The Magic Keyboard 2 is a pointing device that was designed, manufactured, and currently sold by Apple since 2021 as part of the Apple Keyboard series. The Keyboard has been introduced on April 20, 2021, alongside the all-new iMac, Magic Mouse 2, Magic Trackpad 2 in new colors, and Magic Keyboard 2 with Touch ID.
The new Magic Keyboard comes in 7 colors: Blue, Green, Pink, Silver, Yellow, Orange, and Purple. Colors are the same as housing in new color variants of iMacs. A new keyboard will be bundled with a color-matching iMac.
On August 3, 2021, Apple released Magic Keyboard as a standalone purchase only in Silver color for just $99.
The new Magic Keyboard 2 features the same iconic design as the original Magic Keyboard, new more rounded corners, and new function keys: Emoji, Spotlight, Dictation, Do Not Disturb, and Lock.
