Twelve South’s MagicWand is the kind of device you may need to look at for a few moments before you figure out if you need it. Let me speed that process along for you; you do. If you use Apple’s Wireless Keyboard and the Magic Trackpad, you do. If you haven’t yet been able to justify the purchase of the Magic Trackpad, this is it.

If you’re sick of replacing the batteries in your Apple Wireless Keyboard or Magic Trackpad, you’ll be happy to know that Mobee just announced another inductive charging solution for these devices called the Magic Bar. Very similar to its Magic Mouse inductive charger, this accessory will keep you from needing to replace those batteries all the time and instead recharge without removing them from the device.

I’m not much a fan of keyboard covers. I mean, I get their importance; I learned that on my first freelance gig for a guy who happened to be a heavy smoker. Although his walls, curtains, computer and desktop had all turned various shades of a sickly yellow color, his keyboard was sparkly clean because it was under a protective silicone cover. Made me wish I had one for my lungs.

But I’ve never liked the feel of them, aside from on laptops. The covers made the keys feel squishy, like trying to type through a balloon. And although they generally fit fairly well, there would inevitably one or two keys the cover had to stretch to fit, causing it to sit too high on the neighboring keys. Except for in the most extreme of work environments, keyboard covers just were never worth the effort.

GadgetWrap’s KeySkins have put an end to that, making them the first keyboard protectors I will continue to use once the review period is over.
