One details pops up: the space between the keys is not dark as it is on the MacBook Pros 16 et 14. I've been using a MB Pro 16 M1 for 2 months now, and an all-black keyboard is quite disturbing for me. If only they could come back to a more Black/Silver design on future Macs, I would be happy.
Got a tip for us?

Apple Releases Black and Silver Magic Keyboard With Touch ID, Magic Trackpad, and Magic Mouse

So they make you buy white/silver (by withholding the black), then they release black (after intentional deprivation- they know from feedback and data a lot of folks want that), and since a lot of folks want the black they rush to buy them - making consumers buy the same stuff twice!
I just wish the aluminum was darker like the keyboard that came with the iMac Pro. I have that keyboard now, which I like, but I'd appreciate the updated keys, and TouchID.
Why are people surprised. Apple is about the $. They are a business to make money...they KNOW how to make money and get people to buy. They know their customer mental drives and use it to the max. Bravo Apple.
Are there other opinions about new MK? I’m on the market to switch from MK with numeric to the smaller* one but I found these disturbing opinions that the new one is in lower quality?
* also I am surprised that there are no comments that numeric keyboard is unusable for daily usage because you need to push your mouse too far to right and shoulder start hurting very quickly.
They only offer the silver/white option for the small keyboard. They have the normal one for $99 or the Touch ID version for $149.
I never have an issue with my numeric space gray version and my trackpad next to it. But I don't use a mouse. I like the numeric because the numbers I feel are quicker to use.
It’s a shame that Apple still has not realized that the Magic Mouse is really bad in terms of ergonomics.
I am really thinking about getting this accessory from Kickstarter if it makes it to production.

You can get a $10 Logitech mouse so much more comfortable than the Magic Mouse. Apple has their head in the sand with these.
While I like the idea...this makes the total cost over $130...for a mouse (for the new black one). I guess if you've already purchased the Magic Mouse and can't return it this could work.It’s a shame that Apple still has not realized that the Magic Mouse is really bad in terms of ergonomics.

I already have a few mouse pads with raised wrist supports. Think I'll try those when I buy my new Magic Mouse. If that doesn't help...I'm sending it back!
Sill annoyed that the colorful keyboards and trackpads are only exclusive to the 24" imac, i wish apple would release those already.
Magic Mouse is really great in terms of ergonomics.
It just depends on the person.
The ergos are perfect for my hand.

Is it a Raiders thing or something? The black keys matches with nothing on the 24 iMac/mini
iMac Pro's accessories were Space Gray to match the Space Gray body. The Black/Silver motif was exclusive to the Mac Pro until now.
I'm not sure what you're talking about. I upgraded from the Space Gray Magic Keyboard with Num Pad to the new Silver/Black Magic Keyboard with Num Pad & Touch ID. Build quality is exactly the same and the keys even feel the same.
