Our take on the Apple Magic Keyboard with Touch ID

A compact tenkeyless wireless keyboard with a Touch ID sensor for unlocking a Mac and approving passwords and purchases. It connects over Bluetooth and charges over USB-C, and its low-profile keys are quiet and stable. It is not backlit and has no numeric keypad. Against rivals it stands out for fingerprint login on the desktop, but it costs more than most third-party wireless keyboards and its Touch ID works only on Apple-silicon Macs.
