Brief conclusions of the comparison keyboards

Keyboards Apple Magic Keyboard (2024) and Apple Magic Keyboard (2021) have similar features such as connection type (Bluetooth), range (10 m), format (ultra-compact without a Num Pad), as well as low key travel and island-style keys with a scissor mechanism. Both devices are powered by a battery with a runtime of up to 30 days and have a USB-C charging port. However, unlike the 2021 model, the new 2024 version does not have significant updates, making the choice mainly a matter of design preference and available colors. While both keyboards are available in white, the 2021 model also offers a silver option. Users note that both keyboards provide a comfortable typing experience.
