Designed around a built-in rechargeable lithium-ion battery, all three accessories eliminate the need for disposable batteries and feature a noticeably more solid internal structure and quality feel.

● The new Magic Keyboard features a full-size keyboard in a sleek new design that takes up 13 percent less space on your desktop. With a new scissor mechanism and lower profile, the Magic Keyboard provides an incredibly stable, precise and comfortable typing experience.

The new Magic devices pair instantly with your Mac as soon as they are plugged in via the Lightning-to-USB charging cable, and can last about a month or more on a full charge.

Magic Keyboard is available starting today for $99 (US). Magic Mouse 2 is available starting today for $79 (US). And the Magic Trackpad 2 is available starting today for $129 (US).

Well to inform you guys I use rechargeable apple batteries and they last about 3months and I use it all the time... Better than buying batteries every few weeks..

How long will they last before they are unusable anymore? I had other rechargeable wii battery backs that lasted around a month before and regular rechargeable batteries lying around barely work at all.

Well these the one I'm using on them I have had since 2010, before using the batteries on the mouse and keyboard I was using them on my kids remote control cars..

normally full-size keyboard means it includes the numberpad, home, end, page up, page down etc keys so you won't have to do combination key presses.

gamerscul9870 - October 13, 2015 at 9:48pm

That's Windows standards of full sized keyboard.

paulw - October 13, 2015 at 10:28pm

not really. apple also sells a real full-size keyboard (wired). so this one ain't full-size.

Personally I think that a mouse with no exchangeable batteries is a poor design choice. You always have to connect it to charge it. If it stops working, you must connect it to recharge. I won't upgrade my old one.

It becomes wired mouse while charging

I don't see how when the port is on the bottom of the mouse.

What if the wire breaks, what if most people have to work their way around other wires or objects to unplug it and plug in a new one, or what if it doesn't have gestures as good as Magic Mouse?
