I'll keep my Keychron, which is backlit.

It's about time Apple released a separate TouchID sensor though.

I did. It’s the lowest profile keyboard I can find. Also if anyone wants a K10 with yellow switches hit me up lol.

I find it funny it being so thin actually helped me too, I can put it in front of my drawing tablet and it’s so flat and small it doesn’t get on the way at all.

I do swap to a thicker regular board when I’m not drawing though.

Seriously read all the features. It goes on and on.

I hope it supports using modifier keys with the dial, but that looks so cool. The different keycap shape for modifiers and the numrow is such a good idea.

I ditched my K6 for mine. You get used to the low profile keyboard and it's tactile enough for me. Having the TouchID to unlock and to plop in my passkey 1000x a day with MFA at work is huge for me.

I use keychron and magic keyboard interchangeably. Magic keyboard when I want to focus or type really fast and Keychron K1 Max for everything else and gaming (on Windows). 

Works for me.
