Greetings all,
I'm currently using the Magic Keyboard that came with my 2017 iMac, which has a numeric keypad and no Touch ID. Unfortunately it's starting to miss keystrokes, and I believe it's only a matter of time before it dies on me like the one that came before it (the thicker one — one day two columns of keys just stopped working, just like that).
I actually like this keyboard, and I'm wondering if I should actually get an extra one just to be safe later on. My concern stems from the fact that most retailers here in Italy do not have this one in stock. They have the ones with Touch ID (both with and without numeric keypad) and, occasionally, the one without either a numeric keypad and Touch ID. None seem to have any information on expected restocking dates.
Apple's own Store seems to have them all keyboards ready to ship, albeit at full price, but that doesn't give any hints on whether they're about to be discontinued.
Does anyone have any idea whether it's just a temporary distribution hiccup?
Thank you in advance!
