How Can I Tell If My Magic Keyboard Needs To Be Charged?

To check the charge level of your Magic Keyboard, open the Control Center in macOS Catalina or later and click Bluetooth. A graphic and numeric percentage will indicate the current charge level of your keyboard. If the charge level is below 100, you can connect the keyboard to a power source to recharge it. 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.

To know if your Magic Keyboard is charging, go to the Bluetooth settings on your computer and look for your device. You will see a percentage next to your keyboard if it is charging. To check the battery level of your Apple Wireless keyboard, click the Bluetooth icon in the menu bar and select the mouse, keyboard, or trackpad. A box should appear that shows the charge status (in gray).

To check the battery level on an iPad, click the Apple symbol () in the menu bar, top-left. To monitor the battery remaining on your Apple Bluetooth keyboard and Magic Mouse 2, enable “Show Bluetooth in menu bar” in Bluetooth system preference. Click the Bluetooth icon in the menu bar and select the mouse, keyboard, or trackpad. A box should appear that shows the charge status (in gray).

To check the percentage level next to the Magic Keyboard in the “My Devices” column, you can open Control Center, go to Bluetooth, and view the status of your keyboard and mouse batteries. Connect a USB-C power cable to the power port on the Magic Keyboard.
