Touch ID reader

I'd like to get Touch ID on my Mac Mini (Arm, M1) but I don't want to buy a $150-180 Apple keyboard. Are there 3rd party fingerprint readers that will work with Touch ID?

No.

Will the magic mouse do Touch ID?

Only the Magic Keyboard.

An Apple Watch can also be used to unlock a Mac.

Oh. Another good reason to get an Apple Watch, I guess. Thank you
