Share
Apple fans, the wait is over! Apple has officially refreshed its Magic Mouse, Magic Trackpad, and Magic Keyboard with USB-C, marking a move away from Lightning for these popular Mac accessories. Whether you’re getting a new iMac with color-matched accessories or just upgrading your setup, here’s everything you need to know about these updated Magic accessories.
Magic Mouse (USB-C) – $79
The Magic Mouse now comes with a USB-C port for charging, making it easy to power up alongside your other devices with a single USB-C cable. The Magic Mouse keeps its sleek design with an optimized foot to glide smoothly across your desk and a Multi-Touch surface for intuitive gestures like swiping and scrolling.
The rechargeable battery lasts for about a month between charges, so you can stay productive without constantly reaching for the charger. It pairs automatically with your Mac right out of the box and now includes a woven USB-C Charge Cable, bringing added durability and flexibility to your charging setup.
Magic Trackpad (USB-C) – $129
Apple’s Magic Trackpad also gets a USB-C upgrade, giving users a seamless, cable-free experience that easily fits into any workspace. This trackpad is packed with features:
- Multi-Touch gestures for navigating, swiping, and scrolling with ease.
- Force Touch technology that senses subtle pressure differences, adding extra depth to your interactions.
With an edge-to-edge glass surface, scrolling through documents, swiping between apps, or navigating complex spreadsheets feels natural and smooth. It pairs with your Mac automatically and charges with the included woven USB-C cable, giving you about a month’s use on a single charge.
And if you’re planning to use Apple Vision Pro, the Magic Trackpad works seamlessly for 3D activities, like arranging apps in space or navigating complex tasks in virtual workspaces.
Magic Keyboard Lineup (USB-C)
Apple also updated its Magic Keyboard with a USB-C port across its range, including options with Touch ID and a Numeric Keypad:
- Magic Keyboard (USB-C) – $99
- Magic Keyboard with Touch ID (USB-C) – $149
- Magic Keyboard with Touch ID and Numeric Keypad (USB-C) – $179
The Magic Keyboard’s comfortable typing experience remains the same, with Apple’s precise scissor-switch keys providing a responsive feel. The rechargeable battery lasts over a month, letting you work wirelessly without needing frequent charges. Pairing is automatic, so you can get started immediately on your Mac or Apple Vision Pro.
Just like the other Magic accessories, the Magic Keyboard now includes a woven USB-C cable for easy charging and a uniform cable setup.
A Colorful Touch for iMac
If you’re purchasing a new iMac, these accessories are available in color-matched options to complement the iMac’s vibrant color lineup. However, standalone purchases from the Apple Store are available in standard colors only, so if you’re after a specific color scheme, the iMac bundle is the way to go!
Final Thoughts: Streamlined Charging and Great Design
With these USB-C upgrades, Apple’s Magic accessories are more streamlined than ever, allowing users to charge and connect with a single cable. Whether you’re a longtime Magic accessory fan or looking to upgrade, this refresh brings more flexibility, seamless integration with macOS and Vision Pro, and a cohesive experience for Apple’s newest devices.
