Review on πŸ”’ Renewed Apple Magic Wireless Keyboard with Numeric Keypad - US English: Enhanced Functionality for Effortless Typing by Ivan Yakimov ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The quality is top notch, be sure to try it.

It has been brought to our attention that the keyboard does not contain an Alt button. If you want to be on good terms with Windows, you need to keep the following in mind at all times: Control is the same as Ctrl in Windows, Options is the same as Fn, and CMD is the Win button that summons up the Start menu. These are all located on the left side of the screen. You have the option to assign Options rather than Alt, but doing so will cause you to lose access to the function keys. It is not apparent how accurately the Alt key will work in conjunction with the Numpad to enter characters. You will need to check your system after installing drivers from Apple Bootcamp. It is my view that it is best not to take any chances and to use it exclusively with Apple machines.

Pros
  • Nice quiet keyboard. It is a positive feature that the key travel is identical to that of Apple's MacBook Pro computers. The charge is maintained for a very extended period of time. One-time charge; the hold period has already been extended to three weeks. In addition to that, a sleek black Lightning wire is included in the package. Almost exclusive.
Cons
  • Price; only works perfectly with Mac; compatibility.
