Apple Magic Keyboard with Touch ID (QWERTY English) - Silver

Overview

Bring the speed and security of Touch ID directly to your desktop with the Apple Magic Keyboard with Touch ID. Designed specifically for Mac models with Apple silicon, it combines Apple's precise, low-profile typing experience with fingerprint authentication, wireless Bluetooth connectivity and a rechargeable battery in an exceptionally slim aluminium design.

Instead of repeatedly entering passwords, Touch ID lets you unlock your compatible Mac and authenticate supported actions with your fingerprint, helping everyday work feel faster and more seamless. The compact layout also gives you a full typing experience without taking up the desk space of a keyboard with a separate numeric keypad.

This latest USB-C version, introduced in 2024, replaces the older Lightning charging connection with USB-C and includes a woven USB-C charging cable. The British English QWERTY model is MXCK3B/A, EAN 0195949633447.

Key Features & Benefits

• Unlock Your Mac with Your Fingerprint – Integrated Touch ID provides fast and secure authentication on compatible Apple silicon Macs, reducing the need to type your login password every time you return to your computer.
• Make Everyday Authentication Faster – Touch ID can be used for supported authentication tasks on your Mac, putting secure biometric verification directly on the keyboard instead of forcing you to reach for another device.
• Type Comfortably for Longer – Apple's low-profile key mechanism provides a precise and responsive typing experience, making the Magic Keyboard particularly well suited to emails, documents, coding, research and everyday office work.
• Keep Your Desk Clean and Cable-Free – Built-in Bluetooth wireless connectivity lets you type without keeping a permanent cable running across your workspace.
• Go Weeks Between Charges – Apple's rechargeable internal battery is designed to power the keyboard for around a month or more between charges, depending on usage.
• Charge with the Same Modern Connection as Your Mac – The current model uses USB-C, simplifying charging if your workspace already uses USB-C cables for a MacBook, iPad or other modern accessories.
• Start Working with Minimal Setup – Magic Keyboard automatically pairs with a compatible Mac, helping you move from unboxing to typing with very little configuration.
• Charge and Pair Through One Cable – The included woven USB-C charging cable can connect directly to a USB-C port on your Mac for charging and pairing.
• Free Up More Desk Space – At only 27.89cm wide, the compact design removes the separate numeric keypad found on larger keyboards, leaving more room for your mouse or trackpad and creating a cleaner workstation.
• Carry It Easily Between Workspaces – Weighing approximately 243g, the Magic Keyboard is light enough to move between an office, home-working setup or meeting space without carrying a bulky desktop keyboard.
• Control Everyday Mac Functions from the Keyboard – Integrated multimedia and function keys put commonly used controls within easy reach, reducing reliance on menus for routine adjustments.
• Create a More Cohesive Apple Workspace – The Silver aluminium structure and white keys complement devices such as Mac mini, Mac Studio, iMac, MacBook Air and MacBook Pro for a clean, consistent desktop setup.
• Designed Specifically for Apple Silicon Macs – For full Touch ID functionality, Apple specifies a Mac with Apple silicon running macOS 15.1 or later, ensuring biometric authentication is securely integrated with supported Mac hardware.

Why Choose This Product

The Apple Magic Keyboard with Touch ID is not simply a wireless keyboard with an Apple logo. Its biggest practical advantage is how naturally it integrates authentication into everyday Mac use.

When working at a desk with a Mac mini, Mac Studio, iMac or docked MacBook, Touch ID means you can authenticate directly from the keyboard without interrupting your workflow. That small convenience becomes increasingly valuable when repeated throughout a working day.

The compact design also makes excellent use of desk space. You still get a complete QWERTY typing layout and dedicated function controls, but without the additional width of a numeric keypad. At just 243g and under 28cm wide, it is equally at home in a minimalist workstation or a flexible hybrid-working setup.

With USB-C charging, Bluetooth connectivity, around a month or more of battery life and seamless Apple silicon integration, this is an excellent keyboard for users who value a refined desktop, dependable everyday typing and convenient biometric security.
