How does it connect? Wirelessly? Why the Thunderbolt to USB cable then?

AnswerPer the manual, you connect the keyboard to the mac using the included USB A to lightning cable, turn on the keyboard. the mac will setup the Bluetooth pairing automatically, then you can unplug the cable and use it over Bluetooth. The USB to lightning cable is used for charging after that point (and I suspect, when pairing to a new computer/device).

Does this keyboard support anti-ghosting? If so, to how many keys?
Apple's older compact bluetooth keyboards are very limited in terms of ghosting. (Try to get it to recognize combinations of keypresses more than 2 at a time and it gets very iffy.) This makes it hard to use to play games with. How about this new keyboard?
