SATECHI Slim X1 Bluetooth Backlit Keyboard – Illuminated Keys & Multi-Device Sync – for M2/ M1 MacBook Pro/Air, M2/ M1 iPad Pro/Air, M2 Mac mini, iMac M1 (Space Grey)

I love keyboards and have a range of keyboards from magic, Mx Mech Mini to Keychron. I bought this keyboard during my initial research as i wanted something to match by setup in black color. My honest take for somebody buying in India is to just go for Logi Mx Keys or magic keyboard because first the keys on this keyboard is harder to press and simply tires your hands quicker than anything else plus the look and feel of this keyboard is cheap. It does keyboard job well enough for me to share an overall positive review such as individual keys are larger than any other keyboard i have tried, great backlit, stable bluetooth experience and good battery life coverage (means didn’t had to worry about charging). Update: keyboard was dead after 6-8 months of use and got thrown away. Also overpriced now for indians

Super jakość, dobrze się sprawdza z kilkoma urządzeniami na raz

As a long-time fan of the now defunct Apple A1243 wired keyboard, I have been disappointed with the latest iterations of the Apple Magic Keyboards. The minuscule key travel provided by the new scissor-switch keys has long left me disappointed. Finally, Satechi comes along incorporates the all-important missing tactile elements of the original A1243 and includes functionality such as backlighting and multiple device compatibility. Then on top of that, they have the nerve to offer all this for about $100 less than Apple. This is a TKO. The keys provide just enough extra travel and tactile feedback that makes for that satisfying typing experience I have long missed. Not to mention the backlight has 9 levels of brightness. I just leave the keyboard plugged in so I don’t have to worry about the battery drain. As someone who interacts with a keyboard for a living, these are tools not to skimp on. Ergonomics plays an important factor in my day-to-day life, and this is a great addition. Satechi hit one out of the park here. Pros: ☺ Tactile feedback ☺ Backlighting ☺ 4 Bluetooth devices paired ☺ Premium aluminum finish ☺ Value compared to the competition Cons: ☹ The provided attachable “adjustable height” feet seem sort of like a bit of an afterthought. Granted this is still better than Apple not providing anything at all. The A1243 had the two USB ports incorporated which provided some lift. Overall: If you are looking for a keyboard with excellent feedback for a scissor switch, a plethora of options, and premium aesthetics this is an excellent choice. I have little negative to say about it... Highly Recommend

This Satechi BT keyboard is pretty much identical in size, shape and material as the Apple Magic Keyboard, but not quite as nice or finished as well, but hey I do like the much lower price. The bluetooth connection is good and persistent, but not always as 'instant on' as the Apple version when you wake your MacBook up.

Did not expected such great keyboard with outstanding battery life

This is a very high quality, great keyboard. Having tried both the X3 and the W3, I would say that this (the X3 bluetooth version) is slightly better the W3 (the wired-only version) in a couple of ways, but also worse in one way which may matter to you. In terms of ways in which the X3 is better, firstly the W3 has only 3 brightness levels where the X3 has 10. (Although in fairness the 3 levels on the W3 are still well chosen, and the darkest not too bright.) Secondly (and slightly weirdly), on the W3 then £ and # symbols are printed the wrong way round on the 3 key. Since this is basically a US layout keyboard, the # symbol should be printed at the top of the key, not to the side, corresponding to the symbol accessed when pressing shift, as is done on all the other numeric keys on the W3, and indeed as is done on this keyboard, the X3, which has the same layout!) Related to this, I slightly prefer this keyboard, the X3's, key labelling over the W3, as on the X3 they don't include the ALT (€ and £) symbols on the 2 and 3 keys at all; I prefer this as omitting these symbols makes the keyboard look just a little neater and less cluttered. The one major downside to the X3, if you're the kind of person who regularly uses Del/F2/F12 to break into the BIOS menu, is that the X3, *even when used in wired mode* cannot consistently do this, and (not always, but often, half the time or more) causes the BIOS to report that there is no keyboard attached. (The W3, as would be expected of a natively wired-mode keyboard, has not such problems.) To point out one more (minor) imperfection shared by the X3 and the W3, the lighting on these keyboards is just not quite as beautiful as the lighting on a real Mac laptop keyboard - specifically, there are small overly bright spots here and there around the keys, where the light shows through too much, rather then the really uniform lighting around the keys on real Mac laptop keyboards. Nevertheless in build quality, in looks, and even in the above-mentioned quality of the lighting, this and the W3 are _way_ better than any of the (several) other illuminated external keyboards for the Mac which I have tried recently.
