I think the only thing to be aware of is that you may want to purchase a wrist wrest. I found my wrists being strained by the keyboard's form factor, but this was remedied by raising them above the board.
I recently purchased a stand that elevated my MacBook Pro to a more comfortable height for me. That introduced a new hurdle to overcome and that was the fact that now I needed a keyboard to place underneath it. This model is slightly older and it does require an adaptive connector because Apple has an annoying tendency to keep making changes to connection ports on their devices. Luckily, I already had this adaptor.
With very little effort, they keyboard was connected and running. I greatly prefer the feel of this keyboard to that of the one that is physically attached to the MacBook Pro. I make fewer typing mistakes and I like the tactile sensation that it offers. I tend to leave it switched on all the time as opposed to continually switching it on and off and the charge lasts quite some time. I wish that there were some kind of warning it provided me with when it starts running low, but when I type and nothing comes out on the screen, I know that it must be running on empty.
I'm still not sure if buying a cheaper keyboard wouldn't have been just as good of an experience. I just firmly believe in Apple and wanted to be consistent. But, the old adage that "you get what you pay for" seems to be justified and I strongly endorse this product!

When I need to write a long ass essay the Magic keyboard are my go to. it's very satisficing to type with and the battery life is amazing. Compatible with Mac and Windows.
NOT GOOD FOR GAMING the switches just can't compete with a mechanical keyboard in terms of gaming features.
Other than this, it's a very nice keyboard—light, responsive, easy to pair with Apple devices, and keeps its charge well.
