Magic Keyboard with Touchbar?

[Royksöpp]

I made this for fun in another thread, but what would you guys think of something like this? Could you adjust to a desktop Touch Bar? Would your workflow take full advantage of it?

Wouldn't interest me in the least. I'm sure it would be expensive, would need a large battery and it's also silver and doesn't have a numeric keypad. 😂

It looks cool. I might buy one to get the fingerprint sensor, which to my understanding would likely necessitate that the keyboard have its own coprocessor and even still probably would not be implemented in a wireless device. As for the touch bar itself, I would not buy it for the touch bar. I don't hate the touch bar. I don't love it. It just doesn't radically alter the way I work with the exception for when giving a presentation in Microsoft Power Point, which is when I love it.

The only thing I could think when I saw that picture would eat up batteries faster than you could and you would have to write a plug-in that would have to work over Bluetooth!

Pass. I hate the Touch Bar on my 2018 MBP. Definitely don't want or need it on my iMac keyboard.
