Thanks to EU regulations the keyboard is limited to 20gbps data rates instead of the 40gbps that it would be doing over Thunderbolt. I hope your happy now that apple users suffer peasant speeds.

? Thunderbolt is just a fancier usb-c, you can use a usb-c cable with a thunderbolt port and vice-versa. So using thunderbolt is allowed by that law.

Also apple used lightning before, not thunderbolt.

I think you're confusing Thunderbolt with the lightning cable. Hell, even basic USB-C is faster than lightning cable.

But what about the magnets?

I'm very impressed by your typing speed if 20 gbps is a bottleneck

??? AFAIK the keyboard doesn't actually transfer any data over cable, it's all wireless.
