    Non-Low Profile Keycap that's Close or Exactly like the Length & Width of the Surface of the Magic Keyboard?

    Hello Apple friends I love the dimensions of the Magic Keyboard's keycaps (length and width only, the height is of course too short), which keycap profile has the flattest and widest upper surface among keyboard profiles (it can go beyond the usual OEM, Cherry, XDA, SA & OSA)? Are there other...

    How do i stop Magic Key Board from turning on CAPS?

    11” iPadPro w Magic Keyboard: The symbol in the image I attached means CAPS is on I think. I have turned it on some how I think, anyway I must remember to manually turn it off, rather than it turn off when I let go of the SHIFT key. How did I do this? I want shift to toggle only.

    I just can't see spending 300.00 on a keyboard and mouse that uses a lighting connector to charge. Anyone have any thoughts on when Apple might release a new version of these devices?
