Using magic keyboard with multiple apple/bluetooth devices

Does the new magic keyboard for mac silicon support switching between multiple bluetooth devices (eg., ipad, iphone, mac)?


For example I have a Logitech MX Keys which has 3 buttons and each of them can be configured to connect to a different device. So switching between devices (eg., macbook to ipad to phone) is very quick and simple. I'd like to buy the magic keyboard but before doing so I'd like to know if this feature is supported.

No, the Apple Magic Keyboard DOES NOT support multiple devices.


In fact, before replying to your thread I just tried it out and ended up "confusing" all my devices and the keyboard no longer worked on any of my Apple devices.


I had to use forget devices on both Apple devices and re-pair the keyboard for it to work again. *Sigh*.
