This is an authentic Apple Refurbished keyboard. The Amazon listings should be mindful of the lightning vs. USB C distinction however. This keyboard I received was definitely a lightning keyboard. The functionality is what I expect from Apple keyboard and the feel is right. When compared with other authentic Apple peripherals, the color matches them and the Apple iMac lineup exactly. Going the refurbished route is a good way to get a good value (less expensive) for the peripherals of various colors that Apple holds back as exclusive only if you purchase an iMac of the corresponding color.I own as many as 12 of these keyboards and the charging is relatively fast and they hold a charge for a long time in hibernation. This is a quality product and for this listing you should not fear the refurbished product. The keyboard I received arrived with a quality control sticker indicating inspection in an unmarked box and a generic (non color braided) lightning to USB C charging cable (like comes with an iMac purchase) - so buyers should be cognizant of that trade off.The Touch ID (compatible only with Apple silicon Macs) functions as intended and is a very nice feature.
