    I HAVE NEVER WRITTEN AN AMAZON REVIEW
    5 Stars
    I HAVE NEVER WRITTEN AN AMAZON REVIEW
    I HAVE NEVER WRITTEN AN AMAZON REVIEW despite buying things on Amazon for years.This review is true.I tried 5 different keyboards and the Satechi Slim X2 and the Satechi Compact are #6 and #7 to try.I use Mac and love Magic Keyboard but it does not have backlight.I also wanted something small but that also had the number pad (useful for Sibelius).I wanted bluetooth connectivity and a similar typing experience to the Magic Keyboard.Many offerings have the CTRL key and FN switched in position which bothers my hot key routine.The Logi MX is excellent however the backlight shuts off and is activated by motion, therefore it is constantly going out and there is no way in the software or hardware to adjust this, as of writing.I am very glad I found these Satechi keyboards because they are the only ones that do exactly what I need:- backlit- backlit stays on- all keys are in the correct place for mac- the typing experience is similar to quality of Magic Keyboard- they are compact- include number padThe Satechi Compact is slightly thicker, probably of equal thickness to Magic Keyboard, and the X2 is slightly less thick.The Compact has rounded corner keys and the X2 has the square keys like on Mac.They are both excellent so far and I am returning the other keyboards. The X2 is more like the Magic Keyboard experience because of the square corner keys but they both feel the same otherwise.I am wondering if the Compact has better battery life as it is slightly more thick. But I just got these today so only time will tell.I am keeping both - one will live on my desk and one will live in my bag for travel.Unless the battery life turns out to be terrible I am glad to find these keyboards. I highly recommend.I don't care for writing reviews but I am very satisfied that I found these after quite a search that I felt inclined to share, which is very rare for me.The X2 could basically be a Mac product if it had the logo - it really matches it well and it has backlight. Odd that Apple does not make Magic Keyboard with backlight.Thanks for reading I hope this review saves you time and toil.UPDATE 11.24.23So far so good. I have been using the Slim X2. It is very similar to Magic Keyboard.I have not charged it yet even from the package opening. I read on the Satechi website (which is good) that the battery in the X2 is 1300 mAh and the battery in the Compact is 700 mAh. This is interesting because the Compact is slightly wider and thicker.In any case, both have good build quality, especially the Compact. It has some really nice metal binding and I think the body of both are aluminum or some other metal.I will probably choose the X2 first because the keys are square it is more reminiscent of the Magic Keyboard and the battery capacity is listed as being greater, though I am not sure at this point that this is an important consideration.One final note - the backlight does fade out if not typing and is reactivated with motion of fingers on keyboard. But unlike the MX keys the fade out does not happen immediately (was really annoying) and it takes approximately 60 seconds of inactivity for the fade to occur. This is a good thing.Also if the backlit setting is at full brightness when the fade happens it does not completely fade to zero it seems, which is also good. I am very happy with the X2. The Compact is really good too. The build quality is wonderful.

    5.0 out of 5 stars I HAVE NEVER WRITTEN AN AMAZON REVIEW
    Reviewed in the United States on November 22, 2023
    I HAVE NEVER WRITTEN AN AMAZON REVIEW despite buying things on Amazon for years.

    This review is true.

    I tried 5 different keyboards and the Satechi Slim X2 and the Satechi Compact are #6 and #7 to try.

    I use Mac and love Magic Keyboard but it does not have backlight.

    I also wanted something small but that also had the number pad (useful for Sibelius).

    I wanted bluetooth connectivity and a similar typing experience to the Magic Keyboard.

    Many offerings have the CTRL key and FN switched in position which bothers my hot key routine.

    The Logi MX is excellent however the backlight shuts off and is activated by motion, therefore it is constantly going out and there is no way in the software or hardware to adjust this, as of writing.

    I am very glad I found these Satechi keyboards because they are the only ones that do exactly what I need:

    - backlit
    - backlit stays on
    - all keys are in the correct place for mac
    - the typing experience is similar to quality of Magic Keyboard
    - they are compact
    - include number pad

    The Satechi Compact is slightly thicker, probably of equal thickness to Magic Keyboard, and the X2 is slightly less thick.

    The Compact has rounded corner keys and the X2 has the square keys like on Mac.

    They are both excellent so far and I am returning the other keyboards. The X2 is more like the Magic Keyboard experience because of the square corner keys but they both feel the same otherwise.

    I am wondering if the Compact has better battery life as it is slightly more thick. But I just got these today so only time will tell.

    I am keeping both - one will live on my desk and one will live in my bag for travel.

    Unless the battery life turns out to be terrible I am glad to find these keyboards. I highly recommend.

    I don't care for writing reviews but I am very satisfied that I found these after quite a search that I felt inclined to share, which is very rare for me.

    The X2 could basically be a Mac product if it had the logo - it really matches it well and it has backlight. Odd that Apple does not make Magic Keyboard with backlight.

    Thanks for reading I hope this review saves you time and toil.

    UPDATE 11.24.23

    So far so good. I have been using the Slim X2. It is very similar to Magic Keyboard.

    I have not charged it yet even from the package opening. I read on the Satechi website (which is good) that the battery in the X2 is 1300 mAh and the battery in the Compact is 700 mAh. This is interesting because the Compact is slightly wider and thicker.

    In any case, both have good build quality, especially the Compact. It has some really nice metal binding and I think the body of both are aluminum or some other metal.

    I will probably choose the X2 first because the keys are square it is more reminiscent of the Magic Keyboard and the battery capacity is listed as being greater, though I am not sure at this point that this is an important consideration.

    One final note - the backlight does fade out if not typing and is reactivated with motion of fingers on keyboard.

    Also if the backlit setting is at full brightness when the fade happens it does not completely fade to zero it seems, which is also good. I am very happy with the X2. The Compact is really good too. The build quality is wonderful.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Me encantó el teclado, mucho mejor que el de Apple
    Reviewed in Mexico on March 29, 2023
    Leí que era mejor que el original de Apple y SI! Tengo el original que es muy parecido (les debo la foto porque me dio flojera sacarlo y compararlo) mismo tamaño, mismo grosor, en lo personal hasta creo que es la misma experiencia al pulsar las teclas, la presión que se ejerce en ellas, es lo mismo.

    Sin embargo, si le gana por dos puntos:
    1) Porque tiene retroalimentación, se ilumina el teclado, solo las letras. Y es muy cómodo por la noche, no lastima la iluminación y se puede graduar.
    2) Porque es Multi dispositivo, puedes emparejarse hasta 4 dispositivos, mi lista: iMac, iPad Pro, MacBook 13" y hasta el iPhone!
    Por estas dos razones me encantó y claro esta, por el precio!!! Que vale menos de la mitad de lo que vale el original.
    Ahora bien, no digo que sea mejor en calidad y función, Apple es apple y es el rey en productos y calidad premium sin duda, pero este teclado de Satechi Slim X3 no se queda atrás también se ve bien y luce bien. Así que 100% recomendable.

    Lo MALO para mí, es que NO viene en ESPAÑOL, solo en INGLES, y palabras del propio Satechi: "Nuestros productos únicamente vienen en INGLES", así que ese es el riesgo. Pero lo tengo configurado como Español España y como ya me sé de memoria las teclas pues casi no las veo, y no se me dificulta la escritura. A veces, para programar o trabajar con Linux lo configuro en INGLES me es más fácil, pero aquí ya es de cada quien.

    NOTA: Únicamente lo he configurado y usado con productos de Apple, no lo he hecho en Windows pero por ser Bluetooh SUPONGO que no debe de haber problema.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Finally a worthy replacement for the Apple A1243
    Reviewed in Canada on February 5, 2023
    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
