Now that the Mac Pro and Pro Display XDR are officially available to order, Apple has confirmed that the new color variant of the Magic Keyboard, Mouse, and Trackpad will only come with the new pro machine for now. And the same goes for Apple’s first black USB-C to Lightning cable.
Back at WWDC when the Mac Pro was first unveiled, Apple showed off the new black and silver Magic Keyboard, Mouse, and Trackpad. However, it went under the radar with it looking similar to the space gray variants, especially in low light.
One interesting tidbit as discovered in image assets by Steve Troughton-Smith is that it looked like Apple would offer a black and silver Magic Keyboard without numpad for the Mac Pro.
However, at the time of writing, Apple only shows the black and silver Magic Keyboard with number keypad as coming with the Mac Pro, with no option for a keyboard without the numpad.

Further, Apple highlights that the black and silver Magic Trackpad is only available with the purchase of a Mac Pro. And the Magic Keyboard and Magic Mouse are also not available to purchase as standalone accessories.
Time will tell if this will create silly aftermarket prices of the new Magic accessories’ black and silver color on sites like eBay. That’s what we saw with the iMac Pro launch and the exclusive (for a time) space gray Magic Keyboard, Trackpad, and Mouse.
The Mac Pro also appears to include Apple’s first black USB-C to Lightning cable in the box.
For what it’s worth, the space gray accessories became available on their own about three months after the iMac Pro first launched.

FAQS
Apple Magic Keyboard Black Without Numeric Keypad
Will this work with X device?
The tré just works with Apple Magic Keyboards and Trackpad 2 Tray for now, and connectivity is dependent on compatibility with those devices. The Apple Magic Keyboards work as a bluetooth keyboard with many models of computer, mobile, or tablet. Some features are limited to iOS and MacOS. Magic Trackpad 2 works on both Mac and other desktop operating systems as an alternative to a mouse. Some features only work with MacOS. Contact us if you have any questions. info@purposemade.org
Does the tray interfere with the connectivity of the devices?
No, we’ve tested this extensively and haven’t had issues with the tray interfering with the bluetooth connection of the devices to the computer.
Can I charge the devices while they’re in the tray?
In a word, no, but to the credit of the amazing designers, developers and engineers at Apple, the batteries in the Magic Keyboard and Trackpad have an extremely long life. In our experience, with heavy daily use the keyboard’s charge will last a few months, and the trackpad several weeks. So charging happens so rarely it’s rarely a functional concern. To keep the design of the tré Magic Keyboard and Trackpad 2 Tray as minimal and elegant as we could we haven’t extended the thicknesses to accommodate charging cord access while they’re in the tray. We recommend pulling the devices out of the tray and charging them overnight after they get below 10%.
Do you make this out of wood/bamboo? Why foam PVC?
We don’t, and believe us we tried. The challenges with using natural material like wood or bamboo is that they are not stable when machined to such a minimal profile, and they expand, contract, and warp depending on moisture and temperature in a given environment. Foam PVC is a stable, lightweight, and durable material that can be worked and finished just like wood. We found that with the current method of production this produces the highest quality we can get the tré Magic Keyboard and Trackpad 2 Tray to.
How do the trackpad and keyboard stay in the tray?
The tré Magic Keyboard and Trackpad 2 Tray is designed to hold the devices in place snugly without clips or latches. To get the devices in place just slide one edge in the pocket and give the device a little tap to get it in place. The tray is designed with a little groove to easily pull the devices back out.
Voicemod for mac. Will my palms interfere with the device or errantly click the trackpad while working?
In short, yes. If you use ‘tap to click’ to click on an object with a soft touch without actually depressing the trackpad button then we have seen errant inputs from the palms while typing. We have created a bumper that helps with this issue. See our store to order or contact us at info@purposemade.org
