Slim X3 Bluetooth Backlit Keyboard

I have bought bad keyboard before - this one is very sleek, elegant, and everything works well. The charge life is amazing. It is fully bluetooth always connects fine and is perfect. I live at 2 diff homes so I bought 2 of these and put them in each. Both working perfectly :)

Amazing keyboard, smooth button touch and slim design, recommended

Works very well. looks and feels high quality

disgusting keyboard DO NOT BUY

Great

Typing on the keyboard is not bad. But there is a lag for sure. Even at times the Bluetooth connection keeps getting disconnected. Price wise its ok. But now I regret buying.

X1 is more expensive than Apple’s Magic Keyboard. This is just overpriced.

I wanted a keyboard that matches my macbook M3. The S key wasn’t working well, you need to press it exactly at the center for it to register. Overall keyboard is okay, you need to press harder compared to macbook or the magic keyboard from apple. It is not compared at all with the responsiveness of apple keyboards. Overall decent, but not a high end quality.

Bonne qualité

Sono un developer e utilizzo questa tastiera 8-10 ore al giorno su Mac (ma anche linux e Win via macchina virtuale). Il feedback è immediato così come lo switch tra dispositivi connessi (fino a 4 su questa versione - feature molto comoda per "saltare" da un dispositivo ad un altro). La combo con eventuale trackpad esterno è formidabile per un utilizzo intensivo del pc. Utilizzo il layout US per sviluppare e nessun problema: attenzione a scegliere il layout adatto. La retroilluminazione è regolabile su 6 livelli e la barra dei tasti funzione (quella nella parte superiore per capirci) può essere facilmente impostata in modalità "function" o classici tasti funzione F1, F2, ecc...

I bought this keyboard as the one that comes with the iMac doesn't have a numeric keypad. I also really liked the backlit keys and the ability to par it with up to 4 bluetooth devices. Currently I have it on my home office desk with key 1 mapped to my iMac and Key 2 mapped to my Windows 10 works computer. I am able to switch instantly between them with no delay whatsoever. The build quality is really surprising. As it has no logo on the top you would just assume you are looking at an Apple keyboard which I really like. Typing is smooth and they keys have nice travel distance and feedback. Connection seems to be very stable. With my previous Apple keyboard I would sometimes get lag where the letters would appear on the screen a while after I typed them. Only a reboot would resolve. That hasn't happened yet with this one but its early days yet. The only downside is that it has a US layout meaning that there is no key with the £ symbol on it. For anyone wondering its Alt + 3 (they key with a hashtag on it). All in all its really good and a big step up from what Apple provides. Oh and if you went for the Apple Keyboard with numeric keypad its about £140 with no backlit keys and no ability to switch between bluetooth devices. Get this one!

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.
