About the < / > key
Replacement < / > key for the Apple Magic Keyboard, taken from a genuine keyboard and supplied with its scissor hinge, so a broken, lost or unresponsive key no longer means replacing the keyboard. Each order covers the single key shown: you are not buying a full cap set to fix one missing key.
Compatibility
This < / > key is taken from a Apple Magic Keyboard and refits the same chassis. Your keyboard's model number is engraved underneath the case in small type: A1644, A2450, A2449, A3118 et A3203 for the compact model. That number is what decides compatibility, not the marketing name — Apple has sold seven different keyboards called "Magic Keyboard" in ten years. Give us that reference when you order: we check the match before dispatch, and the 30-day money-back guarantee covers any compatibility issue. The legend matches the AZERTY (FR) layout, so the printed characters are the ones on your keyboard rather than another language's.
Why the < / > key breaks
The < / > key on the Apple Magic Keyboard sits on a scissor mechanism whose plastic hinge is a few millimetres across. A fingernail catching it, a brisk clean or plain daily use is enough to split it — and a key that stops clicking, or pops off, nearly always starts there.
How to fit it
Place the cap over the scissor hinge and press straight down in the centre until it clicks. No tools, no disassembly, no Bluetooth re-pairing: the keyboard works the moment the key is seated. If the original hinge is split — the most common failure, ahead of the cap itself — clear the fragments out before clipping in the one supplied.
< / > key — frequently asked questions
- How do I know this < / > key fits my keyboard?
- Turn the keyboard over: the model number is engraved underneath the case as an A followed by four digits (A1644, A2450, A2449, A3118 et A3203 for the compact model). Send it with your order. The quickest visual check is the key in the top-right corner — Touch ID, lock or eject — together with the charging port, Lightning or USB-C.
- Does Apple sell individual Magic Keyboard keys?
- No. Apple sells no keys on their own, and its service route replaces the whole keyboard rather than one key. That is why this listing exists: the key sold here comes from a genuine Apple Magic Keyboard that has been taken apart, so the repair costs what a part costs instead of what a keyboard costs.
- Can an MX Keys key replace this one?
- No. Logitech's flat keyboards and the Apple Magic Keyboard both use a scissor mechanism, but their caps have different mounting footprints and do not interchange. An MX Keys key will not sit on a Magic Keyboard, and the reverse holds too.
- Is the hinge included with the < / > key?
- Yes. The cap ships with its scissor hinge, so you can repair a key whose clip has given way — by far the most common failure — and not only a cracked cap.
