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 tilts up slightly toward the user.

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 USB-C version that comes without a Touch ID button. For that added biometric convenience, you’ll pay a hefty premium. (Read our review of the upgraded model: New Apple Magic Keyboard is still a high price to pay for Touch ID.)

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 you can get really productive with a wireless keyboard like this one.

Sales knock 19% 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 $79.99, saving you 19%.
