I really like the sound of this keyboard, and its not too noisy so its perfect for an office. Really nothing I can say bad about this keyboard, its honestly a steal at the price. Review: I HAVE NEVER WRITTEN AN desertcart REVIEW - I HAVE NEVER WRITTEN AN desertcart REVIEW despite buying things on desertcart 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. 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. ## Features - Optimized for Apple MacOS ONLY- Designed for Apple users in mind, the Slim X3 Bluetooth Backlit Keyboard features an extended keyboard layout with numeric pad, navigational arrows, and MacOS function keys for a sleek upgrade to any modern workspace - Multi-Device Bluetooth - Equipped with easy-to-use Bluetooth keys to assign up to four devices – perfect to type across your laptop, tablet or smartphone with a press of a button - Illuminated Keys - Built for convenience with backlit keys, featuring ten levels of brightness to adjust to nearly any type of environment and a rechargeable USB-C port for fast and easy charging - Modern Design - Features a sleek, aluminum finish to complement your Apple devices and low-profile, responsive keys for a comfortable typing experience - What You Get – With your purchase you will receive 2 rubber risers, a USB-C charging cable, and a user manual for your convenience.

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, Satechi Technical Support ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best alternate to an apple wireless keyboard. *by S***R on April 7, 2026* This is probably the best keyboard you will find if you are looking for something that feels like an apple magic keyboard and works with Windows.

Both offer some similar features such as backlighting and multi device support. However... On the mx keys mini, device switching is on keys F1, F2, and F3, and because of that, there is no monitor brightness control there as you normally have on a mac keyboard. On the satechi, they put multi device switching on keys 1, 2, and 3, and you hold the FN button down and press one of those to switch. This way they were able to keep the monitor brightness controls and other F-keys virtually identical to what we are used to having on our macs, including back and forward buttons for music. The Mx keys also doesn't have back and forward keys for music because they opted for other buttons there. So basically this one is more true to the mac key layout. You CAN, in the logi software remap some of the F keys to compensate for what's missing, but on the satechi there are no compromises to be made. The satchi is MUCH lighter, so if you ever lounge back in your chair and type from your lap, this one is more comfortable to pull off of your desk. There is also an issue with the mx keys mini, where on an initial bootup or restart, it doesn't pair until after you enter your passkey. Meaning you need to use another keyboard, or if you're using it with a laptop, use the laptop keyboard for that first login. That's wild, because the satechi works on the initial login without issue. It takes a second or two before the keyboard pairs on startup, but it does work for that initial login. So whatever reason logitech gives as an excuse for that, satechi seems to have made it work. The backlight stays on around a minute but dims after a few seconds, but overall works nicely. The MX keys mini now allows users to set anywhere from 5 seconds to 30 minutes of backlight though - which I believe is a new feature. This comes at the cost of battery and I normally don't need more than a minute of idle backlight anyways. Overall/TLDR: The satechi is light weight, closely resembles the true mac key layout, quickly switches between three devices, can be used corded, and can be used for an initial password screen on your mac unlike the mx keys mini by logitech. The logitech looks nicer and feels a bit higher quality, but the drawbacks still put this one ahead in my opinion. I will say though, that my power switch broke and fell into the keyboard so it is stuck on, and it took less than a month of use for the keys to get shiny from use even though I try to keep it clean. That is inevitable for any keys on a keyboard, but it happened very fast on this one, and those are the reasons I took a star off. ## Frequently Bought Together - Satechi Slim X3 Bluetooth Backlit Keyboard with Numeric Keypad – Illuminated Keys & Multi-Device Sync – for M2/ M1 MacBook Pro/Air, M2/ M1 iPad Pro/Air, M2 Mac Mini, iMac M1 (Space Gray) - Satechi M1 Wireless Bluetooth Mouse for MacBook Pro - with Rechargeable Type-C Port - Mouse for Mac, Mac Mini, iMac Pro/iMac, iPad Pro M2, iPad Pro/Air M1 M2 & More (Space Gray) - Apple 2024 Mac mini Desktop Computer with M4 chip with 10‑core CPU and 10‑core GPU: Built for Apple Intelligence, 16GB Unified Memory, 256GB SSD Storage, Gigabit Ethernet.
