Apple Magic Keyboard with Touch ID for Mac Models with Apple Silicon (QWERTY English) Silver (Renewed)

Looks like new! I had no issues connecting with my Mac with the included cord (keyboard was dead so I had to plug it in to pair it). Works perfectly and I love the fingerprint (my old keyboard didn’t have this feature!) 10/10 and arrived a day earlier than original delivery date.

This is an authentic Apple Refurbished keyboard. The Amazon listings should be mindful of the lightning vs. USB C distinction however. This keyboard I received was definitely a lightning keyboard. The functionality is what I expect from Apple keyboard and the feel is right. When compared with other authentic Apple peripherals, the color matches them and the Apple iMac lineup exactly. Going the refurbished route is a good way to get a good value (less expensive) for the peripherals of various colors that Apple holds back as exclusive only if you purchase an iMac of the corresponding color. I own as many as 12 of these keyboards and the charging is relatively fast and they hold a charge for a long time in hibernation. This is a quality product and for this listing you should not fear the refurbished product. The keyboard I received arrived with a quality control sticker indicating inspection in an unmarked box and a generic (non color braided) lightning to USB C charging cable (like comes with an iMac purchase) - so buyers should be cognizant of that trade off. The Touch ID (compatible only with Apple silicon Macs) functions as intended and is a very nice feature.

Amazing quality , Came with original Apple Charger , Barely visible scratches on the bottom , Pretty blue color , it’s a good size , love the Touch ID capability, and it feels amazing and functions like new

********Second Edit: the authorized repair people had to order a whole new keyboard bc the secondhand one was broken up from a set. Cost me 93 bucks on top of the 76 I payed for the original. I should have just returned the keyboard before taking it in - lesson learned. At least my repair shop has great people and gave me a discount for my troubles. ********EDIT: battery is shot and only works when plugged in. Went to my local apple authorized repair place to get a new battery for it. Beyond pissed off, did anyone check this before it was sent off? This is the exact reason why I have trust issues buying second hand. Shame on Woot. I was really nervous to get this second hand, but I am glad I took the risk. I have only had it a couple hours, but I will update my review if anything changes. It immediately recognized the keyboard when I plugged it in to my Mac. It appears all keys work and Touch ID works too. Touch ID was the main reason I wanted this so I can keep my Mac in clamshell mode. It is almost brand new, it has one small nick on the edge - that was not a deal breaker and its nearly noticeable. It is the lightning model of this keyboard which was fine with me as I still have a few devices that use it. The cord was a legit apple cord as well and had the original apple packaging on the cord. I am really happy with this so far and would consider more second products in the future from this company (Woot I believe?).

This keyboard works as advertised. I only wish Apple would have an option with mechanical keys and a separate fingerprint reader. I much prefer the Logi mechanical keyboards, but they lack the fingerprint scanner. The keyboard was easy to connect. It looks good and matches the Apple aesthetic of the M4 Mini and Mac Studio. The soft keys are quiet and feel responsive. Overall it is a good keyboard that would get five stars if it came with an option for mechanical keys.

perfect for any apple product, easy to pair and use.

This refurbished actual Apple OEM keyboard works perfectly, just as advertised. However, I was surprised to find out that the "Touch ID" function -- which is the whole reason I bought this -- is really quite limited by Apple. At least on the newer operating systems, you cannot use touch ID to log in from a cold reboot, for example. You still have to manually type in your password and there is no getting around it. In fact there are a lot of situations where you'd think you should be able to use touch ID, and where it would be extremely handy and much easier than having to repeatedly manually type in your password repeatedly, where it's simply not enabled -- intentionally, by design. There were a few, and I mean a VERY few, situations where it did give me the option of using touch ID, when repeatedly asking for permissions to allow certain programs and plugins to install, which, admittedly, would have been a nightmare without that function, but far too many times, you still have to manually type in your password, and sometimes even have to reboot to enable a program to run. That type of clumsy implementation may marginally enhance security, but it makes the Touch ID feature next to worthless in my opinion. Again, not the fault of this keyboard. It works great! Just another example of terrible usability by Apple which has been coasting on its early reputation of 'usability" for about 20 years now without actually having a well-organized, user-friendly operating system. One last comment I have is that I made the mistake of buying the compact version of this keyboard without the numerical keypad thinking that I really didn't need it and wouldn't miss it (I had previously had the full-sized one, but without Touch ID). I now regret that decision every day. There is an almost imperceptible, possibly even purely psychological, but very real, difference in feel between the two sizes and I find myself still making numerous typing errors even many months later. I just can't seem to get used to how small this keyboard is and, especially when doing things that have to do with finance or banking, I do miss the numerical keypad -- a lot. But again, that's not related to any fault with this actual product. I'm giving this 5 stars because it's exactly what it's supposed to be and works exactly as designed. Unfortunately, Apple needs to go back to the drawing board on a few things having to do with its design.

It is basically a brand new keyboard. Everything works as expected.
