Apple Releases Wireless Magic Keyboard With Numeric Keypad

[MacRumors]

Apple today released a wireless Magic Keyboard with Numeric Keypad priced at $129 in the United States. The wired version has been discontinued.

The keyboard features an extended layout with a numeric keypad, document navigation controls for quick scrolling, and full-size arrow keys for gaming.

Like the traditional Magic Keyboard, the Numeric Keypad version has a Lightning port with a built-in, rechargeable battery that lasts a month or more between charges.

Apple says a Bluetooth-enabled Mac with macOS 10.12.4 or later, or iOS devices with iOS 10.3 or later, is required.

The keyboard is currently available for delivery as early as June 8 in the United States. Pricing and availability varies in other countries.

Nothing magic there except the money being robbed from our wallets...

 

[anentropic]

Where is the Touch Bar ...?!

I don't want a battery powered keyboard. It's pointless and inconvenient

 

[rizzo41999]

Now I actually might buy one of these. Numerical keys are essential.

 

[Dilster3k]

Jesus Christ guys can you calm down? This was an exceptional keynote! So many great things from beginning to end, stop being so toxic.

 

[Appleaker]

I have been waiting for this for a long time - very exciting although I think they need to lower keyboard prices.
It looked like the space gray keyboard for the iMac Pro will be different and have the 2nd gen butterfly mechanism (from the trailer).

 

[VulchR]

About bloody time.

 

[sunapple]

Awesome, little late, but awesome.

 

[oldtime]

And we only had to ask for one for like 10 years

 

[Wahlstrm]

Guess I need to hurry up and buy a new old one.

 

[redheeler]

That is crazy expensive for a wireless keyboard. I was hoping it would at least be available in Space Gray/black separately from the iMac Pro, but nope.

 

[norbornene]

But does it feature the 2nd gen. butterfly keys? If not, I will be so disappointed.

Holy crap! About time. Finally! Wow I never thought I'd see the day.

 

[69Mustang]

Needs to be in the Gray color like the kb & mouse for the new iMac.

 

[Kabeyun]

Seriously?? They're making me upgrade to Sierra to get one? Unless someone can explain to me what OS thing El Cap doesn't have that this keyboard requires, I call jerk move.

But it's a great accessory for that new iPad Pro, with an actual worthwhile OS, that you're about to pick up now that the online store is up again. Right?

 

[KPOM]

No Touch Bar leads me to believe it hasn't gotten as much traction as Apple had hoped.

 

[KazKam]

About ******* time.

Eight years ago would have been better.

 

[Dozer_Zaibatsu]

I am suspecting that the TouchBar is probably dead-ended now since this was updated without putting a touchbar on it.

it seemed like a long shot, anyway.

Touchbar is dead. Macs won't be going touchscreen… until they force us to get iPad pros.

I don't want a battery powered keyboard. It's pointless and inconvenient

Just leave it plugged in all the time. If its like the existing Trackpad and keyboard, it even transfers data over the wire.

 

[ImBuz]

I have had a Kanex board with numeric keypad for years (looks just like new apple board)--it has exceptional battery life--only cost $49

 

[mw360]

Guess I need to hurry up and buy a new old one.

Glad I just recently bought two at £30 each. £130 is just ridiculous.

No back light no touch bar no buy... really??) you couldn't add a back light and touch bar for $129?

 

[Sasparilla]

Oh man. I better get another wired version while I can.

Seems pretty crazy that you'll have to shell out $130 to get a full keyboard, that you'll have to charge, going forward. They should have kept the old wired one around.

Expect the basic Apple wired mouse to be on the chopping block next.

Then don't open your wallet. SIMPLE!
