Magic Keyboard, Magic Mouse, and Magic Trackpad work wirelessly with your Mac via Bluetooth when they're paired and turned on.

If your devices came with a new iMac, they're already paired with the computer. Just turn them on when you first turn on your Mac. To make sure that your device is turned on, check its power switch. If green is visible, the device is on.

If you bought your devices separately — or if they've become unpaired from your Mac — follow the steps below to pair them.

How to set up your wireless device

Follow these steps to set up your Magic Keyboard, Magic Mouse, or Magic Trackpad:

Connect a Lightning to USB Cable¹ or a USB-C to Lightning Cable to the Lightning port on the device² and connect the other end of the cable to your Mac.
Make sure that the device's power switch is in the ON position. (Green is visible under the switch when the device is on.)
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.
Check the Bluetooth preferences window to see your device's charge level. When the device is charged, unplug it for wireless use.

Turn the device off, then start again at step 1.)
