Apple Magic Keyboard:Wow! and it even works with my plain vanilla windows machine

Wow!

Since I saw the pictures from a mock-up on some site, I was waiting to get a new keyboard. I really like the new keyboard on the Mac Book 12".

Now it's here and it is just great.

Ok, now here's the real deal:


  • Typing is great
  • Lithium battery is great
  • Lightning cable port is great
  • And it works with iPhone, iPad, iMac, Mac Book, Windows machines
  • And it will work using the lightning cable in wired mode!

Now the downsides:

  • It does not pair with multiple devices, like all the new logitech devices do. You really have to un-pair and re-pair (funny word) when switching between devices.
    • Worst of all I have not found out on how to un-pair when I forgot to remove the pairing at home and then trying to pair in the office!
  • The battery is probably not lasting long enough, so at one point the keyboard will be dead. But I could keep on working using the cable, which is kind of lame.
  • Where are the colors, I really would have loved the space grey or golden variant.
  • Price, the thing will set you back $100 dollars or more. Let's hope it was worth it.
