Magic Keyboard with Touch ID now available


Magic Keyboards with Touch ID and now available as an accessory from Apple. Touch ID keyboards are only compatible with Macs with Apple silicone CPUs running macOS 11.4 or later. This may be an attractive upgrade for the new Mac mini or an external keyboard option for laptops already equipped with Touch ID. Touch ID, like on mobile devices, allows for the unlocking of the computer and applications using a biometric finger sensor.

There are two Magic Keyboards available. The compact Magic Keyboard sells for $149 and the extended Magic Keyboard with number pad sells for $179.
