Charge a Magic Keyboard, Magic Mouse 2, or Magic Trackpad 2 with Mac
When you connect your Apple Magic Keyboard, Magic Mouse 2, or Magic Trackpad 2 to your Mac, it automatically charges.
Connect one end of a Lightning to USB Cable to your Magic Keyboard, Magic Mouse 2, or Magic Trackpad 2 and the other end to the USB port on your Mac. Depending on your Mac, you may need an adapter, which is available from an Apple Store or on apple.com.
You can use your Magic Keyboard or Magic Trackpad 2 while it’s connected to your Mac, but you can’t use your Magic Mouse 2 when it’s connected to its charging cable.
When your keyboard, mouse, or trackpad is charged, you receive a notification on your screen or display that you can disconnect the cable and use your device wirelessly.
Thanks for your feedback.
