Satechi Slim X1 Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard, US QWERTY, Backlit, Gray

I see some have had mixed experiences. If so, I highly encourage you to re-order another. This is hands down the BEST keyboard I have used, even more so than my silicon Mac naive keys, more so than Magic keyboard etc I use it both in the studio and on the road, for 12+ hours a day. Power time is remarkable (I NEVER switch it off, and am juicing it maybe once every 3 / 4 months), backlight a really nice option, highly portable, durable on the go, easy to jump between different pairings... Coupled with my Logitec MX Ergo S, this is the perfect ergonomic setup for my studio!

What a great little keyboard. Initially I bought it to use with my new Mac Mini G4, but after a few months I added a gaming laptop to my desk and this works on that too (I'm typing this review on it!). It's very compact and slides out the way when not in use and has the ability to work on 3 different devices. Typing feels nice, very much like a Mac keyboard and the berry lasts for ages. It was great value too as I got an open box one that looks like new!

I've only had this keyboard a day but so far it's really good. I'm coming directly from the Apple Magic Keyboard (full size), and while this does feel different it's about as close as you're going to get. The keys have a tad more travel, it feels like one of the older MacBooks circa 2010, which isn't a bad thing. The backlight works well too, there's a little bit of bleed around the keys as well as the actual letters lighting up, which I think is by design rather than a technical limitation. It would have been nice to have a UK keyboard layout option, but it's not the end of the world. shift + 3 is the £ sign if anyone is wondering. The build quality is very good, it's up there with the Apple Magic Keyboard. The grey colour of the keyboard doesn't match the space grey of the Apple magic keyboard exactly, it's a slightly lighter shade (see attached photograph). It doesn't bother me as I'm using it together with an Apple Magic Mouse which is black on top, but I could see it being an issue if you were looking to colour match to the Magic Trackpad. Connectivity seems good. It paired with my M1 Mac mini with no issues, and wakes the computer from sleep just fine. The keyboard can be paired with up to 3 wireless devices, and can be used wired as well. I haven't encountered the issue with the keyboard not being recognised at the login screen, or with key presses registering more than once - which was mentioned in a couple of the other reviews. It all works fine for me. The function keys labeled for screen brightness don't seem to work though. I have an Apple Thunderbolt Display connected to my Mac mini, and using the same keys on my previous keyboard adjusts the screen brightness. I don't know if I've not set it up correctly or something, but the rest of the function keys work fine and do as you would expect. Over all I'd give this keyboard 5 stars. While it's not perfect, the price is reasonable and I think the score needs bumping up a bit as it should be more than 3/5. Until Apple decide to make the space grey Magic Keyboard in the smaller size, this is the nearest you're going to get.

As a huge Apple fan, I’ve always stuck with Apple products. However, when my magic keyboard broke recently, I was a bit strapped for cash. So I decided to try the Satechi slim X1. I was blown away by how fantastic it feels and, in my opinion, it’s far superior to the Apple keyboard. It types beautifully, is incredibly responsive and incredibly easy to use. The only downside is that it’s American, so you have to go into your Mac’s settings and change the keyboard layout. It’s not a big deal though; the £ symbol isn’t on the keyboard, which is honestly not a huge issue. One feature I absolutely love is the three Bluetooth channels. You can link it to three different devices simultaneously and easily switch between them with a single click. The keyboard even has backlighting and an amazing battery life that lasts forever. It feels like it never needs charging. I’ve never looked back at the magic keyboard and we always use the Satechi now.

I have to admit, I was pleasantly surprised by this product. From its sleek design to the satisfying feeling while typing, it has exceeded my expectations. And for those who are wondering about its compatibility with Android devices, let me assure you—it works seamlessly! I've been using it with my Samsung Tab 8+, and it's been fantastic. I highly recommend this product to anyone in search of a quality keyboard for their Android device.

I think in somenthing similar apple keyboard. It good but...

Really like this keyboard. It's small, feels well made and connected easily enough. It looks great with my Mac studio. It's so much better priced that the official Mac keyboard which is absolutely ridiculously priced. I love how this feels nice quality with the metal casing. You can pair 3 Bluetooth devices with it. Would recommend

I really wanted to like this keyboard. The design is sleek, it matches my setup perfectly, and on paper it ticks all the boxes. Unfortunately, the actual experience has been pretty disappointing. First off, the Bluetooth connection has been unreliable. It randomly disconnects or lags, especially when switching between devices, which completely defeats the purpose of a multi-device keyboard. Sometimes there’s a noticeable delay when typing, and other times keystrokes just don’t register at all. It’s incredibly frustrating when you’re trying to get work done. The backlight is another letdown. It looks nice in a dark room, but the brightness levels feel inconsistent, and it drains the battery faster than expected. Speaking of battery, I find myself charging it way more often than I should for something in this price range. The typing experience also isn’t as good as I hoped. The keys feel a bit cramped and not as responsive as advertised. After longer typing sessions, it actually becomes uncomfortable. For the price, I expected a much more reliable and polished product. Right now it feels like I paid mostly for aesthetics rather than performance. I’d like to request a refund, as this hasn’t met my expectations at all.

Super jakość, dobrze się sprawdza z kilkoma urządzeniami na raz

Fick tyvärr ett måndagsexemplar som ej gick att ladda

Me encanta este teclado, lo uso con mi Macbook. Las teclas están en el mismo lugar que mi Macbook, ligeramente diferentes teclas de flecha. Las teclas se sienten similares en cuanto a los viajes. La batería dura mucho tiempo y se puede utilizar tanto por BT o en el cable USB conectado. No he notado ningún lag o malas teclas después de usarlo durante una semana durante el trabajo. La retroiluminación es agradable y el diseño es impresionante como se esperaba de Satechi. Gran alternativa más barata al teclado oficial de Apple. El único inconveniente que he notado, es que las teclas no funcionan cuando las presionas en el borde. Tienes que pulsar las teclas realmente en el centro del botón para que funcione, y mis hábitos de escritura aparentemente están causando que me pierda la 'T' a veces, ya que mi dedo está golpeando en el borde en lugar de la mitad. Pero después de usarlo más, me he acostumbrado y estoy seguro de que no me causará ningún problema.

I’ve been eyeing the Satechi Slim X1 keyboard for the longest time to pair it with my MacBook and iPad Pro. Sleek design and made for Apple makes this keyboard the best third party keyboard for your Apple ecosystem. Get it and you will never regret.

Produto excelente em função e design. Comprei pensando na combinação com meu setup Apple e encaixou perfeitamente, parece até um produto Apple.
