Introduction

The Wireless Magic Keyboard (2021) in white arrived on my desk a few weeks ago, promising seamless integration with my Apple ecosystem. I’ve been using it extensively with my MacBook Pro, iPad Pro, and iPhone, putting it through its paces to provide you with a comprehensive review. This model, with its various model numbers (MK2A3B/A MK2A3LL/A / MK2A3D/A MK2A3LL/A and MK2A3ZA/A), boasts several features, but does it live up to the hype?

Features

The keyboard’s minimalist design is immediately appealing. The low-profile keys offer a satisfying tactile response, and the white color complements my setup perfectly. The seamless Bluetooth pairing process was a breeze across all my Apple devices. Charging via the included USB-C to Lightning cable is simple, though I wish it included a USB-C to USB-C cable for broader compatibility. The overall build quality feels premium, as expected from Apple.

Performance

Typing on the Wireless Magic Keyboard is a pleasure. The key travel is shallow but provides enough feedback to avoid typos. I found myself typing faster and more accurately than with some other wireless keyboards I’ve used. The scissor mechanism is quiet and efficient, making it ideal for use in shared spaces. Bluetooth connectivity has been consistently reliable, with no noticeable lag or dropouts during my testing. Battery life also impressed; I’ve been using it daily for several weeks without needing to recharge.

However, the keyboard’s angle is somewhat fixed. While comfortable for some, those who prefer more adjustability might find it limiting. The lack of a numeric keypad is also a drawback for those who frequently work with numbers. The relatively high price point is another factor to consider, especially when compared to more affordable alternatives on the market.

Pros & Cons

• Pros: Excellent typing experience, sleek design, seamless Apple integration, reliable Bluetooth connection, long battery life.
• Cons: Limited adjustability, no numeric keypad, relatively expensive.

Final Verdict

The Wireless Magic Keyboard (2021) White (MK2A3B/A MK2A3LL/A / MK2A3D/A MK2A3LL/A) is a premium keyboard that delivers on its promise of a comfortable and efficient typing experience. Its seamless integration into the Apple ecosystem is a significant advantage. While the lack of adjustability and the absence of a numeric keypad are minor drawbacks, the overall performance and build quality justify the price for users deeply invested in the Apple ecosystem who prioritize a great typing experience above all else. I would highly recommend this keyboard to those users.
