New Apple Magic Keyboards with Touch ID Review

Wish these were light up keyboards

Will the keyboard work with an iPad Air m1?

Miles, you did a great presentation! Thank you.

So Apple are now charging high end mechanical keyboard prices for what is essentially a crappy laptop keyboard in desktop keyboard form. Anyone dropping that kind of money on a poor quality keyboard like this is being scammed big time.

Not mentioned, buy quite essential: it is super FLIMSY. It is vaporware. It feels like you bought popcorn, baked air. The port is wrong (lightning), cable too short (not everyone wants to showcase the computer on the desk), but worst of all, it DOES NOT COMPLY to standards. Open Emu gaming: forget it, this is NOT a generic compatible USB/BT-HID device, but some weird Apple specialty device only recognised by OSX.

What is the multi button which surrounds the touch sensor ID button? I just bought one of these keyboards with my new Mac Mini 2023, but it just logs me out if I press anywhere on that surrounding square multi button, so it doesn't appear to have any functionality... other than the above logging me out, unless I'm missing something there?

you look cute 😍☺

New Apple company Mission Statement "Not a lot has changed from previous gens, but you will still buy it" :)

are they supposed to be used wirelessly ? or we use cable in the box?

Go back to school and learn how to speak English

damn, just got blinded by the hdr version of the video hahaha

why not space gray small ?

does the version with touch id without number pad work with mac mini m2 versions?

takes too long

Brilliant review ❤

So they won’t work with a M1 iPad?

Would this work on this Mac mini m2?

how they be typin?

Is this keyboard works when plugged in? can't find the answer anywhere...

Too expensive.

Nice video! Thanks for the content! You haven't mentioned anything about the backlight though...Is there any light or you will not be able to work in the dark? 😉

Miles, does your Venom bioelectricity help with charging the keyboard?

What a waste of money $199 for a membrane keyboard is crazy it’s not even a dome with slider, it’s not even an electro capacitive switches, let alone it’s not Mechanical switches I spent better money on a custom mechanical keyboard with thick Mac layout keycap

i cant higher the volume or lower it i cant even use the pause/play keys

will these work wireless to windows computers

hi! waht you prefer, 2gen or 3gen keyboard?

does the new keyboard give the ability to go into MBAir sleep mode when working with an external monitor? (just like regular closing MacAIR?)

So your telling me that Touch ID isn’t going to work on my MacBook Pro?😢

is it so cheap because it doesnt have the backlit keys?

This is nice but I need a back-lit keyboard. Going with a Logitech in the meantime.

Im waiting until the keyboards get usb c next year before I buy it

One without touch ID works on iPad Pro

I really want the MX Keys for my 24” imac. But no Touch ID button

why didn't you mention anything about how it feels to use?

Not backlit!?!!!!

Wait, touch ID won't work with my new Mac Studio?

Awesome review man! Thanks

I do also like that it’s essentially wired and wireless.

Separate button for THE EMOJI MENU? Dafuq this wotld is going to the bin. Idiocracy is still on path.

Is TouchID now compatible with the 2019 MBA?

Just fyi to people I have the Touch ID one and an Intel Mac and the keyboard itself does have full functionality just not the Touch ID. I didn't get it new, I got it for a great deal that's why I have it and not the non-Touch ID version.

does the bluetooth funcionality get disabled when plugged in, im looking for a wired keyboard

why the hell is this not backlit Jesus man

It is really crazy that hey aren't backlit. C'mon APPLE. Other manufacturers have used it for a looong time. So what if the design is 3 mm larger and wider for a bit bigger battery. The defecit of not having backlit when it's dark is huge. It should be a standar feature. Using the MX keayboard and it has it. However I prefer the Apple keys board to write on...

Can I pair this with Macbook air 2018-2019? 🤔

Does anyone know if the Touch ID button is FIRM like it is on that MacBooks?

This video just saved me money! thanks! No M1 for me and almost bought it.

If you read this, I'm gonna save you money and time. DO NOT buy cheap Magic Keyboard lookalikes.
I tried like 3 different types, and with each one there was always SOMETHING. And it's usually the "little" things that become really annoying.
Like the stiffness of the click, or the shape of the buttons... where it seems okay at first, but the more you use it's like I HATE THIS.
If you'e an Apple user, stick to Apple. They know what they're doing.
