Setup and Connection
Your Magic Keyboard can be connected wirelessly via Bluetooth or directly via a USB to Lightning cable for initial pairing and charging.

- On your Mac, go to System Settings (or System Preferences) > Bluetooth.
- Ensure Bluetooth is turned on.
- Your Magic Keyboard should appear in the list of nearby devices. Click Connect next to its name.
- Follow any on-screen prompts to complete the pairing process.
If the keyboard does not appear, try connecting it to your Mac using the USB to Lightning cable. This will automatically pair it and charge it.
