive and smooth!
  • The feeling and responsiveness of the keys is the best I've ever felt.
  • I really dislike this keyboard, enough to go back to the old one. I love how it looks and the thickness of it, but the keys are just way too flat.
Apple Magic Keyboard 2 Wireless Keyboard
  • Typing is pretty easy super easy on this keyboard. Much better than on iPad screen.
  • This magic keyboard has much shorter travel, I think about half of the old apple wireless keyboard. But the typing experience is good.
  • The response of the keys is phenomenal. It requires very little touch pressure to depress the keys.
  • Sometimes while typing it will suddenly go all CAPS and there's no way to stop it until I plug it back in again.
  • My only complaint is that the keys have virtually no travel and are uncomfortable to type on.

What customers say about "Features"
Apple Magic Keyboard Wireless Keyboard
  • I love that I don't have to mess with batteries anymore to charge the keyboard!
  • No more batteries it is really nice to recharge and use this tactile keyboard without exchanging batteries.
  • The tilt of the keyboard seems to be just right, not too flat and not to high.
  • Another new feature is that this keyboard comes with an on/off switch for the bluetooth connection.
  • Holds battery nice and only complaint is I wish it had a option to slightly tilt more but I am sure it’s a ergo thing.
Apple Magic Keyboard 2 Wireless Keyboard
  • The keyboard comes with a Bluetooth capability which syncs to your Apple Bluetooth smoothly without any issues at all.
  • Even though the keyboard is a Bluetooth, it can still be hardwired using the lightning cable which is good when battery is low.
  • Fortunately the keyboard runs forever! I never turn it off and it's never gone dead in weeks and weeks.
  • The keyboard is great and nice. Also has great battery life.
  • Only worked while plugged into the computer via lightning cable.
