Agreed. The only reason would be for TouchID.

I just don't understand Apple's thinking. They make such great products yet their accessories like Magic Mouse and Apple Keyboard are so glaringly deficient.

I would buy an apple keyboard with TouchID in a HEARTBEAT and would pay $200 for it if it came in a MX-like black color, had illuminated keys, good key press and had TouchID

Community Reviews

Apple's Magic Keyboard with Touch ID and Numeric Keypad stands out for Mac users who want Touch ID on an external keyboard, especially in a closed-lid setup where it can wake and unlock the laptop. The extended layout, full-size arrow keys, and numeric keypad add convenience, and Touch ID gets heavy daily use for quick sign-ins. The main knocks are the lack of backlighting and mechanical switches, along with a price that feels hard to justify versus Logitech MX options or cheaper wireless keyboards. It is most compelling when Touch ID is the feature that matters most.

Common Questions (5)

  • For some users, Touch ID is the main value and is used many times a day, making the premium easier to justify. The tradeoff is that the keyboard still lacks backlighting and mechanical switches, so the price can feel high for the feature set.

    cphDave_BmrmochiCrimsonHarrier155

  • Yes. An Apple Watch plus any other wireless keyboard can unlock a closed-lid Mac, and some users prefer an MX-style keyboard setup instead. For Windows, USB fingerprint readers, Windows Hello webcams, fingerprint keyboards, YubiKeys, and phone-based unlock are also options.

    Alexey17ErosDave_BStraightCashHomie

  • Yes. It can wake and unlock a closed-lid MacBook with Touch ID, which is the main reason some buyers want this model. A regular external keyboard can wake the Mac, but Touch ID adds direct unlock without typing the password.

    MrShrugglesGenom71Alexey17

  • No, it does not have backlighting. That omission is a common drawback at this price, especially for buyers expecting illuminated keys on a premium keyboard.

    Dave_BmrmochiCrimsonHarrier155

  • It can reportedly break and stay broken across macOS releases, with no permanent fix in sight in at least one long-running case. If Touch ID is the reason for buying, that risk matters because the keyboard becomes much less useful without it.

Does anyone use the arrow keys for gaming?

This seems pricey for a keyboard with no backlight or mechanical key switches.

It's the only way to have an external keyboard that can wake and unlock(touchid) a closed lid laptop setup.

I've been running final releases as well as upcoming betas of Mac OS and sadly the Touch ID on my Magic Keyboard has been broken for the last year with no permanent fix in sight.

I honestly don't know how people like this keyboard compared to something excellent like Logitech's MX range.

My Asus wireless keyboard wakes the MacBook with closed lid fine, but I do have to use the password, of course. I saved it as a macro to one of the keys, so it's one key press, but still takes a few moments longer.

I agree i have Macbook Pro M5, mac mini M4 , apple watch, iphone 16 pro max so i love apple products one would call me a fanboy but i also have a windows gaming computer too Smilie. Having said that their accessories are so disappointing. I would love to buy magic mouse and this keyboard but i just cant justify the price. I am using this wireless keyboard https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09TW35...tle_1&th=1 for $40 and $10 wireless mouse from same company it both work great.

You have your password saved as a macro that you can use before logging into the computer?

Doesn't seem secure.
