The Magic Keyboard (Apple Magic Keyboard), is the current keyboard produced by Apple Inc. as the successor to the Apple Wireless Keyboard.

The Magic keyboard is very similar to its predecessor in usability but it has a lower profile compared to the older 2009 design. Apple reenginereered the scissor mechanism to increase key stability by 33 percent and reduce key travel.

Also notable is the addition of a sealed non-replaceable rechargeable Lithium-ion battery which is charged through a Lightning Connector in the middle rear of the keyboard.[1] The keyboard also uses the cable for pairing with the Macintosh computer it gets connected to.[2] The keyboard is compatible with Apple Macintosh desktop and laptop computers running Mac OS X El Capitan versions 10.11 and higher.

The rechargeable battery of the Magic Keyboard lasts about a month between charges. The keyboard utilizes an ST Microelectronics STM32F103VB 72 MHz 32-bit RISC ARM Cortex-M3 processor and includes the Broadcom BCM20733 Enhanced Data Rate Bluetooth 3.0 Single-Chip Solution.
