150 for a keyboard ain't no deal, son. It's only a deal because Apple set a dumb original price and then lowered to another dumb price, making us feel like something great happened. I must not give in to the brain washing. Not even backlit or USB C. Dumb.
Wow, that is sad it isn't backlit. I hadn't previously realized that (as I hadn't looked too closely at it before).

I recently picked up the Logitech MX Keys for Mac from Amazon for $80 (new, sold by Amazon) which IS backlit and uses USB C. Granted, no Touch ID - but if you can find the MX Keys on sale, it is quite a bit cheaper (even at this $150 sale price). It definitely seems like a solid alternative (with backlighting!).
I had an MX Keys and returned it for the Apple keyboard. The Logitech, while nicely built on paper, just had too many dealbreakers.

Touch ID is incredibly convenient (for login, online passwords, purchases, etc.), and is honestly (for me) worth the increased price by itself. Also, I found the slight alterations in the Logitech layout frustrating. Because the Esc is smaller, the F1-12 keys (which I use for work and some gaming) are offset differently, which confuses my brain and I end up having to look down to make sure I hit the correct key. Also, the modifier keys are changed around on the Logitech, which makes shortcuts require more thinking as opposed to just being muscle memory.

The Apple keyboard is pretty much exactly the same as typing on my MacBook keyboard, from the ways the keys sound, to their depth, and the spacing of the layout itself. I don't ever have to think about which keyboard I'm using. I guess if backlight and USB-C are hard requirements, then this is not the keyboard for you. But I never work in the dark and don't mind having an extra lightning cable that I pull out once a month to charge the keyboard, so it was never a major problem. But the issued I mentioned above definitely were.

Yikes it still uses a lightning port which is outdated nowadays. USB-C would've made this future proof so I'm going to pass!

I just got one and I don't like it. Too low profile, much prefer mechanical.

Does this have the same keystroke as the MacBook Pro M1 or newer?
