Has anyone found a wireless keypad that is compatible with the M1 iMac? I'd get the extended magic keyboard, but it doesn't have the TouchID key. I looked up the Belkin keypad, but don't see that it's compatible yet.
Thanks for any help you can offer!

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
Apple Magic Keyboard with Touch ID does come in a version with the Numeric Keypad if you buy it at time of purchase with your iMac.
Only the Apple Magic Keyboards can offer Touch ID.

Exactly how I see it (a spare) and I've already used the TouchID so much that $179 doesn't seem like a lot for how awesome the keyboard is. Plus, I was able to get the purple color.
How I did it? I opened a chat with support, they said that the only way to handle it was to be over the phone. On the phone, I was told the only way to get it was to pay full price for it. It was handled through AppleSupport as a repair/"request for replacement part". Tech support had to keep putting me on hold to get all the info from whichever other department they were speaking with. I don't know if it matters, but I did pay for AppleCare+ for the iMac. I don't know if that came into play though. I was so happy to be able to buy it, I didn't ask questions :) I saw a lot of the websites that said it couldn't be purchased, so I wasn't optimistic when I called. Basically just said "take my money before you change your mind!" LOL
FWIW, The Belkin keypad is listed as compatible with the M1 - MacBook Air, MacBook Pro and mini. Although the M1 iMac is not listed it's hard to believe it wouldn't also be compatible. It's most likely an oversight on the page.
oh no! I had no idea the keyboard had multiple choices...I only saw the choices for the mouse/trackpad, etc. Should've noticed the arrow ****. I'll have to contact them. It's not listed for individual sale...
Thank you so much for helping me answer the confusion I had regarding why apple wouldn't put the TouchID with the keypad keyboard. I really hope they let me purchase it...
Well, that was a $185.95 mistake to miss the keyboard option when I made the purchase...
Fortunately, they let me buy it separately...unfortunately, it was pretty expensive...
Well worth it though :)
You are welcome.

Ouch. I suppose you could look at like now you have a spare.
If you don't mind, how did you end up ordering one? Most are under the impression they aren't available for sale at this time.
Thank you. That's good to know. 😎
wireless keypad for new M1 iMac?
