Does Apple Magic Keyboard Come With a Charger?
Yes, the Apple Magic Keyboard comes with a USB-C to Lightning cable for charging purposes. It’s possible to use it while it’s plugged in and charging, or you can go wirelessly once there’s sufficient charge.
Does Magic Keyboard Need to Charge?
Yes, but not often. When your Magic Keyboard arrives, it should come with a certain amount of charged battery power already. Its internal battery can power your keyboard for about a month or more between charges depending on how frequently you use it. Due to its power-saving modes, you don’t have to switch it off regularly.
How Do I Charge My Magic Keyboard?
It’s straightforward to charge your Magic Keyboard with the accompanying charging cable. Here’s how to do it.
Attach the USB-C to Lightning cable to your Magic Keyboard. The Lightning cable side goes into the keyboard. Plug the USB-C part of the cable to your PC or Mac. You can also plug it into a USB hub or other device with USB functionality to charge it. Your Magic Keyboard will now automatically charge while it’s plugged in.
How Long Does Magic Keyboard Battery Last?
The Magic Keyboard battery should last for about a month based on a full charge. When it’s not in use, it goes into a low power mode so that it uses less battery life while still enabling you to re-use it by tapping the keyboard any time you need to start using it again. There’s no need to manually switch it on or off to use it or save battery life.
This length of time can vary depending on how you use the Magic Keyboard, with more time spent with it likely to reduce the battery life.
