peripherals are a boon to
the modern office,
particularly when we’re
working at home, and not dealing with
cables helps with sanity and organization.
Battery-powered mice, trackpads, and
keyboards can function for several weeks
to many months on a single full charge
over USB or with rechargeable batteries.
But Apple doesn’t display this charge
in an obvious place as it does with a
laptop’s battery level, since you don’t need
to be quite as worried as you do about
having your mobile computer suddenly run
out of juice.
Check the keyboard, mouse, and
trackpad battery level in macOS
While it’s not a secret, you have to hunt to find the current charges for your Magic
Keyboard, third-party mouse, and similar wireless devices’.
