Apple Magic Keyboard with Touch ID and Numeric Keypad: Bluetooth, rechargeable. Works with Mac computers with Apple silicon; British English, Black keys

Fits with the sleek Apple look, the biggest benefit that puts it above other keyboards is that it has a fingerprint sensor and is a great addition to the Mac desktop setup. The number pad is also useful if you use excel a lot/ need to enter a lot of numbers.The typing experience is the same as the other apple keyboards with low travel distance and the keyboard itself is pretty flat.The aluminium frame is perhaps a bit on the sharp side (but not enough to actually be a problem/ cut yourself).It charges with the lightning cable.No backlight which is disappointing for the price.Verdict: If you want the fingerprint sensor to login and a premium looking design that fits in with the Apple aesthetic, then it's worth the Apple tax. But if you're just looking for a functional or backlit keyboard, there's more affordable options elsewhere.

I've always used the wired mac external keyboards in the past, but since they stopped making them I've struggled to find a good replacement. This one with bluetooth and the touch ID button make this a great keyboard. No more wires, so its more flexible and the battery seems to last quite a long time. It comes with a USB-C charging cable, which you also use to connect to your Mac, just plug it in, accept a few popups and its connected.Only thing I think it could do with is to be a little higher, the original wired Mac keyboard was a little higher.

Somehow, the black version was cheaper on Amazon than directly from Apple, so I'm not complaining. I have been using a mechanical keyboard for about a year now, and my hands have started to hurt as I do a lot of typing. I like the Apple keyboards on my laptop as they are light; this one is even lighter, and with the touch ID, it makes everything so much easier. The only downside is the lack of backlight, which is shocking for the price. The build quality is, as you would expect from Apple, amazing, and the experience from unboxing to using is second to none.

As an Apple enthusiast, I've been eagerly waiting for an update to the Magic Keyboard, and while the USB-C transition is welcome, this feels more like a minor refresh than a groundbreaking redesign.Pros:Ultra-lightweight (just 0.8 pounds)Quiet scissor-switch keysConvenient Touch ID sensorClean, minimalist designUSB-C charging with long battery life (up to a month)Cons:Expensive (white is cheaper than black)No backlightingLimited ergonomic featuresRequires latest macOS for full functionalityKey Highlights: The keyboard maintains Apple's signature slim profile and is incredibly lightweight. The Touch ID sensor works seamlessly, allowing quick device unlocking and secure transactions. However, the design hasn't significantly changed in years, which might disappoint users hoping for more innovation.Best For:Mac users with Apple Silicon devicesThose who prefer a minimal, quiet typing experienceProfessionals wanting integrated Touch IDRecommendation: A solid keyboard for Apple loyalists, but consider alternatives if you're looking for more features at a lower price point.

Just a great design keyboard. Light and easy to carry along. Slim design makes it great to type with and it is of course silent. I can’t even make it sound loud with agressive typing. Battery life is also brilliant. I maybe charge it every few months and it is in use 4 days a week, 10 hours at a time.

Having mostly been a Mac user for 5 years and having wireless fine Mac keyboard, a change to wired mechanical is massive but if you know how to type you good :DThe quality of build is excellent, the feel is great, and the weight feels you can trust this will last.Also the key feel alone is beautiful, not sure what made of, but they very nice.Colour options are bit hard get your head around to do custom ones but the preset worked great for me, i turned off the side light strip and left keys on blue pushing, looks very clean.Granted its a loud keyboard on key stroke, but what you expect

Compact, lays flat and is great to use

This is obviously an expensive keyboard but it works well and you don’t have any options if you need the fingerprint scanner.I use a MacBook Pro in clamshell mode connected to a monitor. My MacBook is under my table out of the way, connected to a Thunderbolt dock and the dock connects to my monitor and storage drives. I’m basically using my MacBook as a desktop computer.To fully utilise the security functions of my MacBook I have to use its fingerprint scanner, which I don’t get access to in my setup. This is why I use this keyboard, as it has the fingerprint scanner.Like I said, it’s expensive. However, it does work perfectly for my setup for fingerprint verification.
