Apple Magic Keyboard with Touch ID - Unboxing and Everything You Wanted To Know

Apple’s Magic Keyboard with Touch ID is here. The Magic Keyboard with Touch ID is available with or without a Numeric Keypad and can now be purchased separately from brand new M1 iMac. In this video I unbox the Magic Keyboard with Touch ID and Numeric Keypad, set it up, add a fingerprint, listen to typing, go over supported devices and Macs and try it with Mac Pro which is not supported and iPad Air or iPad Pro as well. Magic Keyboard with Touch ID is compatible with Apple Silicon and all M1 Macs including 2021 iMac, M1 Mac mini, M1 MacBook Air and M1 MacBook Pro. #magickeyboard #Mac #Apple #touchID

The new Magic Keyboard with Touch ID can finally be purchased without buying an iMac. Do you plan on getting one or what keyboard do you use? Thanks for watching as it is always appreciated.

[@tmtmoormr]

I use the magic keyboard for my iPad Pro

[@ultimategamer4969]

Was debating wether or not to get one for my MacBook (16 inch) since I frequently use it on my TV through HDMI, I don’t always have my Apple Watch on my wrist or sometimes it fails to unlock so I thought this would be great for my specific use case, thought it’d be a great upgrade once they release a space grey/black version and give my old Magic Keyboard to my dad or something, guess that won’t be happening anytime soon. Thanks for the great, comprehensive video!

[@aivarb]

Beware, the Touch id function does not work with Intel macs

[@armen7932]

Nah. I use the Logitech Keys for Mac on my Mac mini. Maybe if they do space grey later.

[@HarrisonGray]

The iMac Magic Keyboards have always been so good to use. I love the feel of them and really miss it on my old iMac, but I have gotten used to the butterfly keyboard over time too

[@paulbenish8982]

Damn. I had no idea it was already out. I’m not planning on getting one, but I’m going to watch cause there’s not one zollotech video I don’t enjoy. This is the first review I am seeing on the new Magic keyboard

[@billiamnotbob]

I ordered one yesterday and it arrives tomorrow. Looking forward to it! I'll miss my space gray though.

[@rick18972]

Amazing video Aaron keep up the greatest Tech videos

[@jeffhale1189]

Thanks for the video. Blessings on your day.

[@AfterDarkGrafX-1]

Glad they brought a stand alone touch I.d keyboard just hope in time we get the colour options.

[@thevacdude]

Thanks for the video, Aaron.

[@kaylevy1329]

Love it! Thanks for that thorough review. (And subscribed- You have amazing content)

[@vasiovasio]

Useful video! Thank you!

[@guest9580]

Thank you. Was struggling to setup Touch ID. 4:24 revealed that it isn't compatible with my current device (2021, Intel MacBook Pro). Lesson learned, need to check compatibility before purchasing. Could've saved myself $50. Not the first time I made this error; once bought a Satechi USB-C hub for a Windows laptop without realising it was made for Mac only.

[@DaveCondie]

I love that subtle curve on the buttons at the corners. Cute.

[@WorldvsTruth]

As much as I like the design, for Apple's retail price it ought to have backlighting.

[@xxcloudxx6606]

Just ordered mine in black. Can’t wait

[@ada_m2000]

Love the videos man! Keep up the great work!

[@GG-zv9ku]

finally I've been waiting for this to buy individually

[@marlon_guan]

thank you so much, this is quite useful to know it Does support intel Mac

[@talala.aaleidan6387]

Going to pick one up for my Mac mini M1 cool

[@tobiasdamaris]

nice, I will be getting one of these in December

[@MichaelNNguyen]

The new Magic Keyboard w/TouchID is nice but the new rounded edge design does look as nice as the previous version.

[@richardsantillanes2570]

Great stuff thanks

[@MattHalpain]

Fun, informative video. I have a 2019 4K Intel iMac. :)

[@moudireifan63]

Seems very functional !

[@vewilli]

Would like it, but I haven’t got am M1-Mac. But very nice review! 👍🏻👏🏻

[@bullybulldozer83]

Just ordered MBAmidnight m2 base model with this keyboard in space gray with a black magic mouse, im so happy ! Had to save up for a looooooong time !

[@SpaceWithSam]

Outstanding video!👍😊

[@zollotech]

Thank you

[@pratgreninja]

It is awesome but it is expensive and thanks for the video hoping to see iOS 15 beta 5 release soon

[@cybernanovt]

although I would have loved to have gotten a backlight with this keyboard, I do find it as a good option and personally one of my favorite keyboards to use on my mac mini. maybe next time we will get the option

[@AdApT3Rx]

Great video

[@michael.knight]

How does it compare to the new keyboard on the MPB 14 and 16? I'm quite enjoying that one.

[@josehoward]

Nice review. What is the Model number for the Keyboard with the numeric pad with Touch ID?

[@Braden12]

Was expecting this video. Glad to see it lol

[@zollotech]

Thanks for watching!

[@ckaraca]

Tnx dude

[@larryb6759]

Is it bluetooth connected or required to use the cable all times....I think you just answered my question at 9:31. Thanks

[@kamertonaudiophileplayer847]

The touch id button seems takes the place of eject. I have M1 Mac mini and I guess it will work with it perfectly including touch id.

[@elgs1980]

Does a single charge last only a few weeks for the new one? I have the old full sized magic keyboard and I charge it once every 3 months, and I use it daily. This is a big deal. Charging interval from several months to several weeks seems to be a big regression.

[@kerk09b]

I am curious whether the keyboard works well with Windows or not? Also the Touch ID with Windows Hello feature (in Parallels)?

[@sean.sullivan]

Curious about whether the Touch ID works when not connected to a computer? Saw some reviews where they said it had to be connected? that would be a bummer if so.

[@butch8849]

Hopefully they sell the braided cable by itself as well.

[@NomusaMagical]

Is charging cord that comes with separately-sold keyboard thinner AND shorter than cord packaged with iMac purchase? Looks like it.

[@JCourts2k23]

I just bought the black version for my new Mac mini

[@Techranium]

Try Connecting it to M1 iPad Pro.. I want to see if it works. Thanks for the Video :)

[@Luversbadluck]

Hi. Does it work with iPad when used with Bluetooth? I have an iPad 9th gen with lightning port and I'm wondering if the one without the numeric keyboard will work.

[@hdmovies_hub850]

Waiting for your 1M Aron…😇

[@mactri95]

So the lightning cable only charges the keyboard? There is no data that goes through the cable? That is it only connects wirelessly?

[@melmixpita543]

Are you able to turn on your Mac with the Touch ID button? I'm using my Macbook mostly docked and find it cumbersome to have to open the Mac to start it.

[@zk4au]

I am wanting to know this also.. can you turn on the mac with this keyboard touch id button? same button on the new macbook turns the mac on.

[@ienglishschool1575]

In my opinion, Apple should place the separated trackpad in the keyboard on the area of numbers which is in the right on the keyboard. In a laptop, keyboard and trackpad stand together. What do you think Aron? BTW, love your review.

[@abeimnida]

Can i use this keyboard without a cable on my Macbook Pro 2021? Like through bluetooth

[@Mindartcreativity]

Thanks for this video! I didn't even know that Apple released this but I've wished for a TouchID Magic Keyboard ever since I got my MacBook Pro+Touch ID.

[@chasfischer2844]

I'm assuming this new magic keyboard will work wirelessly with the M1 Macbook Air touchID?

[@Kevin6t8]

I was hoping to see if touch ID would work on an M1 iPad Pro. It may seem a bit counter intuitive, but depending on the angle of the iPad when placed in a stand, touch ID might come in handy. (no pun intended)

[@yu-huailin7076]

In the video you connect the keyboard with a non-M1 macbook pro with the cable or via bluetooth? Looks like it's through a cable from the video. My concern is that my macbook air (intel chips) doesn't have a usb-C port and was wondering if it can be paired with the Touch ID keyboard through bluetooth.

[@DavidBajayo]

I still use my keyboard with numeric pad that came with my Macpro aluminum . Is about 10 years old and is perfect . Is USB A . No problems . Plugged into my hub to the Mac mini M1.

[@123andresgc]

So apart from the Touch ID. There aren’t any other features or differences from the previous generation Magic Keyboard? What about the Bluetooth connection. Is it 5.0?

[@Barcodeali]

how do you use it on a m1 mac mini with no touch id set up in sys pref?

[@albertlamberte6521]

I'm a bit sad that this won't work with any of the intel macs (I have the MBP 2020 intel). I have the intel version due to software compatibility issues with some of the statistical and coding software I use for my classes and work.

[@auhperng]

Does it work with the Touch ID on the intel MacBook Pro or air laptop?

[@zachg3069]

It’d be nice if I could use this with iPad Pro 2021

[@mikldude9376]

Good unboxing mate ! A nice keyboard , but as an old Geezer with so so eyes , i would prefer the old one with black keys with white writing on the keys , and while having touch ID is very nice indeed , is it true there is no back lighting ? How can this be so on a " Magic Keyboard " ?

[@quintessences]

Could apple update the keyboard to also work with the m1 iPads?

[@Pigeion]

I really wanna upgrade, my magic keyboard 2 will sometimes not connect at all, it is very scratched up, and its bent in the middle

[@GinoFoto]

Typing experience on this keyboard is closer to what you feel on flat screen, than on real keyboard, however touch ID is great great addition, fingerprint scanner should be already on the MX Mechanical from Logitech.

[@icarohammer]

Does anybody knows if the magic keyboard has the same size as the macbook's keyboard? I'm going to buy a M1 13" macbook, but I have to use windows for work (using a Dell laptop). I would like to keep the same size. If magic keyboard is the same, I could use it for work and then simply going to the macbooks keyboard.

[@macdaddy9344]

Hoping it’s just an iPad OS software update to get fingerprint identification to work with the M1 iPads Pro

[@Pitsy]

Can it connect to more than 1 devices and just swap without the cable????

[@teddybruner9468]

Is the frame aluminum? I got one today and it feels like painted plastic as opposed to the old magic keyboards which was solid aluminum

[@GearReviewDepot]

Wanted one but I'm not doing white. I'll wait till they come out with the black and/or gray version.

[@AteGurl332]

The imac m1 comes with color braided lightning cable

[@krisertmer4519]

IT NEEDS A BUILT-IN PRINTER SANDWICHED BETWEEN IT'S COMPONENTS. PAPER CAN BE LOADED INTO IT FROM THE TOP WHEN READY TO PRINT. IT NEEDS CAMERAS AND SENSORS AND A 360° LASER-KEYBOARD/TRACKPAD/DISPLAY EMITTER SO THE USER HAS A DISPLAY WHEN 1 IS NEEDED AND YOU ARE ALLOWED MULTIPLE KEYBOARD TYPES AVAILABLE FOR THE USER TO USE BY USING THE LASER-KEYBOARD. THE 360° LASER-KEYBOARD/TRACKPAD/DISPLAY EMITTER SYSTEM COULD ALSO PROVIDE A LASER-DISPLAY STRIP AS WELL IF PREFERRED.

[@Underratedtoxique]

Would it work on a windows laptop like I have a Mac and a PC and I hate the keyboard on my windows computer

[@nichstas]

can I use it for my 2019 air & iPad 5th gen please someone reply ;:)

[@johnmknox]

A couple of weeks doesn't seem like a long time for the battery to last for a wireless keyboard. My Logitech with two AAA rechargeable batteries lasts for several months minimum often more than a year.

[@TheLegendryZelda]

Would have liked to see you locking the iMac with the button then unlocking it

[@taesang5664]

damn and here i was already planning to buy it. no backlight seems lime a deal breaker for me

[@beinjar5634]

Best

[@susanpearson-creativefibro]

I am really trying to justifying saving up for one of these to use with my M1 Mac Mini. I currently have a non-Mac Bluetooth keyboard with a numeric keypad that cost about £25 which works well and is very similar to look at. When I think that I would be paying £180 to get a Touch ID key it feels a bit hard to justify spending over half a months worth of my income on it. It is very tempting though…

[@hornwijaya5033]

But there's no TOUCH ID on System Preference. Very frustrating, spent so much money, upgraded MacOS, can't see the icon. Any advice, Sir?

[@sabinodelar3387]

Has anyone already tested the operation of this keyboard with or without the numbers on an iPad Pro? What can you say about it? Thanks.

[@RyderCragie]

The "Home", "End", "Page Up" and "Page Down" keys are arrow symbols on mine, not the words. Did they change it?

Does the fingerprint work on the login screen without a cable?

I believe you can select a keyboard with numeric keypad and Touch ID when you order a Mac, and it should come in colour.
