Magic Mouse and Keyboard

I recently purchased second hand Apple Peripherals for my M1 Mac mini that work perfectly however the battery is running low, I tried to plug them in to a USB type C plug and it wouldn't go in, Does anybody know what port they use to charge?

Use a Lightning Cable:

So, the port is on the keyboard, correct? Not the Mac, correct? If so, it is a lightning cable you need.

The Cable: Apple USB-C to Lightning Cable - Apple Support


  1. Go Here: Recharge the Built-in Battery in your Apple Keyboard, Mouse, or Trackpad - Apple Support
  2. As It Reads: "When it's time to charge your device's battery, connect a Lightning to USB cable to its Lightning port, then connect the other end of the cable to your Mac or a USB power adapter."

Which Adapter:

If they run off of a battery, it will eventually die out. Once the battery dies out, it is time to resin tall the battery. When you say "second-hand", do you mean that they are not of Apple brand? If so, contact the manufacturer. If they are Apple, however, then see if this adapter works: USB-C to USB Adapter - Apple Support
