Apple Releases Magic Keyboard, Trackpad, and Mouse with USB-C

Today, Apple finally released USB-C versions of the Magic Keyboard, Magic Mouse, and Magic Trackpad in white and black. The accessories don’t appear to have changed substantially from the models they replace, except for the fact that they can be connected to a Mac and charged using a standard USB-C cable instead of a Lightning cable.

That’s a big win and a change I’ve been waiting for, but there appears to be one big problem with the peripheral update: as of publication, there no longer seems to be a Magic Keyboard available without a numeric keypad. I hope that changes, because I greatly prefer the more compact version.

The new accessories are available to order now from Apple’s Online Store. The Magic Keyboard starts at $179, the Magic Mouse starts at $79, and the Magic Trackpad starts at $129, with a $20 markup to get each accessory in black.

Update: The smaller Magic Keyboard is now available with a USB-C connector for $149.
