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 (A1843, A2520 et A3119 for the numeric keypad 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 with Numeric Keypad 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 with Numeric Keypad 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.

Recommended tools for some keys

Optional but handy: the spudger lifts the key without scratching or bending the mechanism, and the thin blade of the flat screwdriver unhooks the plastic hinge and helps clip it back in.

About the > / . key

A genuine > / . key for the Apple Magic Keyboard with Numeric Keypad, hinge included. It is the repair the official channel does not offer: at Apple, one broken key writes off the entire 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 with Numeric Keypad and refits the same chassis. Your keyboard's model number is engraved underneath the case in small type: A1843, A2520 et A3119 for the numeric keypad 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 QWERTY (US) 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 with Numeric Keypad 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.

Check your keyboard's brand

You are looking at a Apple key. Keycap and hinge differ between brands: this key will not fit an Logitech keyboard.
