Which of the zillions of different connectors do I need to charge up a "magic" keyboard?

I just spent a bunch of money on a so-called "magic" keyboard, and it did not come with any way to connect it to my laptop. Does it just "magically" charge itself?

If it's Apple's Magic Keyboard, it should have come with a USB to Lightning cable that you use to charge it. The cable is USB-A, so you may need a USB-C-to-A adapter to connect it to a newer MacBook Pro, but you could also charge it using any USB-A charger (like the little wall warts from iPhones, etc.).


The Lightning connector is what's on iPhones.
