Depending on the model, you may encounter either a <strong>USB-C port<\/strong> or a <strong>Lightning port<\/strong>. Using the included woven cable allows you to charge the device directly from your Mac&#039;s port while maintaining a connection.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Battery_Life_and_Maintenance\"><\/span>Battery Life and Maintenance<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>These keyboards are engineered for efficiency, typically providing <strong>a month or more of usage<\/strong> on a single charge. This long-lasting performance means you rarely need to worry about power interruptions during your workday.<\/p>\n<p>Because the battery is internal and rechargeable, you avoid the waste and inconvenience of replacing disposable batteries. Simply connect the cable when the system notifies you that power is low, and you can continue working while it charges.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Renewed_vs_New_Hardware\"><\/span>Renewed vs. New Hardware<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Choosing between new and renewed hardware often comes down to your budget and preference for the latest port standards. <strong>Renewed options<\/strong> can offer significant cost savings while still providing the full functionality of the biometric sensor.<\/p>\n<p>When considering a renewed model, verify the included accessories and the specific port type, such as <strong>Lightning<\/strong>, to ensure it matches your existing cable ecosystem or your preference for newer <strong>USB-C<\/strong> standards.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_Asked_Questions\"><\/span>Frequently Asked Questions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_these_keyboards_work_with_Intel-based_Macs\"><\/span>Do these keyboards work with Intel-based Macs?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>No, the Touch ID functionality is specifically designed to work with Mac models featuring Apple Silicon.
