Setting up the Touch ID feature is similar to how it’s done on other devices. The full-size keyboard’s height, width, and depth (0.4 by 16.4 by 4.5 inches) remain identical to that of the older keyboard, though it manages to lose some weight, clocking in at 0.81 pound, which is a fraction of an ounce lighter than the older full-size model. The bespoke, high-quality look and feel of the Magic Keyboard remains in this latest refresh. If there’s one thing that Apple nails across every device in its product line, it’s the overall look and design.

Other than this addition, it’s virtually the same as it has always been, which might delight Apple enthusiasts but doesn't make it compelling for anyone else.

For tighter integration with M1-powered desktops like the Mac Studio and the 24-inch iMac, Apple offers an updated full-size Magic Keyboard (starts at $179 $199 as tested), adding Touch ID to the roster of features found on its full-size keyboard. But while Apple continues to push the envelope with its PC hardware (and how much people are willing to spend on it), the company's Magic Keyboard doesn't enjoy the same amount of innovation, with its overall look and function remaining virtually unchanged for years.
