New M1 iMac Accessories Include Magic Keyboard With Touch ID and Colorful Magic Mouse/Magic Trackpad

[joecomo]

Would love to have that for my MacBookPro - but if it connects with the Secure Enclave on the M1 (like they said) - no chance

No number pad, no care.

Agreed. That model without the num pad squishes the keys closer together and I cannot type for #%#) on it.

 

[Sasparilla]

These look great, number pad version has my eye. If they are compatible with other Mac models, Apple won't be able to make them fast enough (which applies to just about everything they were rolling out today).

See, touch ID on a wireless keyboard is possible as I've said in the past.

Hope it is not paired with the Mac.

 

[telo123]

The TouchID on the keyboard will work on any M1 Mac right?

 

[lazyrighteye]

I would have loved space gray.

Agree. Too bad they dropped that option.

 

[Wando64]

Feel the dirt

People forget the chin is where they put the logic board and the 6 speakers. The display is just the display.

Yeah easy to see why it's there (housing the logic board and speakers), but personally I'd much rather have a thicker body with no chin. You see the front/chin 100% of the time when using the computer, the thickness almost never.

About time we see Touch ID. I hope the 2018 mini will support the new Touch ID keyboard.

 

[otternonsense]

The new keyboard looks sweet and I LOVE that it doesn't have the stupid touchbar <3

 

[grmatt]

Apple shouldn't be allowed to release any new mice without relocating the charging port. This crime against humanity mustn't be allowed to continue in any form... or color.

I would have loved space gray.

Maybe they are reserving that for an iMac Pro? 🤔

 

[bsbeamer]

Closest thing to getting TouchID on 2019 iMac 27" is wearing an Apple Watch. Really wish the numeric keyboard with Touch ID would be backwards compatible. Probably on this machine for another 4-5 years before revisiting the options.

 

[Lemon Olive]

Still no backlight!

Touch ID is a miserable experience on the MacBook anyway, I wouldn't be in any hurry to add it to the desktop.

Oh yeah... I guess that's why iPads have chins as well.

 

[infiniteentropy]

I remember when people were insistent this was impossible, because the T1 needed a physical connection for ??reasons??

 

[reyesmac]

I would have loved space gray.

You will need to pay $1,000 more for space gray. That color is now only reserved for apples highest paying customers. Why they can't add it considering you can get space gray on a macbook air, is beyond me other than it would outsell all the others when they get tired of the pastel colors.

The new keyboards are not sold separately, they can currently only be purchased with a new M1 iMac. So don’t hold your breath regarding its compatibility with any other devices.

 

[everlast3434]

Those are some fugly keyboards.

 

[ignatius345]

Oh god. They didn't fix the arrow keys. They put inverted-T arrows back on the MacBooks but didn't manage to do it here. Jesus.

 

[Idec50]

Why on earth did they go back to arrow keys with the larger left and right arrows? I’m using an old wired apple keyboard in order to match my 2020 MBP keyboard (after trying the 2017 MBP keyboard and being surprised later to learn how bad it is).

 

[mrples]

Not a fan of the rounded corner keys.

 

[A. Dumbledore]

No multi-channel bluetooth support though...

 

[pelowj]

Apple bluetooth mouse and keyboard just do not work with M1 Macs... so presumably they've managed to fix the Bluetooth issues finally???

 

[DeanL]

Better be USB-C...
