Apple Magic Keyboard

Apple Magic Keyboard with Numeric Keypad features an extended layout, with document navigation controls for quick scrolling and full-size arrow keys for gaming.

Pros:
1) It has the solid look and feels that the original Magic Keyboard has. That’s a huge plus as others I’ve tried have been flimsy.
2) The internal battery is rechargeable via the Lightning port on the back. That’s perfect since it’s the same cable used by the iPhone.
3) It’s very lightweight – only about 1lb.
4) Since it’s made by Apple, all of the function keys operate like they’re supposed to (that’s not the case with aftermarket keyboards as they’re not allowed to access those parts of macOS).
5) It doesn’t have the keystroke lag that other aftermarket keyboards have.
6) It doesn’t have the wake-from-sleep issue that other aftermarket keyboards have.

Overall, I’m very pleased with mine and plan to buy more as needed.

Pros:
• It’s great to use.
• Recharges with the supplied lighting cable (I don’t care how long the battery does or does not last because my trackpad needs recharging a lot sooner than the keyboard and I just charge them both when the trackpad needs charging).

A scissor mechanism beneath each key allows for increased stability, while optimized key travel and a low profile provide a comfortable and precise typing experience.

The numeric keypad is also great for spreadsheets and finance applications.
