APPLE X (TheRightit)


Magic Keyboard with Touch ID for Mac models with Apple silicon (USB–C).

  • If you head over to the official Apple Store right now, you’ll notice the "New" label on this product.
  • It’s the latest model of the Magic Keyboard, unveiled during Apple’s September 10, 2024 event, where the new Mac lineup and the Apple Watch Ultra 2 Black Edition were also introduced.
  • This keyboard officially hit stores in November 2024, and it’s priced at $149.00 (₩199,000).

 

 


What Makes It Stand Out?

  • The biggest game-changer here is the Touch ID feature, powered by the same silicon chip used in Macs.
  • Sure, there are plenty of wireless keyboards out there with sleek designs and satisfying key sounds, but nothing beats the sheer convenience of Touch ID. It’s a total game-changer that brings seamless security to your fingertips.
  • On top of that, it now features a USB-C port and comes with a USB-C charging cable, making it more compatible with the rest of your Apple ecosystem.
  • The previous generation had a notable drawback: a USB-C to Lightning connection. This latest version addresses that by swapping in the USB-C charging cable, making it feel like a proper refresh. 
  • With its modern design, seamless integration with Apple products, and the pure convenience of Touch ID, this Magic Keyboard is a must-have for anyone looking to level up their setup.

 

 


A Surprising Feel in Actual Use

  • One thing that gave me pause before purchasing the Magic Keyboard was reading reviews about its low profile possibly causing wrist strain or discomfort during extended typing sessions. Naturally, I was a bit hesitant.
  • But after using it for hours on end, I can confidently say that wasn’t the case at all.
  • Maybe it’s because I’m already used to typing on a MacBook, but the experience felt completely natural and comfortable.

 

  • Interestingly, the size of this Magic Keyboard is almost identical to the built-in keyboard of the 13-inch MacBook with the M2 chip. It’s practically like typing on the MacBook you already love—just without the screen attached.

The only downside is the lack of a backlight.

  • While it’s rarely an issue in daily use, there are those rare moments when I’m working in a dark environment, and I can’t help but feel a little disappointed.

A Magic Keyboard without a backlight—it’s just a small thing, but it’s missed every now and then.

 


Final Verdict: Magic Keyboard with Touch ID for Mac Models with Apple Silicon (USB–C) – $149.00 (₩199,000)

  • I bought this keyboard to help maintain proper posture and improve my neck alignment (goodbye, tech neck!), and honestly, it’s been a fantastic purchase. Totally satisfied!
  • The convenience of Touch ID is another highlight—it’s such a relief to skip typing passwords on every webpage. Absolutely loving it!
