Apple Magic Keyboard deal: Save on Apple wireless keyboard for Mac and iPad
A good keyboard is critical to getting work done. Nothing hampers your productivity like a cheap one that doesn’t fit your needs. If you’re like me, you spend much of each day typing — a well-designed keyboard is a requirement.
The Apple Magic Keyboard offers a complete set of QWERTY keys (naturally), plus a row of function keys. These make controlling your music or the backlights on your Mac screen as easy as pushing a button. The top of the keyboard is tilted up toward the user slightly.
The peripheral is full-featured, but not bulky. There’s no wasted space, so it won’t crowd your desk. Speaking of saving space, it uses Bluetooth for a wireless connection. There’s no need for a cable, and you can position the keyboard however you like.
This is the older version of Apple Magic Keyboard, so its internal battery charges via a Lightning port, not like the newest USB-C version. Just keep in mind that you’ll only need to charge the device maybe once a month. Plus it comes with a Lightning cable, and odds are you already have a few of these anyway. The charging port certainly doesn’t affect the typing experience.
The keyboard works with any Mac. That’s a desktop (obviously), but many people put their MacBook on a stand and use an external keyboard. The same goes for iPad — put the tablet in a stand and get really productive with a wireless keyboard like this one.
Sales knock 20% off
The list price for the Apple Magic Keyboard with Lightning port is $99, but you can ignore that. An Amazon sale lowered the cost down to $79, saving you 20%.
Buy it from: Amazon

If you really want the USB-C version — which we reviewed at its launch — it’s also available from Amazon. It costs the full $99, though.
