- Does Touch ID work on an Intel Mac?
- No. Touch ID requires an Apple silicon Mac (M1 or later). On Intel Macs the keyboard types and the function keys work, but the fingerprint sensor does not.
- Does it work with an iPad?
- It pairs over Bluetooth and types on iPads, but Touch ID does not work there. For an iPad, Apple's Magic Keyboard case is the intended option.
- How does it charge and how long does the battery last?
- It charges over USB-C. Apple rates the battery at about a month or more of typical use per charge.
- Is it backlit?
- No. The keys are not illuminated, so it is harder to use in a dark room.
- What is in the box?
- The keyboard and a USB-C to USB-C charging cable. No mouse or adapter is included.
- Is the numeric keypad worth it over the smaller Magic Keyboard?
- If you enter numbers often, yes. The keypad version is about 5 inches wider, so check your desk space first.
