Review: Great product, great service by Satechi - This keyboard works fantastically with my MacBook Pro. I don't usually leave desertcart reviews, but I decided to because they also have great customer service; when a key fell off, they shipped me a replacement keyboard, free of charge. My only gripe is that it doesn't seem to accurately reflect battery life in the bluetooth menu in MacOS. I.e. it says 100% battery life when it's nearly empty. However, the battery life itself is solid, and this doesn't stop me from giving it 5 stars. Much more affordable than the Apple equivalent.
Review: Better than Apple with more features! - After owning this keyboard for over 18 months I can honestly say this is one of my favorite accessories I’ve purchased for my office. This keyboard looks great, feels great, a really quality built product. The keys don’t get shiny or worn down, and the backlight is my favorite! the battery lasts FOREVER, I’ve only charged this keyboard 3 times since I’ve gotten it! And being able to have 4 different devices saved on Bluetooth is very nice. I’d choose this over the Apple equivalent any day.

## 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,

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ The first worthy replacement for Apple's beloved wired aluminum keyboards
*by J***O on February 12, 2021*

This is a first-impressions review of the Satechi Slim X3 Bluetooth Backlit Keyboard. I have used every single Apple keyboard design since the original Macintosh in 1984. While some designs were pretty good and others more forgettable, Apple’s (wired) aluminum keyboard (shown in one of my photos) introduced in 2007, with its low height, thin profile, flat plane, square keys, gentle front-to-back slope, and minimal footprint has always been my favorite. Its design was a radical departure from the traditional dome-switch keys (tall, concave keys with a lot of travel) included in wired desktop keyboards of the era. Apple essentially took the chiclet-style keys found on MacBooks of the era, surrounded them with a flat plane of aluminum, and included it as a wired keyboard (including the arrow keys section and the numeric keypad) with desktop Macs. As a touch typist, I was reluctant at first to try the aluminum keyboard … but after 10 minutes of using one, I was immediately hooked, and it became my favorite Apple keyboard design. Burned by the lousy feel of the butterfly key mechanisms introduced in on the 2015 MacBook and 2016 MacBook Pros, I wasn’t willing to try the wireless Magic Keyboard with Numeric Keypad that replaced the wired keyboard in 2017 for desktop Macs — so I held onto Apple’s older wired aluminum keyboards for use with the several Macs that I use at home and work. In early 2021, when Satechi announced the new Slim X3 backlit keyboard (in both wired and wireless versions) with a design that appeared very similar to what I’ve considered Apple’s best wired keyboard — low height, thin profile, flat plane, square keys, gentle front-to-back slope, and minimal footprint, plus the bonus of backlighting — I was willing to give it a try. My early impressions of the tactile feel of the keyboard are very positive; to my fingers, the Satechi Slim X3 feels very comparable to Apple’s wired aluminum keyboard. Surprisingly, as you’ll see in a photo, keys in the main “qwerty” portion of the keyboard are just a tiny bit (perhaps only a couple of millimeters) wider than Apple’s, but the difference is so small that you won’t notice. Overall, the keyboard is actually narrower than Apple’s; Satechi has less separation between the “qwerty,” arrow keys, and numeric keypad portions of the keyboard. The front row of the Slim X3 is at roughly the same height as Apple’s front row. The back row of the Slim X3 is lower in height than Apple’s, but Satechi includes a pair of optional feet; if attached, the back row of the Slim X3 will be higher than Apple’s wired keyboard. The backlighting is a nice feature, and one not available at this writing in Apple’s Magic Keyboard with Numeric Keypad for Macs (as distinct from the Magic Keyboard for iPad or the Magic Keyboard built into MacBooks, which do have backlighting). The backlighting in Satechi’s Slim X3 is almost too effective in that the light leaks from the front and side edges of the keycaps, especially in the row of function keys when viewed from a normal typing angle. (Backlighting on my 2018 MacBook Air and on my Magic Keyboard for iPad both seem to be more contained.) But if Satechi’s keycap design is perhaps less refined than Apple’s in terms of backlighting, it doesn’t bother me — and, of course, the backlighting can be dialed down or turned off. Even though I’m a fan of wired keyboards for use with desktop Macs, I chose the Bluetooth version of the Slim X3 because the wired version has a USB-C connection and I will be using the Slim X3 for the time being with an older iMac that has only USB-A jacks. But I can confirm that pairing the Slim X3 via Bluetooth with a 2012-model iMac was flawless. Because the Slim X3 Bluetooth Backlit Keyboard can also be simultaneously paired with as many as four computers, I also paired it with a 2016 MacBook Pro. Switching between computers, using the function-row Bluetooth 1, 2, 3, and 4 keys at the top of the numeric keypad, works just fine and is quick. Because this is merely a first-impressions review, I can’t speak to the Slim X3 keyboard’s battery life; in fact, it came at least partially charged and I haven’t even charged it yet! If my impressions about durability or anything else are negative after a few months of use, I’ll come back to update this review. But initial impressions of the Satechi Slim X3 Bluetooth Backlit Keyboard are very positive. I’m glad to recommend this product. UPDATE (10 days): Adjusting to this keyboard took no time at all. Although keystrokes feel ever-so-subtly different from Apple's wired aluminum keyboard, the difference hasn't slowed me down. On rare occasions (maybe once or twice a day), keystrokes result in repeated letters on-screen (such as "mm" instead of "m"); I think it's this Satechi keyboard rather than my fingers since I didn't experience this with Apple's wired keyboard, but it doesn't happen often enough for me to be bothered or to reduce my rating. UPDATE (7 months): I continue to be impressed with the feel of this keyboard … but the issue of repeated keystrokes (such as "bb" instead of "b") happens often enough (a couple times daily, perhaps as often as once per hour, on random keys so I don't think it's a manufacturing defect on one or more keys) that I've lowered my rating from 5 stars to 4 stars. Given that this issue doesn't occur with Apple's old wired aluminum keyboard (and I use one of those almost daily on three other Macs), I'm inclined to think that it's a minor design flaw in Satechi's product. Going forward, I will try to pay more attention to which keys see occasional repeats — to confirm my theory that this is a minor design flaw rather than a defect with specific keys on my Satechi Slim X3.
