The Apple Bluetooth keyboard uses a Lightning Cable. The same cable used to charge the iPhone, the AirPods, some versions of the iPad, the iPod Touch.


The Lightning cables come with either a USB-A plug on one end and a lightening plug on the other. Or a USB-C plug on one end and a Lightening plug on the other. Both will work. Get the USB-A or USB-C cable depending on whether you have a Mac with USB-C ports (2016 or newer) or USB-A ports (2015 or older)
