For what Apple device running what OS version? Is it the iMac running 10.13 shown in your equipment line? I have to ask because those equipment lines show the wrong device about half the time.


The tech specs say that Magic Keyboards with Touch ID requires a Mac with Apple Silicon (2020 or later).

The older versions (no touch ID) should work with any Bluetooth-enabled Mac running macOS 10.12 or later:
