SatechiSlim X1 Bluetooth Backlit Keyboard – Illuminated Keys & Multi-Device Sync – for M2/ M1 MacBook Pro/Air, M2/ M1 iPad Pro/Air, M2 Mac Mini, iMac M1 (Space Gray)

I game a lot on my pc but I mostly play with a controller. Lately I've been playing more keyboard and mouse strategy games (Divinity 2 and Baldurs Gate 3) and figured I needed a better keyboard since my kids nearly broke my last one.First, I love how sturdy the metal housing is. Out of the box it's got a solid build.Second, it was so quick and easy to hook up, and immediately the volume worked, pause, play, next, previous, all of it works perfectly! And it has 10 different brightness settings which makes it very comfortable in very low light settings (like with a dark movie on).Third, I've always personally loved lower profile keyboards much like a laptop. I find them easier to type on and also kinda like typing on one of those bubble pop fidgit toys for kids and I'm obsessed lol.And Lastly, it comes with 2 3M bumps to put on the back to put the keyboard at more of an angle for your wrist which I ended up using and the single feels great.TL;DROverall, I'm loving this keyboard, it's build, it's feel, and it's utility and full selection of buttons. If it doesn't give me any issues I will probably be back to buy the full sized keyboard from Satechi and use this one for my laptop!2 Year Review:It still works great, it still looks great, I still love it! My only complaint is that sometimes it takes a second to "wake up" when you first go to use it for the day, but that's only sometimes when I leave it unplugged for a while. ZERO keys sticking (And I game with it so I have a tendency to be rough on my keyboards), the light is still as bright as ever, and it still feels luke I could knock a burglar out with it and still use it no issues lol.

Hello, Ateck and MX Mini Keys (w/o Logi Software)_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-Should have just gotten this Satechi Slim X1 keyboard for Mac Mini from the get-go.I have the Logi MX Keys Mini for Mac. It has connection issues falls asleep fast, wakes up too slow. ExpensiveOwn the Arteck el cheapo $25 but still really good always connected keyboard. Small size and price.The Satechi is just right in every way. Well lit with 10 light levels, quickly connects and stays connected, easily connects to Mac, iPad, and iPhone, never wakes up my sleeping Mac, and does not need any supporting drivers or software to function correctly. Truely connect and play. The included foot pads angle the keyboard perfectly and comfortably. The Battery Widget on Mac desktop connects and allows battery level viewing just as a Mac Keyboard would.This is the keyboard Apple should have made for Mac. In all, Satechi Slim X1 is a 10/10 with zero downsides and no compromises.Bluetooth, Backlighted, Easy connection 3 devices, perfect size, no numerical keys, no dongle or drivers/software required. It just works. It's a keeper. (In 25 years of Apple products, this is the best non-Apple product ever purchased).Awsome.

Great keyboard. Value for money. Better than magic keyboard. Very easy to type in and the battery lasts for months. I love that I can connect this with my mac and ipad at the same time. Easy to carry with keyboard led lights. Very functional design as well.

This keyboard is pretty compact. Actually, I'm using it right now to type this review. It's not ergonomic, but the bluetooth connection to my MBP laptop is great. I have my laptop up on a stand, so I needed a solution for easy typing. This works great. Sleep mode works too, but it happens quicker than I'd like, then it takes a few seconds to wake up. Wireless battery lasts for quite a while though, and it's easy to charge. Nice color match with my other devices too. For a true bluetooth keyboard that doesn't even need a USB sensor, this one is a pretty decent choice.
