Apple Magic Keyboard Vs Satechi

I replaced the Apple Magic Keyboard because it didn't light up.

Apple now sells the same size keyboard for much more money and you do Not get Backlit!!?? Satechi Nailed it for a very reasonable price. Lots of adjustment on the backlit and the space grey is perfect. All their products are beautifully designed and well built. Quality craftsmanship will last and that's why it deserves 5 Stars.

old Apple keyboard bit the dust and replaced with this Satechi - wonderful backlights! This lets the keyboard be used in any room light conditions.

Other than not having the touch ID function that Apple's Bluetooth keyboard offers, Satechi does an immaculate job. Even Apple's magic keyboard doesnt have backlit keys, like this one! It's recommend it in a heartbeat over the other one. Well built!

The Satechi Slim X2 keyboard has many pluses and few drawbacks. I got the Satechi keyboard to compare with my old Apple keyboard and I won't go back. This keyboard has a numeric keypad but has less of a footprint. Reaching for the numbers is more efficient. I had to reach for the numbers on the Apple keyboard. The backlit feature is convenient but why didn't Apple make it for standalone keyboards? Others seemed concerned about the battery drain using backlighting, but I haven't had it long enough to notice a difference. The feature I like best is pairing four external bluetooth devices. I can switch from writing Word documents on the MBP to texting on my iPhone . No lagging. Some others complain about the tactile squishing of the keyboard. I like the feel and sound. Despite the wedge shape of the keyboard, lifting it is like moving a frying pan--you need to find a place to grip. But that also is testament to the solid build. Use the 3M rubber feet that come in the box. It raises the back of the keyboard to a comfortable height. And it's easier to lift it off the desk. The $79.99 price makes it a bargain. The Apple Keyboard is going on the shelf with my old MBP.

The Apple Magic Keyboard with Touch ID is a game-changer. As someone who spends a lot of time typing, I can't describe the relief I felt when I got rid of my clunky old keyboard and switched to this sleek and elegant device. The most significant feature of this keyboard is undoubtedly the Touch ID. Having the ability to log in to my computer and authorize payments with just the touch of my finger is incredibly convenient, especially when I'm in a rush. The keyboard itself is Bluetooth-enabled, so it's easy to connect to my MacBook, iPad, or other Apple devices without any cables getting in the way. The keys are low profile and responsive, providing a satisfying typing experience that's both fast and accurate. One minor downside is that the keyboard doesn't have a backlight, which can make typing in low light a bit tricky. However, the build quality more than makes up for this small limitation. Overall, I've been extremely satisfied with the Apple Magic Keyboard with Touch ID. It has taken my typing experience to a whole new level, and I would highly recommend it to anyone in the market for a premium keyboard.

I love my Apple Magic Keyboard, and I use it every day at my work and at home. These things are pricey, but the battery lasts forever (I forget there's one in there) and the feel of the keyboard is great. If you're a snob or want a keyboard with a lot of travel, I would look elsewhere but if you want Apple's design language in a pretty good package that works for the common denominator, look no further. I just wish it was backlit.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] have purchased a lot of covers for my iPad and this one was the only one that was a keeper. Compared to the Apple Magic Keyboard they both charge via the iPad port, but the keyboard on the Magic Keyboard is not removable which can lead to problems at times. Offers great protection and the keyboard functions just as an Apple branded product. Easy to link with your iPad and works right out of the box. Durable and more lightweight than a Magic Keyboard. Magnet strength is great hold the iPad tightly in place. At half the price if the Apple Magic Keyboard is a better investment. Great value and product!

The Magic Keyboard is a serious improvement over the original keyboard I purchased for my 2017 iPad Pro, and that was pretty good. But there's really no fair comparison, since the new model is backlit, can charge the Apple Pencil, and appears to be more durable. I like the typing action. Typically, for Apple products, it's pricey, but I feel strongly that I got my money's worth.

I have had a few iPads before and I like this one the best so far. I also purchased the Magic Keyboard and the Apple Pen. A great combination. I really like the track pad. I am missing the function keys on the keyboard though. It would be nice to have volume control on the keyboard.
