Review: Nice compact keyboard with a good build quality and nice typing feel. - 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!
Review: An excellent keyboard - 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.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can this be used wired as well? Since the battery inside is not user replaceable, do you just throw away the whole keyboard, or is it dual power?**
A: I don't know why the other user gave you incorrect information. The keyboard 100% has wired mode. Plug a USB-C cord into your computer and the keyboard, then press "FN + Eject Key" on the keyboard (Eject Key is to right of F12). Bluetooth will turn off, the keyboard will be charging, and it will still work with your computer.

**Q: What is the battery life if you have backlight off?**
A: Thank you for choosing Satechi and for reaching out to us. 

We first recommend charging the keyboard for at least 2-3 hours with the included charging cable with a power adapter for a more efficient charge. (18W and up) 

If you are using the backlight all the time at the highest brightness, it can drain the battery quite fast, but it does have a standby shut-off mode, that kicks in after 30min of non-usage. You can change the settings so it does not completely shut off.


With no backlight on, the battery is about 60hrs.

If you would like to use the backlight and not worry about the battery, you can also use the keyboard in wired mode. While using one of the two cables included, you can use the key combination (fn+usb/eject) to turn off the Bluetooth and use it in wired-only mode. A green light will stay lit on the top right when in this mode

**Q: Will this keyboard work ok with a pc and android device as well? i would assume so....**
A: Yes. The Satechi Slim X1 Bluetooth Backlit Keyboard will be compatible with Windows and Android Devices.

**Q: Is this backwards compatible with bluetooth 2.1? i cant get it to connect to my macbook (late 2008) eventhough my os is up to date...**
A: Hello,
thanks for reaching out to us.

Unfortunately our X1 SLIM is not compatible with old devices with 2.1 Bluetooth modules.

kind regards,

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ very viable alternative to the rip off Apple equivalent
*by D***D on 13 October 2023*

From the moment of opening the Amazon cardboard box, I was impressed by Satechi's offering. We often think of Apple as being the arbiter of all that is good when it comes to packaging, but Satechi are trying hard with this one and the unboxing was a refreshing delight. The keyboard itself is well designed and built - Satechi are clearly listening to their reviewers as included were two little rubber stick on feet to help elevate the keyboard angle. It's still not as high at the back as my original Apple USB keyboard that it's replacing and I'll probably have to jury-rig some kind of device to improve the angle, but it's not too bad. I was really after this one because 1) it's Bluetooth and my new Mac mini is woefully lacking in ports and 2) it's backlit which is great in my dingy office. However well the Bluetooth works (flawlessly) this keyboard is a little let down by the backlighting, which is why I've given four instead of five stars. It's just not very well engineered. As you can see from the photo, there's little points of light spilling out around some of the keys, which is frankly quite distracting. I'd've expected better, to be honest. This keyboard ain't cheap and this is a bit disappointing. However, it's got a lovely typing feel and I'm getting on with it quite well. If you've got a Mac and you want a wireless keyboard that's as well built as the Apple one, this Satechi is well worth the money. Sure, there's a couple of little issues, but they're fairly insignificant in the grand scheme of things.
