Apple Wireless Magic Keyboard 2, Silver (MLA22LL/A) - (Renewed)

التعليق

I want to begin by noting that my keyboard came with an Amazon Basics lightning cable. While there seem to have been quite a few people post reviews lamenting the fact that theirs did not, I chose to purchase this keyboard because I found that trend had been decreasing. As far as the keyboard is concerned, I love it. My typing speed has increased to about 115WPM from around 85WPM on my other external keyboard. The response of the keys is phenomenal. It requires very little touch pressure to depress the keys. Furthermore, due to the narrow nature of the keyboard--its dimensions are nearly identical to that of my 2015 15" MBP--overall finger movement is minimal. The keyboard, like all Apple products, looks great, but I am impressed with its ability to remain in a fixed position, even when aggressively typing. The keyboard is very light, and only has four, small rubber feet (although the bottom of the keyboard is also somewhat "sticky"), but it stays in position far better than my previous keyboard. The only con that I have is that it isnt backlit. I am not quite sure why Apple has avoided doing this, but then again, the response of these keys is definitely superior to my MBP, so perhaps a loss of key quality would be a result of having it be backlit. Regardless, I am happy to save a few bucks while buying a quality keyboard. I dont care to have an unboxing experience, I just want it to work, and this keyboard works great and came with the only accessory that I needed in the lightning cable.

Just got this keyboard as a replacement for the Apple Wireless Keyboard I used for close to 12 years. Was looking to get this Magic Keyboard, but didnt want to spend too much on it, so the refurbished option seemed logic. Just opened it, paired it to my 2015 MBP, and started using it right away. Pairing was a breeze; even though it came with a 46% charge, I am currently charging it with the included lighting cable as I type this review. Did not include the flyers/brochures that usually come with a OEM part, but thats OK; I never have a use for those anyways. All in all, pretty happy with this purchase.

I have two of these, one is brand new, one refurbished. Mine came with a cable and I can tell no difference in the new one and the refurbished one. I see some bad reviews but I havent had that experience. Same deal with the older Apple BlueTooth Keyboards; the refurbished have been like new. I have had to go through a lot of keyboards, spilling coffee, etc. These new models, you do NOT want to spill anything on. The keys are not as easy to get off and on like the old model. I did test typing on this vs the old model, this one outperformed and I like that its slimmer. There is one in my keyboard tray that has the Magic Trackpad 2 connected to it with a Twelve South MagicBridge. The other one is on top of the desk, that one is for keyboard shortcuts while using my Wacom tablet editing photos. I see no reason to get a new one, Id go for the refurb.

I love this keyboard! Prior to this keyboard, I used the Mac keyboard that came out right before the Magic keyboard did and I thought that was a great keyboard (which it is) but Im able to type even faster on this with more accuracy and I love the feel of the low profile keys. It takes almost no time to get used to and I dont ever want to think about going back to a different keyboard after using this one. Its incredibly lightweight and Im able to use it with my PC running Windows 10 with no problems by using the cord to plug it into a USB port. Im extremely satisfied and highly recommend!

This keyboard is almost the same form factor as the new MBP, which is great so that when I work at my standing desk, I dont have to re-program my brain each time I switch between keyboards. I like: 1. The tactile feel more (it presses down more than the MBP) 2. Its at a slight angle, which helps with ergonomics 3. Its extraordinarily compact (and light), so I can bring it on work trips easily 4. Its an Apple product, so you know it looks good and feels solid Side note: mine did come with the charging cord, so it looks like that missing item issue has been fixed as of August, 2017.

I use this keyboard to Bluetooth-key into a MacBook Pro connected to a monitor. Its layout and dimensions are commensurate with those of the MacBook keyboard. The MacBook also runs Windows 10 in a VM, as well as two Linux VMs. The keyboard is as easy to use with Windows as with native MacOS. The Apple Command Key becomes the Windows Command Key. Ive found it to be no problem as a keyboard to those Linux VMs. Additionally I sometimes plug the Keyboard into a Raspberry PI, another Linux. That box becomes my keyboard charger, although battery discharge has never been an issue.

I bought this as a replacement for my wired apple keyboard with numeric keypad after I spilled grapefruit juice all over it. I really enjoyed the wired keyboard and the key travel of it, but this wireless keyboard is really great for a few reasons. The keys are snappier (they dont really feel spongy at all coming from my last keyboard) and I quickly acclimated to typing on it. Wireless capability keeps my workspace clearer and the battery life is superb - with the added benefit that you dont have to worry about AA batteries with the built-in battery. I dont do a lot of data processing so the loss of a numeric keypad isnt really that noticeable but if you do type numbers often, I believe Apple now makes a wireless full keyboard that may be worth looking into. I read some reviews saying that this refurbished product from PrimeDeals didnt come with a USB-to-Lightning cable, but mine did, and everything looked brand new. I couldnt be happier with my purchase.

When this keyboard arrived, it looks absolutely flawless in every way. No dust, no scratches, not even dirty from the delicate bottom of the keybaord. I would think this was new had i not known any better. I believe what they replace on these units is the battery because i have noticed just a slight less battery life than my new magic trackpad and they should both be about the same. But i would much rather pay have the retail for this keyboard and risk the small battery life difference. GREAT KEYBOARD SO FAR!!

I was a little nervous given some of the reviews. I received the keyboard in like-new condition packaged well, with a new apple lightning cable, and the amazon certified refurbished card. The keyboard came 38% charged and after topping it off, it has performed perfectly. No complaints.

The keyboard is light and was the standard supply for the iMac I had earlier. The same problem exists in that in general it works well, but it seems to lag response on very quick typing of repetitive text such as passwords. I am sure this is function of the keyboard since I dont have the issue on any laptop or other keyboards.
