why does my apple magic keyboard work with the switch turned off?
I notice that--having long-since paired my Magic Keyboard 2 (the rechargeable one) and Magic Trackpad 2--that while the switch on the back face of the trackpad does indeed turn OFF the trackpad, and it no longer works once I do that, that the switch on the back of my keyboard seems to have no affect at all on function.
In other words, I can turn off the switch on my rechargeable magic keyboard and it continues to work just fine.
Can anyone explain why this is? What function does the switch have? Just for pairing only? (Or do I have a defective--though working--keyboard?)
Thanks
