So where is the fingerprint sensor located on the keyboard? Well, it is is located inside the Windows button key on the right hand side. It can be used to log into a Windows computer or websites that use Windows Hello.
According to Microsoft, the Bluetooth range is up to 15 meters in open air. If you're in an office, the connectivity can extend up to seven meters. The built-in battery can last up to two months. By the look of it, the Modern Keyboard is a stunning piece of metal and provides a seamless experience with your computer. For more details check out the video embedded below.
