Apple Wireless Keyboard Shortcut Keys Not Working

The Apple Magic Wireless Keyboard w/ Numeric Keypad is one of the best keyboards I have owned. It is very slim and feels reminiscent of the MacBook Pro I used to own. I love having the numeric keypad off to the side, as I use it a lot. Battery life is amazing. When I first got this one, I had forgotten to turn it off at the end of the day and left it on for a few days straight.....only to find that it still has battery life left. It charges quickly, with the included cable, and syncs automatically without requiring you to go through the normal steps like you would bluetooth ear buds or something. The only thing I wish the keyboard had - that it doesn't have - is backlit keys. I'm sure there is an aftermarket option somewhere that would offer the backlit keys, but this one fit my budget and is a very solid keyboard.

This mouse and keyboard set works well. No connectivity issues and useful shortcut keys on the keyboard.

Nice keyboard. It is heavy unlike other plastic keyboards. The keys are very responsive. I like that the shortcut keys on the function keys is active instead of having to do a series of actions to use these functions. I would recommend this to anyone. Nice light functions also.

Thin, light and responsive! This 'no frills' keyboard actually has some neat features, with very useful shortcut keys. The unifying usb receiver is low profile and synced to my logitech mouse, previously purchased. Works well!

This is a great keyboard for general purpose usage, and image editing. The keys are large and easily visible, they also feel good to push, not sponge-y but not loud and click-y either. I didn't think I'd enjoy the LED backlight for the keys, but I actually have grown to LOVE it; it's a big help when in low light areas. Only thing that could be improved upon, while it does have shortcut keys for volume, media, and some web browsing, there isn't a Sleep shortcut key (unless you re-map it). A small gripe, but I find Sleep to be more useful than web shortcuts.

Great keyboard. I really like the shortcut keys along the top. No num-lock light, but that's not usually a problem.

Upgraded from the old 2013 Apple Wireless Keyboard to this one and I like the scissor switch keys on this one way more than the chiclet style keys on my old keyboard. There is a nice feel to it and the Space Gray color fits the trackpad. With the numeric keypad, the trackpad is a little more off to the right than before, but I'll get used to it.

VERY happy to have a full wireless keyboard made by Apple. Didn't know how much I missed those numeric keys.

If you're debating this keyboard, I recommend it. Here are some minor benefits I've enjoyed: - Backlit keys when color grading in a dark room - Sturdy and doesn't slide on the desk - Bluetooth and wired work seamlessly The surprise benefit is that this keyboard works in Bluetooth mode to enter my password after a complete shutdown and power-up. None of the other non-Apple Bluetooth keyboards I own will do this. They work after a RESTART but not on POWER-UP. I was very impressed that they got this right. NOTE: The following was true when I wrote this review on September 5, 2024. This might sound very nitpicky, but the insert card that came with a keyboard directed me to the following website: Logickeyboard.com/shortcut There is no guide for FCPX. I emailed to inquire about this and was sent a link to the Apple website containing the 900+ page user manual. The shortcut guide is more of a nice to have, but I thought I would call it out anyway.

i really didn't want to spend so much money for this keyboard with No Function Keys, like i had on my Brydge Keyboard ( junk, don't buy it ) i read the reviews on Limited Viewing Angle. i wanted Backlit Keys for sure. my Smart Keyboard is a disappointment, so i expected better this time around. when i first got the Magic, it Froze my Screen & App for about 4-5 times, which freaked me out a little. now all is well, i Like it, works great. No Internal Battery to worry about not holding a charge like other 3rd party keyboards ( runs off IPad Battery ) cmd & H is the Home Key combo, the Audio still has to be Adjusted with the Top Buttons or the Swipe Down Control Center. i am very happy to have a Well Working Apple Keyboard for my 12.9 IPad Pro. you will too but it is very pricey like everything Apple
