Magic Keyboard with Touch ID for Mac Models with Apple Silicon - US English ​​​​​​​, Bluetooth

I bought the Apple Magic Keyboard with Touch ID to replace my Zoom65 V2, and for my situation, it ended up being the better keyboard by a lot. My desk has to serve two different roles. Most of the time, it is my study and Mac setup. When I want to game on my PC, I swap over to my Wooting 60HE and Finalmouse. Because of that, I need my Mac keyboard to be compact, easy to move, and practical. The Magic Keyboard is extremely light, and that matters more than I expected. I can move it out of the way instantly when I need more desk space or when I switch from my Mac setup to my gaming setup. My old Zoom65 V2 was a much more enthusiast-focused keyboard. I liked the marbly sound a lot, and I will miss that part of it. But it was thick, heavy, and harder to move around. It also felt larger than it needed to be for my desk. The Magic Keyboard is much thinner, much lighter, and much easier to live with every day. The layout is also more practical for Mac use. Even though it is compact, it still gives me the function row and Touch ID. Compared with my old 65% custom keyboard, it feels like I am getting more useful Mac-specific functionality in a cleaner and thinner footprint. I included a photo of the Meletrix/Zoom65 so buyers can see the size difference compared with a typical custom 65% keyboard. Touch ID is one of the biggest reasons I chose this keyboard. I have an Apple Watch, and it is good for unlocking my MacBook, but it does not fully replace Touch ID. For some password prompts, using the watch is slower because I still have to double-click it. For other things, like inserting passwords in Chrome, my Mac still asks for Touch ID or my password. That is when I realized that my next keyboard needed Touch ID built in. Before buying this, I would leave my MacBook lid open just so I could use the built-in Touch ID sensor. It worked, but I did not like keeping my MacBook open all day just for that. It took up more space and made the laptop collect dust. Having Touch ID directly on the keyboard solves that problem. I am still not sure Touch ID alone is worth the full upgrade cost for everyone, but I bought this used for $130, and at that price I think it will pay for itself over time. I do not use Touch ID constantly, but when I need it, I am always glad it is there. The typing experience is also better than I expected. It is not going to beat a custom mechanical keyboard on sound, and the Zoom65 definitely sounded better. But I usually wear headphones when I use my Mac, so sound does not matter as much as comfort, weight, and convenience. The Magic Keyboard is quieter, lower-profile, and more comfortable for long productivity sessions. For gaming, I still prefer a dedicated gaming keyboard like my Wooting 60HE. But for studying, work, browsing, writing, and everyday Mac use, this feels like my endgame productivity keyboard. It is not the most exciting keyboard, but it is one of the most practical ones I have used. Overall, I would recommend it if you want a clean Mac setup, a very light keyboard, Touch ID, and something that is easy to move around. It replaced my custom keyboard because it simply fits my real setup better.

Works great and having the Touch ID on a wireless keyboard is awesome. Charges via USB-C

Even better than the already-great MBP keyboard. Both have Touch ID. I will also not miss the Touch Bar

This keyboard offers a seamless combination of performance and convenience. Its sleek design provides a comfortable typing experience, while the Touch ID feature allows for secure and quick authentication, including unlocking your Mac, making purchases, and more which was something no other keyboards could offer. With its wireless setup and long battery life, it’s both efficient and practical for everyday use and travel use.

Well worth the premium cost, given the build quality, near-silent operation, seamless integration with Apple ecosystem, and comfort. I have Touch ID on my Macbook Air, but having it also on this keyboard is a major plus. Even if you don't type a lot, this keyboard's feel and responsiveness are delightful. It looks great, too.

I tried a third party Satechi keyboard and after a few months it started dropping key strokes. So I decided since my M 4 Mac mini supports Touch ID I would buy the Magic Keyboard. I like it well enough it's more expensive but I became a fan of Touch ID on my MacBook Air. Soon as I turned the keyboard on it paired with my Mac mini. That's really part of the benefit you get with Apple hardware. I do miss the Satechi backlit keyboard, but the tactile feel is a little better with Apple keyboard.

This is a perfect integration with my new Mac Mini. I added the trackpad and a portable HD screen and I now have a laptop equivalent. Having TouchID on the keyboard is great to quickly get back to Mac without stopping to type a passphrase. The size and construction is perfect (I might seek a slip cover for portability). Charging is rarely needed (I've had this for quite a while and only charged it once (to see how long it would take, but to be fair, the battery was at 80% so I don't really know how long it will last before needing a full charge) the connection is fine and charge speed seems fast). It looks like this should out last the computer it's connected to (and maybe the next). Yes it is pricey, but SO nicey.

Just the thing if you’re using a Mac mini and you’ve been spoiled by the fingerprint sensor on a MacBook Air or such.

This keyboard is the perfect companion for my MacBook. It’s very slim and sophisticated, yet feels sturdy and well-made. The keys are quiet and have a great tactile feel. Delivery was fast and hassle-free. If you’re looking for a keyboard that is both stylish and high-performing, this is the one. Truly satisfied with this purchase! I recently purchased this Apple keyboard for my MacBook, and it is absolutely worth it. It is incredibly sleek, elegant, and has a very thin, beautiful design that fits perfectly on my desk. The typing experience is very smooth and responsive, which is exactly what I was looking for. It arrived perfectly on time, and the build quality is top-notch, as expected from Apple. I’m very satisfied with this purchase and highly recommend it to anyone who appreciates both style and performance. It works like a charm!

Works great, keeps a charge for a long time

Works great.

Love this keyboard! I went from a MacBook Pro to a Mac Mini and was missing the touch ID. This compact keyboard gave me back the touch ID.

Works great and is perfectly adequate as before but Touch ID would only work after I upgraded to MacOS 15. Spent a lot of time troubleshooting before I found that out as the Lightning version worked without any issue on MacOS 14
