Hi,

Nope.  Depends on the version of MacOS you’re using.  For Catalina and older, 
go to the Menu Extras, to Bluetooth, then VO-arrow through the choices.  There 
should be a heading named devices.  For the Magic Keyboard and other Apple 
connected devices, there should be sub-menus where there are special options 
including the battery level.

In Big Sur and newer, go to the Menu Extras, Control Centre, then this is where 
it gets a little tricky.  If you simply VO-space on the Bluetooth item, it will 
toggle it on/off, but if you VO-shift-space on the Bluetooth item, it will 
pop-up a new screen with devices and related battery levels if available.

HTH.

Later…
