Angle issue

Angles from 90 degrees to 120 degrees are fine. It's just that it can't be completely reversed 360 degrees like the old Smart Keyboard for use as a tablet, which is a bit troublesome (it's more convenient to take it out and use it).Keyboard touch

It has been replaced with a scissor keyboard on the same level as the MacBook Air. The typing feel is much better than that of the old Smart Keyboard. With a deeper key travel and full of rebound force, it is much better to type than the old Smart Keyboard.

Moreover, the Magic Keyboard is also equipped with a track pad. Although the area is smaller than that of a normal MacBook, it is still sufficient for cursor operation. It is fine for typing or for video editing and photo retouching. And it fully supports two-finger and three-finger operations, which is very convenient for switching apps and deleting apps.

There is an additional USB Type-C charging port on the left.Summary
