Our review
The Magic Keyboard with Touch ID mostly sells its built-in fingerprint sensor, which saves typing a password every time the machine wakes up. At 169 EUR it offers neither backlighting nor adjustable tilt, and its warranty stops at one year where Logitech gives two on cheaper keyboards. The 4.6/5 over 8,200 reviews shows it stays appreciated, provided you accept the Apple entry ticket.
