Overview
Not just a typing surface, Apple's Magic Keyboard with Touch ID adds a fingerprint sensor that authenticates logins and purchases on a Mac. It runs wireless on an internal rechargeable battery and pairs and charges through a USB-C cable plugged into the Mac.
Fingerprint sign-in removes most password typing, and pairing happens on its own once the cable meets the Mac. Battery gaps are long, measured in weeks rather than days. The listing stays quiet on the wireless standard, range and backlighting, so judge it on Touch ID and typing feel.
Who it's for
Desk setups built around a Mac, where passwords and purchase approvals come up many times a day, get the most from the sensor. Windows and iPad users should look elsewhere, since the listing describes Mac pairing only.
Pros and cons
- Touch ID for logins and purchases
- Pairs with a Mac automatically
- Charges over the included woven USB-C cable
- Weeks of use between charges
- Wireless standard and range not listed
- US English layout only in this listing
- Mac use only, other platforms unmentioned
- Battery is internal, charged by cable only
Performance notes
Typing feel depends on the key mechanism, which the maker describes as comfortable and precise. Touch ID reads a fingerprint on the sensor and confirms it with the Mac, so logins and purchases skip the password prompt. Battery life stretches because the internal cell only needs a cable top-up roughly monthly.
