I make more typos with it, that with the older Aluminum Wired one. I’ve large hands and the Space Gray Magic Keyboard I have for work (yes, it has a flex to it) isn’t ideal. And thanks to all that responded that its been discontinued for months by Apple. This is why I was frustrated not to find the Keyboard as an accessory only.

CTO (custom built to order) from my work, and scrolling down, at the bottom of the Apple Keyboard and Documentation was (065-C930) Wired Keyboard with numeric keypad (English) - Must be ordered with Wired Mouse (which I also selected, (065-C92W). This was odd to me, because I had placed an order two weeks ago, for an iMac 5K and the option for a corded USB keyboard was there. (Note: I found a new one in a drawer at home! I guess I bought it and forgot. “We feel that wireless and rechargeable is more desirable” - Really? Spill a coffee on a $50 keyboard, you lose a coffee and $50. I thought this would be news as its just another way Apple keeps killing hardware to force you to their higher priced option. But when it comes to booting up with key commands, its not guaranteed with non-Apple keyboards (anyone confirm?).Īnd the vendors out there list it as no stock/discontinued.įor those with the Magic Extended: you can leave the USB charging cable connected, but does it use the USB cable for input or just charging? Sure, I could suggest Logitech or Mathias, or other non-Apple. So when recommending them to buy new ones, their only OEM option was the Magic Extended Keyboards ($150!). Now I know that wear and tear can havoc devices, but these were light users. Ironically, this last week, I have seen three users lose function of their older, USB Extended Apple Keyboards that came with their iMacs (2013, 2014 models). Hey folks, I found out the hard way (I guess Covid brain let this slip by me this summer) that Apple no longer sells the USB version of their Extended Keyboards.
