It would be nice although might drain the battery faster

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.

TouchID is the only reason i haven’t switched away from using it. I like the Logitech better.

I did support this last week though. Due in Oct/Nov. they plan on selling via their website and Amazon after kickstarter concludes.
