Apple Magic Keyboard with Touch ID and Numeric Keypad is available at Mascom International for KSh 30,000 — a full-width wireless keyboard with biometric fingerprint authentication, dedicated 10-key number pad, rechargeable battery lasting approximately one month per charge, and USB-C charging port that pairs automatically with any Mac running Apple silicon. This 2024 USB-C model replaces the earlier Lightning-based version and delivers a typing experience matched to the iMac, Mac mini, Mac Studio, Mac Pro, and every MacBook Air or MacBook Pro built around Apple's M-series chips. The Apple Magic Keyboard with Touch ID and Numeric Keypad ships with a woven USB-C charging cable, measures 41.87 cm wide by 11.49 cm deep, weighs just 369 grams, and is ready for immediate use at our Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD location.

Accountants, financial analysts, auditors, architects running CAD software, video editors in Final Cut Pro, and spreadsheet-heavy professionals across Kenya's corporate sector gain real productivity from the dedicated numeric keypad that the compact Magic Keyboard simply cannot match. The Apple Magic Keyboard with Touch ID and Numeric Keypad removes the daily friction of reaching for the number row during data entry, eliminates the need to type Mac passwords repeatedly throughout the workday, and adds the document navigation cluster (Page Up, Page Down, Home, End) that long-form writers, legal professionals reviewing contracts, and researchers navigating PDFs rely on. If you've been working on a Mac mini, Mac Studio, or iMac with the basic Magic Keyboard and constantly switching between mouse and keyboard to click the Touch ID sensor or reach the number pad, this upgrade solves both problems in a single accessory.

Mascom International sells the Apple Magic Keyboard with Touch ID and Numeric Keypad as a genuine Apple retail unit with Kenya warranty coverage, hands-on pairing support at our Kimathi Street shop, and countrywide delivery with payment collected only on arrival. At Mascom International, we're seeing steady demand from Nairobi's accounting firms, Mombasa-based financial services teams, and Kisumu's small business owners who run their books on Mac minis and want a keyboard that matches both the performance and the visual presentation of their workstations. Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya who stock generic third-party keyboards as Mac substitutes, our Kimathi Street location keeps the genuine Apple Magic Keyboard with Touch ID and Numeric Keypad in stock alongside compatible Mac systems so you can test pairing, verify compatibility with your specific Mac model, and confirm the typing feel before purchasing.

The extended layout adds a dedicated 10-key number pad on the right side and a document navigation cluster with full-size arrow keys, Page Up, Page Down, Home, and End keys that the compact Magic Keyboard does not include. The 41.87 cm width accommodates the extra keys without cramping the main alphanumeric section, so your typing position on the letters and spacebar remains identical to the compact version while you gain roughly 40% more functional keys. For anyone entering numbers regularly — accountants working in Excel or Numbers, developers writing code with frequent numeric input, traders monitoring prices, or finance professionals reconciling transactions — the number pad removes the constant reach to the top row that slows data entry and causes repetitive strain over long sessions. The document navigation keys matter for writers, editors, legal professionals reviewing long contracts, and researchers scrolling through academic papers who otherwise rely on mouse scrolling or function-key combinations to move through documents.

Touch ID on the Apple Magic Keyboard with Touch ID and Numeric Keypad works exactly like the fingerprint sensor on a MacBook Pro — place your finger on the sensor in the top-right corner and your Mac unlocks, approves app installations, authorises Apple Pay purchases online, auto-fills saved passwords in Safari, and confirms administrator permissions without typing your password. The keyboard stores your fingerprint securely in the Secure Enclave of your Mac's Apple silicon chip rather than on the keyboard itself, so enrolment happens on each individual Mac and your fingerprint data never transmits wirelessly. For Kenyan professionals working in shared office environments at Upper Hill, Westlands, or Karen business districts, Touch ID eliminates the security risk of colleagues observing password entry and speeds up the many small authentication moments that accumulate across a workday. Banking logins, MPesa-linked online payments, iCloud Keychain access, and corporate VPN authentication all become a single finger touch rather than a password re-entry.

Apple testing shows approximately one month or more of regular use per full charge when paired with Apple silicon Macs. Real-world use from Kenyan users working full eight-hour days at Mac mini and iMac workstations confirms that a single charge comfortably covers 4 to 6 weeks of daily professional typing before the low battery notification appears in macOS. Charging happens through the included woven USB-C cable connected to any USB-C port on your Mac, a wall adapter, or a powered USB-C hub, and a full charge completes in roughly 2 hours. The keyboard remains fully usable while charging — you can continue typing with the cable connected — so extended work sessions never pause for battery management. macOS displays the current battery percentage in the Bluetooth menu and Control Centre, giving clear visibility into remaining charge weeks in advance of empty.

Touch ID functionality requires a Mac with Apple silicon running macOS 11.4 or later, which covers the M1 MacBook Air and MacBook Pro from 2020 onwards, the M2 and M3 MacBook Air, all 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models with M1 Pro, M1 Max, M2 Pro, M2 Max, M3 Pro, M3 Max, M4 Pro, and M4 Max chips, the 24-inch iMac with M1, M3, or M4, the M1, M2, M3, and M4 Mac mini, the M1 Max and M2 Max Mac Studio, the M2 Ultra Mac Studio, the 2023 Mac Pro with M2 Ultra, the 13-inch and 11-inch iPad Pro with M4, the iPad Air M2, and iPad mini with A17 Pro. On Intel-based Macs, the Apple Magic Keyboard still functions as a regular wireless keyboard with the numeric keypad and all standard keys, but the Touch ID sensor will not authenticate because Intel Macs lack the Secure Enclave architecture that Touch ID requires. The keyboard also pairs with iPhones (iPhone 13 series and later) and compatible iPads for basic text entry, though Touch ID remains Mac-only.

The scissor-switch mechanism underneath each key delivers approximately 1mm of travel with a crisp, defined actuation point that feels closer to a MacBook keyboard than to the rubber-dome membrane keyboards commonly sold as Mac accessories in Kenya. Each key is individually supported rather than floating on a single membrane sheet, so keypresses feel consistent from the corners to the centre of the keyboard regardless of where your fingers land during fast typing. Users report that the low-profile layout reduces forearm fatigue compared to taller mechanical keyboards, and the aluminium base plate eliminates the flex and creak common in plastic third-party alternatives. The Apple Magic Keyboard sits flat on the desk at approximately 11mm at its tallest point, which matches the recommended ergonomic typing height for most desk configurations without requiring wrist rests. For long writing sessions — drafting legal opinions, writing technical documentation, composing lengthy emails, or coding for extended periods — the typing consistency reduces the small typing errors that accumulate on cheaper keyboards.

The Apple Magic Keyboard with Touch ID and Numeric Keypad costs more than both the basic Magic Keyboard and the standard Magic Keyboard with Touch ID, but it delivers two functional benefits that the cheaper options cannot provide: the 10-key number pad and the full document navigation cluster. For anyone who enters numerical data regularly — and this includes almost every accountant, financial analyst, SME owner managing their own books, property manager tracking rent, architect entering dimensions, or data analyst working in Excel and Numbers — the number pad saves measurable time every single working day. Touch ID on the compact version gives you biometric security but keeps you stretching to the top row for numbers; Touch ID on the extended version gives you both. The cost difference translates to under KSh 50 per working day over a typical 2-year usable lifespan, which professional users consistently report as well-justified given the daily time savings on numerical data entry and password authentication cycles.
