Compare keyboard models with color-matched aluminum and Touch ID.

Compatibility with other Macs

The keyboard models with Touch ID can be used with other M1 Macs. However, when the keyboards are used as Bluetooth devices with other computers, the Touch ID portion won't work.

With their first introduction, the keyboards are not sold separately from the 2021 iMacs even though they can be used with other computers (with the above limitations).
