Apple launched the Magic Keyboard with Touch ID in 2021 for Apple Silicon Macs featuring M1, M2 chips, and more. While convenient, many users preferred higher-quality keyboards and resorted to mounting Apple’s keyboard under their desks for Touch ID access. This standalone Touch ID module offers a desk-friendly biometric authentication solution for macOS on Apple Silicon Macs. Some users even disable key input via Karabiner to avoid accidental presses. However, this setup can be cumbersome to manage. This product places Touch ID exactly where it belongs—within easy reach on your preferred keyboard. Available in three versions: a wireless tenkeyless (TKL), a wired TKL without battery, and a single model for the full 109-key keyboard. The design involves carefully disassembling a logic board, ideally sourced from a damaged or inexpensive unit. Assembly is straightforward with M2 brass inserts and screws, ensuring a secure fit without risking board damage.
