The Magic Keyboard with Touch ID allows users to sign in and confirm purchases with fingerprint recognition. A version with a numeric keypad is also available, offering an extended layout that includes navigation controls for faster scrolling, full-size arrow keys suited for gaming, and a number pad useful for working with spreadsheets or financial data.

The keyboard connects wirelessly and has a rechargeable battery that can last about a month or more on a single charge. It pairs automatically with a Mac and can be charged or connected through its USB-C port. A woven USB-C to USB-C cable is included, which can also be used with other compatible devices.
