Liking the keyboard’s feel, but tired of dealing with the AA batteries, I replaced it with a Magic Keyboard ( Amazon). I had been able to extend its life by making better connections to the batteries, but power problems with this model seem to be common, and eventually something inside of it breaks. And sometimes all that fails and I have to reboot the Mac.Īt first I thought this was due to a hardware problem with my original aluminum Apple keyboard. Sometimes to get it to reconnect I have to reset the Mac’s Bluetooth module by holding down the Option and Shift keys (on the internal keyboard, natch) to access the Debug submenu of the Bluetooth menu bar icon. Sometimes it reconnects only after I power cycle it or toggle Bluetooth. Sometimes it reconnects automatically a few seconds later. Multiple times per day, the keyboard disconnects.
