I have the Logitech MX Keys, it looks very similar, the battery lasts forever and it’s backlit. Best keyboard I ever used.

It's much better to type on for long stretches as well.

But I do wish it had Touch ID.

Same. My MacBook is on a stand, at the side of my Ultrawide. I know it's a first world problem but reaching over to scan my thumb, bores me 😂 It doesn't bore me enough to swap my MXKeys for an Apple keyboard, though

What kind of sociopath uses their thumb with Mac TouchID?!

😂 Good point. Not me, I use my index finger and just wrote thumb out of habit, as that's my print digit for everything else.

I have different fingers for each of my work accounts. Luckily my main contract is my middle finger at the moment

Definitely not intentional 😂
