I bought this because I loved my MacBook keyboard so much and switched to an external monitor setup rather than just the laptop itself, it works great! Also wanted the numeric keyboard. I did have some lagging issues after about a week in, but that was resolved by plugging it into my MacBook and letting it be connected for about a day (could have been a low battery issue). Other than that, I have no complaints, I love the Touch ID on it because before, I was typing my password in every time because I put my Mac in clamshell mode. I do have to charge it more frequently than I thought but I really only have to every week and a half to two weeks, though I am out of school right now and am using it a lot less than I normally do during school time, so well see how long that time frame is once I start using it more.
The only thing I would add would be a backlit keyboard, not a necessity, but something that would be nice for late at night, but my monitor lights up the keyboard enough to use it, would just be a nice feature to see.
I will admit, I am biased because I love Apple products, I chose to buy this one for sixty bucks more (it was on sale) than a Logitech one simply because it was Apple and it also had the Touch ID.
Ok, one other request, I wish it also charged via USB-C rather than Lightening because that would just make life a whole lot easier because I plan on keeping this for a while and everything lightening is going away because of the EU. But then again, I chose to buy it on a sale price rather than wait a couple months for them to release a new one.
In conclusion, I truly do love this keyboard, but get it when it is on sale because even on the sale price, it is hard to justify. But the key point to this is that the only reason you should buy this over a Logitech one is because of that Touch ID, if you cannot use that or don't use it a bunch, don't buy it.

BEST KEYBOARD EVER! SILENT, SLEEK & FAST!
As a long-time Apple user who also has purchased tech/computer products from other brands, I always come back to Apple for their highest quality & efficient products. It is expensive but so worth the money. I had bought a cheaper typewriter USB keyboard and one of the letter stickers came off after a few months. I also was getting tired of the loud typewriter sound (yes, I go through phases on what I like/dislike). I currently use a Mac Mini Studio (as well as an iPhone and iPad) and this keyboard works perfectly!
