AI-generated summary
If you’re already deep in the Apple ecosystem—especially using a MacBook with Touch ID—this keyboard makes a lot of sense. The Touch ID part isn’t just a gimmick; it genuinely improves the daily workflow (logging in, approvals, password manager usage) without having to fumble with your trackpad or screen each time. Build quality is excellent, the typing feel is consistently good for long work sessions, and it pairs nicely with Macs with minimal fuss.
That said, at £126.06 ex-VAT, it’s not good value for a generic office setup. If you’re buying for a mixed fleet of Windows/Linux PCs, you’ll quickly feel like you paid extra for features you can’t fully leverage. Also, purely from a “keyboard as a tool” perspective, plenty of non-Apple models will get the basics done just as reliably for less money—so unless Touch ID is a must-have, this is more of a “buy once, stay in Apple” purchase than a budget-friendly one.
**Who should buy:** Apple-focused teams, IT departments standardising Macs, and power users who will actually use Touch ID every day. **Who should skip:** cost-sensitive rollouts, mixed-OS environments, or anyone who just needs a straightforward, no-frills keyboard for typing.
