When Apple announced the Apple M1 iMac earlier this year, it also showed off a handful of new accessories such as the Magic Keyboard with Touch ID, Magic Mouse, and Magic Trackpad. Previously, some of these accessories were exclusive to the new iMac but starting today, they can now be purchased separately.
Magic Keyboard with Touch ID
The Magic Keyboard with Touch ID comes in two versions – one without a numeric keypad and another with numeric Keypad. The former is priced at $149 while the latter is $179.
The Touch ID button is located right above the Delete key and it provides secure authentication for logging in and making purchases. The keyboard itself is wireless and packs a rechargeable that will last up to a month on a single charge. Apple ships it with a braided USB-C to Lightning cable that will be used for pairing and charging the keyboard.
The Magic Keyboard with Touch ID is compatible with all Macs with Apple silicon running macOS 11.4.
Magic Keyboard
There is also a Magic Keyboard without Touch ID priced at $99. It too is wireless and has a rechargeable battery. Apple says it pairs automatically with your Mac and it also comes with a braided USB-C to Lightning cable.
The Magic Keyboard is compatible with Macs running macOS 11.3 or later, iPads with iPadOS 14.5 or later, and iPhones and iPods with iOS 14.5 or later.
Magic Mouse
There new Magic Mouse is priced at $79 and is wireless and rechargeable. It has a multi-touch surface that allows the user to perform gestures such as swiping between web pages and scrolling. While it also comes with a braided cable, Apple has kept the lightning port under the mouse.
Magic Trackpad
The $129 Magic Trackpad is wireless and rechargeable too and is packed with support for multi-port gestures and Force Touch technology. The trackpad is covered in glass and there are sensors underneath that detect the different pressures you apply.
Like the Magic Mouse, it is compatible with Bluetooth-enabled Macs running OS X 10.11 or later and iPad running iPadOS 13.4 or later.
All of the accessories are available for purchase on the Apple website.
