I really did hesitate a long time due to the high price for that Apple Keyboard with fingerprint sensor, a.k.a. Touch ID.

The Apple Magic Keyboard with Fingerprint Sensor has become indispensable for me, thanks to its seamless blend of security, convenience, and elegance. The fingerprint sensor—integrated into the Touch ID/power button—is a game-changer for authentication. Gone are the days of typing passwords across countless apps and websites; now, a simple touch logs me in instantly. This is especially transformative with Passkeys, Apple’s passwordless login system. My fingerprint replaces clunky passwords for iCloud, Safari accounts (like Google or Microsoft), and third-party services, making security feel effortless. No more memorizing complex strings or fumbling with two-factor codes—just a tap to unlock my digital life.

The sensor’s placement is perfect, nestled into the right-side function keys, so it feels natural while typing. Even in low light, I never miss it. Beyond convenience, Touch ID ensures biometric data stays encrypted on-device (via Secure Enclave), giving me peace of mind that sensitive info isn’t stored online or shared with apps.

The keyboard itself is a joy to use: crisp key travel, whisper-quiet mechanics, and the sleek aluminum build typical of Apple peripherals. Whether coding, writing, or browsing, the tactile feedback keeps me productive for hours without fatigue. Pairing it with my Mac is instant via Bluetooth, and the battery lasts weeks on a single charge.

For anyone juggling passwords daily—or embracing Passkeys—the Magic Keyboard’s fingerprint sensor isn’t just a luxury; it’s a productivity upgrade that redefines how we interact with our devices securely. I’ll never go back to traditional keyboards.
