Apple’s Magic Mouse, Keyboard, and TrackPad finally get USB-C

Gadgets

Apple’s EU mandated transition from Lightning to USB-C has already affected most of its hardware. There have been a few stragglers, however. Near the top of the list are its desktop accessories, the Magic Mouse, Magic Keyboard, and Magic Trackpad. On Monday, the company finally addressed the issue.

Along with an M4 refresh to the iMac, Apple has begun selling USB-C versions of its accessories. The prices remain the same as their Lightning predecessors at $199 for the Magic Keyboard with Touch ID and numeric keypad, $149 for the Magic TrackPad, and $99 for the Magic Mouse.

All three are available in black and white options. Color-matched versions will also be shipping with the new iMac.

Unlike the new iMac, which won’t start shipping until November 8, all of the accessories can be purchased now and shipped immediately. Beyond the port swap, not much has changed about the devices, down to the oft-criticized decision to put port on the bottom of the Magic Mouse.

The new iMac, accessory refresh, and arrival of Apple Intelligence are the first of what the company promises to be a week of announcements. Recent rumors include the arrive of a new Mac Mini measuring roughly the same size as Apple TV.
