FBA-D009: Weight: 0.68 kg = 1.4991 lb = 23.9863 oz: Category: Keyboards  Bluetooth Keyboard: Tag: bluetooth keyboard, Bluetooth Keyboard for Mac OS, Rechargeable Keyboard, Wireless Rechargeable Keyboard, Multi-Device Bluetooth Keyboard, Full Size keyboard, Bluetooth Keyboard for MacBook. The Magic Keyboard is a wireless, rechargeable keyboard that comes included with most Mac computers. However, those of us who are on old Macs or want a new keyboard, the small Magic keyboard might. Replaced my Logitech MX keys for this. The blue clicky switches are perfect for me, a nice crisp audible click. Bluetooth mode works great and is Mac compatible. Only thing missing is flip up feet. There's no other keyboard on the market that packs so many features into a low profile mechanical keyboard.
What's Bluetooth?Bluetooth is a wireless technology that makes short-range connections between devices (like your Mac, and a mouse or keyboard) at distances up to 10 meters (approximately 30 feet).
And with Bluetooth, your iPhone or iPad can create a 'Personal Hotspot' to provide Internet access for your Mac through your wireless service provider. Learn more about creating a Personal Hotspot with your iOS device.
Find out if your Mac has BluetoothMost Mac computers come with Bluetooth technology built-in. You can check to see if your computer supports Bluetooth:
Look for the Bluetooth icon in the menu bar. If the Bluetooth icon is present, your computer has Bluetooth.
Choose System Preferences from the Apple menu, then click Bluetooth. If the Bluetooth preferences lists options for enabling Bluetooth and making your device discoverable, Bluetooth is installed.
From theApplemenu, choose About this Mac, then click More Info. Select Bluetooth from the Hardware section. If the Hardware Setting section shows information, your system has Bluetooth installed.
About Bluetooth menu bar iconsThe Bluetooth menu bar icon in the upper-right of your display gives you information about the status of Bluetooth and connected devices:
 Bluetooth is on, but there are no devices connected to your Mac. If you expect a wireless device to be connected, make sure it's turned on.

 Bluetooth is on and at least one wireless device is connected.
 At least one wireless device has a low battery. Click the Bluetooth icon to identify the affected device, then replace its batteries.
 Bluetooth is off. Click the Bluetooth icon using a wired mouse or trackpad or the built-in trackpad on your Mac notebook and select Turn Bluetooth On.
Mac computers without built-in trackpads won't allow Bluetooth to be turned off unless a USB mouse is connected.
 Bluetooth is offline and unavailable. Restart your Mac. If the Bluetooth status doesn't change, disconnect all USB devices and restart your Mac again. If Bluetooth continues to show as unavailable, you might need to get your Mac serviced.
Pair your Mac with a Bluetooth deviceBluetooth wireless devices are associated with your computer through a process called pairing. After you pair a device, your Mac automatically connects to it anytime it's in range.
If your Mac came with a wireless keyboard, mouse, or trackpad, they were pre-paired at the factory. Turn on the devices and your Mac should automatically connect to them when your computer starts up.
If you purchased your Apple wireless devices separately, learn how to pair them with your Mac.
After you pair a Bluetooth device with your Mac, you should see it listed in Bluetooth preferences:

Remove a Bluetooth device from your MacIf you want to remove (unpair) a Bluetooth device from your Mac's device list, follow these steps:
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Bluetooth.
Hover the pointer over the device you want to remove, then click the button that appears next to the device's name.
After you remove a Bluetooth device, you'll have to repeat the pairing process if you want to use it again.
Connect to Bluetooth devices after wake or startupBluetooth devices are usually available a few moments after your Mac completes its startup process. After waking from sleep, your Mac should find Apple wireless devices right away. Other wireless devices can take up to 5 seconds to be recognized. You might need to click a button on your wireless mouse to wake it up.
Some Bluetooth devices, such as audio headsets, might disconnect to conserve the device's battery power after no audio or data is present for a certain amount of time. When this happens, you might need to push a button on the device to make it active again. Check the documentation that came with your device for more information.
Wake your computer with Bluetooth devicesYou can click your paired Bluetooth mouse or press a key on your paired Bluetooth keyboard to wake your Mac. You might need to press the space bar on the keyboard.
If clicking the mouse or pressing a key doesn't wake the computer, you might need to allow wireless devices to wake up your computer:
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Bluetooth.
Click Advanced.
Select the checkbox next to Allow Bluetooth Devices to wake this computer.
Connect multiple Bluetooth devices to one computerThe official Bluetooth specifications say seven is the maximum number of Bluetooth devices that can be connected to your Mac at once.
However, three to four devices is a practical limit, depending on the types of devices used. Some devices require more Bluetooth data, so they're more demanding than other devices.t perform reliably, try turning off devices you aren't using or unpair them from your Mac.
Fix interference from other household devicesBluetooth shares the 2.4 GHz ISM band with other household devices such as cordless telephones, wireless networks, baby monitors, and microwave ovens. If you see issues with your Bluetooth devices that you suspect might be due to frequency congestion, see AirPort and Bluetooth: Potential sources of wireless interference for further information.
Press startup keys on a Bluetooth keyboardYou can press keys immediately after startup to have your Mac perform functions like selecting a startup disk, using the recovery partition, or resetting NVRAM.
