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.
