PC Keyboard with fingerprint sensor

[silentbrown]

I've been unsuccessfully googling for one of these. It seems Microsoft used to make one, but don't any more - if it ever even made it to the UK...

Any recommendations - ideally one that's wireless?

MS used to sell them in the U.K. I think they went out of production. No idea why. I have one at work and one at home and they are excellent. I had to hunt down the second one on eBay though.

Apple do one, not sure if it works on non-Mac machines though

Keyboard works, touch ID doesn't.

Maybe a USB fingerprint 'dongle' thingy?

I have one already, but the location is far from convenient. On keyboard would be ideal, and I'm trying to avoid further desk clutter and cables

Why can't you just plug the fingerprint dongle into the keyboard?

And to preempt your response, why don't you just buy a wireless keyboard with a usb input on it?

That's plan b. Any recommendations, as I suspect wireless keyboards with usb inputs are uncommon, due to power requirements...
