FAQ: Setting Up Peripherals (Mac)

How Do I Set Up Apple Magic Peripherals?

These instructions are for Magic Mouse 2, Magic Keyboard, Magic Keyboard with Numeric Keypad, or Magic Trackpad 2 products.

  1. Connect a Lightning to USB Cable or a USB-C to Lightning Cable to the Lightning port on the device and connect the other end of the cable to your Mac. (Magic Mouse 2 can't be used while connected to the cable.)
  2. Make sure that the device's power switch is in the ON position. (Green is visible under the switch when the device is on.)
  3. Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Bluetooth to open the Bluetooth preferences window. When the device pairs with your Mac, it appears in the list of devices.
  4. Check the Bluetooth preferences window to see your device's charge level. When the device is charged, unplug it for wireless use
