Our take

Verdict: A clean, comfortable desktop keyboard for Macs — the Touch ID and number pad make it the one to get.

The problem. You want a tidy, reliable wireless keyboard that fingerprint-unlocks your Mac. Why it matters. Touch ID on the keyboard removes a daily friction that’s easy to underrate. What it is. Apple’s full-size Magic Keyboard with Touch ID and a numeric keypad: low-profile scissor keys, rechargeable battery and seamless Mac pairing.

Pros

  • Touch ID is genuinely convenient for unlock and payments
  • Comfortable, quiet low-profile typing
  • Numeric keypad and long battery life

Cons

  • Touch ID works only on Apple-silicon Macs
  • Low-travel keys won’t satisfy mechanical-keyboard fans
  • Expensive for a membrane-style board

Who should buy it

  • Apple-silicon Mac users who want Touch ID and a number pad

Who should skip it

  • Intel-Mac owners (no Touch ID) and tactile-keyboard enthusiasts

Bottom line. The best stock keyboard for a modern Mac — buy it if you have Apple silicon and value Touch ID.
