The keyboard includes a numerical pad, arrow keys, extra function keys, and a Touch ID button that unlocks Macs running macOS 15.1 or later on Apple silicon. It charges and transfers data over a woven USB-C cable, or connects wirelessly via Bluetooth. Best Buy's discount expires at 10PM PT today, and Amazon's stock is already shipping with a one to two day delay.\n\nBlack is the color Apple charges the most to protect. Its darker accessories carry a premium over the white equivalents and rarely go on sale, so a $30 cut here is a genuine rarity rather than a marketing pretext. That scarcity is also why deal trackers flag it at all - the price itself is unremarkable next to third-party keyboards with biometric login.\n\nA countdown timer on a $30 discount is standard retail urgency, not news - but for a keyboard Apple almost never discounts, the deal is the story.","[\"apple\",\"deals\",\"keyboards\",\"touch-id\"]","2026-09-22T18:10:57.000Z","2026-09-22T20:47:48.424Z","2026-09-22T20:47:54.030Z","published",null,[],"deals",[26,24,27,28],"apple","keyboards","touch-id",[30],{"name":31,"url":32},"The Verge","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.theverge.com\u002Fgadgets\u002F998824\u002Fapple-magic-keyboard-touch-interstellar-4k-blu-ray-deal-sale",0,{"sections":35},[36,41,46,51,55,60,65,69,74,79,84,89,94,99],{"name":37,"slug":38,"count":39,"latest_published_at":40},"AI","ai",4195,"2026-09-22T19:28:23.000Z",{"name":42,"slug":43,"count":44,"latest_published_at":45},"Security","security",702,"2026-09-22T21:01:05.000Z",{"name":47,"slug":48,"count":49,"latest_published_at":50},"Policy","policy",366,"2026-09-22T18:04:41.000Z",{"name":52,"slug":24,"count":53,"latest_published_at":54},"Deals",200,"2026-09-22T19:28:55.000Z",{"name":56,"slug":57,"count":58,"latest_published_at":59},"Hardware","hardware",167,"2026-09-22T20:00:00.000Z",{"name":61,"slug":62,"count":63,"latest_published_at":64},"Science","science",131,"2026-09-22T16:26:30.000Z",{"name":66,"slug":67,"count":68,"latest_published_at":59},"Consumer Tech","consumer-tech",110,{"name":70,"slug":71,"count":72,"latest_published_at":73},"Software","software",79,"2026-09-22T19:44:31.000Z",{"name":75,"slug":76,"count":77,"latest_published_at":78},"Dev Tools","dev-tools",78,"2026-09-18T04:00:00.000Z",{"name":80,"slug":81,"count":82,"latest_published_at":83},"Startups","startups",63,"2026-09-22T21:24:11.000Z",{"name":85,"slug":86,"count":87,"latest_published_at":88},"Gaming","gaming",45,"2026-09-22T15:35:06.000Z",{"name":90,"slug":91,"count":92,"latest_published_at":93},"General","general",43,"2026-09-21T23:48:56.000Z",{"name":95,"slug":96,"count":97,"latest_published_at":98},"Reviews","reviews",27,"2026-09-22T13:00:00.000Z",{"name":100,"slug":101,"count":102,"latest_published_at":103},"How-To","how-to",6,"2026-06-16T09:00:00.000Z"]
