Apple Magic Keyboard with Touch ID /Numeric Keypad
This keyboard is flawless, sleek, and stays powered up with or without USB C to Lightning power connection. Key board keep long lasting charge. I would definitely recommend it. It works with my 2013 iMac and all new models, by adapting the lightning connector as needed. Bluetooth connectivity is awesome. It is the best in its class. Downside is that the keyboard isn’t backlit. Not cheap in price but very well built.

I hate Apple. . .But. . .
If you hate they keyboard you got with your iMac because it doesn't have a 10-key, this will fix that. The quality is typical Apple (terribly overpriced and impossible to repair on your own.). My gripe with Apple's design crew is that to get more battery life, they refuse to backlight their keyboards, so if you want to type in low light situations, forget about it and turn up the lights. This keyboard seems to focus a lot more on form than function. Sure, it looks great in a spartan office (like you see in all the print ads) but unless it is sitting firmly on a flat desktop typing can be like juggling peeled grapes with wet hands. Speaking of touch, I admit I'm an old school typist. Grew up on a Royal manual, then IBM Ball Selectric, then to IBM style computer keyboards. I am having a hard time typing accurately by touch with Apple's idea of what pressing a key should feel and sound like. I also hate typing on my phone. But I digress. Overall the build get's an A- (Solid chassis but no backlight, and I don't like the "feel" of the keys) The VALUE get's a D (If you knew what it actually costs Apple to build their products, you would find yourself in a moral dilemma. They are kind of the only show in town, just the way they built their tech empire.) No body reads these reviews, so if you made it this far I hope I entertained you. p/s: I stand by my review.

The best keyboard I’ve ever bought money wellspent
I personally love this keyboard is the best thing I have ever bought. Fingerprint scan works very well. It was kind of difficult to figure out, but I got it all. You really have to do is put your fingerprint in and then press the fingerprint button to lock your computer and then, you’ll be able to put your fingerprint again to scan it to unlock your computer. I love this Best thing I ever bought.

Premium Keyboard, but missing some "key" Features
Coming from a mechanical keyboard, it has been a been a bit of challenge, but this is a well built unit. It works flawlessly, easy to set up and is pretty much your only option if you have a new M1 Mac and want to use touch ID. That being said, would be nice if it was backlit, had some feet in the front to tilt the keyboard more, and was able to sync to more than one device like the logitech.

Almost Perfect: Major Flaw Included
In terms of Feel, it does take some getting use to because the keyboard lies nearly flat instead of having a more pronounced angle. After about a week, I was rolling. On certain surfaces, it will slide on the table while typing. I learned how to adjust my typing posture. No lazy hands or fingers allowed. I thought the Touch ID would be a game-changer with my Mac Mini. It's really not. I still have to type in my Password when booting up. And I can just as easily hit "Enter" to confirm my Passwords instead of using my fingerprint. The major Con to this keyboard is the absence of backlit keys. I don't know how a $200 keyboard wouldn't come standard with backlit keys, but this one doesn't have them. A huge disappointment because keyboards nearly half the price come with backlit keys. What saves this keyboard is the Design and Feel of typing. I haven't found a great comparable Brand to this one including options from Logitech. Close, but not enough. And yes, keep your Lightning Cable because you'll need it to Charge this keyboard. Would I recommend this keyboard? Even with the best typing experience I've ever had, I cannot. At this price point with no backlit keys is a deal breaker. A mistake that a Brand like Apple should not make.
