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. Rubber knobs to raise height. The grey colour of the keyboard doesn't match the space grey of the Apple magic keyboard exactly, it's a slightly lighter shade (see attached photograph).

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). But I can confirm that pairing the Slim X3 via Bluetooth with a 2012-model iMac was flawless. I've been using the keyboard for a few weeks now and I'm very happy with it so far. It is a great keyboard for those who type for a long time, like me.

I have used every single Apple keyboard design since the original Macintosh in 1984. ! 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.

) 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. 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. It paired with my M1 Mac mini with no issues, and wakes the computer from sleep just fine. UPDATE (10 days): Adjusting to this keyboard took no time at all.

The keys have a tad more travel, it feels like one of the older MacBooks circa 2010, which isn't a bad thing. It's still not as high at the back as my original Apple USB keyboard that it's replacing and I'll probably have to jury-rig some kind of device to improve the angle, but it's not too bad. The typing angle is more comfortable. I have a Macbook Air M1 (2020) and the touch feel of this X1 from Satechi is very similar, with a little more depth in the keys.

The build quality is very good, it's up there with the Apple Magic Keyboard. And it has 10 different brightness settings which makes it very comfortable in very low light settings (like with a dark movie on).

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. This keyboard ain't cheap and this is a bit disappointing.
