Magic Keyboard work with no bluetooth?

[macmaster2000]

Has anyone here tried the newer Magic Keyboard with only the lightning cable? I don't have a bluetooth adapter, and I need to know if it can work without it.

It works through the Lightening cable yes. But you maybe better off with the apple wired keyboard.
