Questions about Apple Magic Keyboard

Of course Apple keyboards can also be used on a PC, they are only USB devices. Windows doesn't really care if it says Apple on it.

It has a non-removable battery that is charged with the supplied cable (Ligthning cable, the same as for the iPhone). You can also use the keyboard with a cable without Bluetooth.

I write in English using a Swiss keyboard layout. It is no problems. And, obviously, no problems to write in German using the Swiss keyboard layout. Just switch writing language, not keyboard layout.

Scissor mechanism. As far as I know, the external keyboards always had the scissor mechanism.

Yes, these Apple products are simply recharged via USB. This has the advantage that you can continue to work with the keyboard via cable when the battery is empty.

The Magic Keyboard has a built-in rechargeable battery and lasts a month or more before you need to charge it. It comes with a Lightning to USB cable.

This works well via Bluetooth.

If it is really dry: plug it in to charge and try it. If it doesn't work after three days, then I can only give a bad prognosis: The keyboard is probably ruined.

No, it's not the same technology. It also doesn't sound as clattery as the MacBook. I'm very happy with the new keyboard.

Yes that works

The black version can already be found in our shop: Apple Magic Keyboard with Number Pad (Bluetooth, DE, Wireless) However, only with DE layout, a CH layout is currently not available in black.

We just added the version: Apple Magic Keyboard mit Ziffernblock (Bluetooth, DE, Kabellos) unfortunately we can just offer the DE-Layout and not the CH-Layout.

Yes, it is automatically recognised and installed. It runs on my Surface Pro 4.

Yes, a USB-A to Lightning cable is included. The keyboard can then be charged on a USB socket on the computer or on a USB charger (not included).

This is difficult because the keyboard is Bluetooth. It may be possible to connect a Bluetooth dongle to the KVM switch. However, I cannot guarantee that both devices will be able to recognise the dongle/establish a connection.

No, this keyboard is not illuminated.

Yes, the Apple Magic Keyboard (MK2A3D/A) is compatible with an iPad. It can be connected to your iPad via Bluetooth and offers a comfortable and precise typing experience. It works especially well if you already have a Smart Cover for your iPad.

Yes, the Apple Magic Keyboard (DE, wireless) with product ID MK2A3D/A is compatible with the iPad Pro. It can be used with iPad models running iPadOS 14.5 or later, and the iPad Pro 13 with M4 processor falls into this category.

Unfortunately, you would have to ask the manufacturer. :(

I am not aware of a keyboard case with Apple Pencil supply or did you mean a case for the Ipad mini 6 with supply for the Apple Pencil? Fintech makes good ones.

CH has a Swiss layout, DE has a German layout

Hoi So that I understand correctly: Z is at the top (in front of the row of numbers), Y is in the bottom row? Also, are all the keys you physically see in the right place? If YES: You might have got a different keyboard layout - I assume you are using Mac? Please check as follows: Apple (top left) - Control Panel - Keyboard - Input Source - for me it says "Swiss German" and QWERTZ.... You can adjust this accordingly with Edit. LG
