Which model is the "Magic Keyboard 2"? I don't see any keyboard products in the apple store with a "2"
Is it one or both of these?

Apple is no longer selling the original magic keyboard, so those are the right product. They are wireless, and charge with a lightning cable.
They will also present as a USB HID when plugged in via USB/lightning, so they can be used with any workstation even without Bluetooth.
The version with number pad is my go-to.
Interestingly, the way you pair it with the Mac is to plug it in. When you unplug it is magically paired. It was embarrassing how long it took me to figure this out the first time.
Great to know, thanks!
It has a very good mechanical feel, and it reduces latency perhaps due to shallow action point and/or firmware tweaks [1]. Also, it's really easy to source ANSI layouts outside the US.
I do in fact prefer it to my blue ALPS keyboard for long typing sessions.
