In June 2017, the "Magic Keyboard with Numeric Keypad" was introduced, and there are rumours that some symbol legends would have been updated also. Peculiarly though, the 2021 models have model numbers starting with "MK2" whereas earlier Magic Keyboards don't. Partly because of this numbering, Macintosh users often erroneously call the keyboard "Magic Keyboard 2" and the Apple Aluminium Keyboard range "Magic Keyboard 1", whereas Apple itself has never used those monikers. It was released in 2015 simultaneously with the Magic Mouse 2 and the Magic Trackpad 2, with the trackpad made to match the lower profile of the Magic Keyboard. The first in the line was the compact desktop "Magic Keyboard" in white/silver made as a successor to the aluminium "Apple Wireless Keyboard". The convention originates with the "Magic Mouse", selected to one-up the name "Mighty Mouse" - which Apple could not use after receiving a lawsuit for trademark infringement. The "Magic Keyboard" is the third product line with the "Magic" moniker. 3.5 2021 "Magic Keyboard with Touch ID and Numeric Keypad" MK2C3LL.3.4 2021 "Magic Keyboard with Touch ID" MK293LL.3.2 "Magic Keyboard with Numeric Keypad".Standalone models are also available separately.
