Mechanical Keyboards with modded in Touch ID
I think we would see mods like this a lot more if the price of entry to it wasn't the cost of a Touch ID keyboard. Since you're using a mixture of QMK/VIA keyboards, I just put my password on my keyboard as a macro. Yes it's slightly unsafe but I don't think anybody will know the three-key combination I use to unlock it - it's a QMK feature called combos. More on reddit.com

Unpopular Opinion: The Apple Magic Keyboard is almost perfect! | MacRumors Forums

Mechanical Keyboards with TouchID - deskthority
May 21, 2018 - Well, you can buy a Magic Keyboard with TouchID and pair it up with your Mac. So, I would think you could buy boards from Apple and insert them in your keyboard if you wanted to. Snazzy Labs did a video where he tore apart an Apple keyboard, removed the TouchID mechanism from it and shoved it into 3d printed enclosure.

r/mac on Reddit: Mechanical Keyboards with modded in Touch ID
May 23, 2024 - Does there exist a mechanical keyboard with the form factor, build quality and industrial design of the Apple Keyboard? ... Yes, plenty. A lot of them have much heftier, sturdier unibody aluminium chassis and baseplates and you can key get PBT keycaps instead of the cheap ABS ones Apple uses and obviously proper switches of your choice rather the gross mushy membranes. It just gets harder to find them with Mac keyboard layouts. And you lose Touch ID, but it seems these people have solved that.

July 21, 2022 - I’ve wanted Touch ID on my Mac for a long time. Here at Six Colors, we’ve wished for it since the earliest days of this site. But when it arrived, it was a strictly laptop-only affair. Finally, in 2021, Apple gave desktop users what we had wanted, in the form of a new Magic Keyboard with Touch ID. Hooray! Except… for the last few years, I’ve been using a clicky mechanical keyboard at my desk.
