iPad event happening in 60 mins.

Fingers crossed for new USB-C keyboard and trackpad
I don't think there will be new USB-C keyboards, trackpads and mice being announced later today. This event is for iPads only and there will be a Magic Keyboard for the iPad but not for the desktop computers. I hope we will get to see these at the WWDC in June (latest in October though).

I wouldnt want to spend extra on the accessories just to move to USB-C. I have plenty of lightning cables to use in the meantime.
The port under the magic mouse is inconvenient, but Ive honestly never had any issues with it. When I get the notification to tell me the battery is low, I still have plenty of time to end my session and put it on charge, and considering charging is quick, I can get back to using it quickly too. It hasn't hindered me at all TBH.

Maybe I can pick up a lightning Trackpad a bit cheaper if a new USB-C one is released.... ;)

While the Magic Mouse lasts around a month or longer between charges, the position of the Lightning port on the bottom of the accessory has been a point of contention in the Apple community for many years, as it prevents it from being used while charging. It is unclear if the USB-C port on the new version will be placed in a more convenient location.

Please let it be so!
And please let it be soon!

I need a new Magic Trackpad and Keyboard and I refuse to buy anything further with Lightning, now that I am otherwise fully converted to USB-C everywhere.

If you want a laugh listen to the MKBHD Tim Cook interview where Tim talks about Apple perfecting the ergonomics of the Magic Mouse.
Do you work in ergonomic product design? Genuine question, because it's a very interesting field.
