No nonsense quality wireless keyboard
Works well, no need for drivers and no automatic bloatware install. I love that. It connects quickly and has good features to save power, such as turning off the backlight after inactivity. The keys have nice feedback and are comfortable to use for longer periods. The key switches are like brown switches and provide feedback with low noise and average weight. The build quality is good, they used metal on the frame, which feels sturdy. It has a luxurious feel to it. My only issue with it is the placement of the backlight button. It is next to the backspace/delete button. If pressed by accident you need to press it a dozen more times to get back to the setting it was on.

About as ideal as you can get - JUST RIGHT!
This keyboard is not fancy; not a lot of bells and whistles, but it is also not basic. Just an amazingly functional and comfortable everyday driver. It is attractive in a minimalistic sort of way, including excellent WHITE backlighting that rivals the keyboard on my MacBook Pro's built-in keyboard. I never have trouble seeing the key legends in the dark - not too bright, not too dark. The feel is a nice compromise between a linear smooth-action switch and a brown switch with a very slight "bump" at about half way through the travel. It isn't quite silent, but it is not loud either. A comforting "thock thock" sound coupled with the tactile bump makes this the most accurate keyboard I've ever used. And build quality is good - it isn't a tank, but it doesn't feel cheap either. Again, the whole package is "just right". A highly recommended, handsome workhorse.

Amazing Keyboard, Great Price, Can't Recommend Enough
As a lot of the other reviews have noted, this keyboard doesn't have the bells and whistles of some other keyboards, but it is by far the best feeling keyboard I have ever used in my life. In fact it is so good that I bought it only for work on my MacBook, but it ended up replacing my Corsair K95 RGB PLATINUM gaming keyboard on my gaming PC as well with the multi-device connectivity. The only thing I'll note is that when connected to my gaming PC via Bluetooth there was a pretty noticeable input lag, but connecting it over the wire or via the USB dongle fixes that issue entirely. Couldn't recommend more!! tl;dr - Amazing keyboard with wonderfully creamy feeling switches, better than anything I've personally used before, and it even works well as a wireless gaming keyboard

Highly recommend - but with nuances...
I seriously like this keyboard. I think it was very well thought out, designed, and built. I use it switching between an HP laptop (windows 11) and a 2019 Macbook Pro (Sequoia) with the touch of a single button. Flawless. The keys are 'clicky' but not 'slappy' if that makes any sense. I have no complaints about the battery life. Overall, I would buy this keyboard again, and recommend it to anyone. That said, and the reason(s) for 4 instead of 5 stars, are as follows: 1.) Lower corner edge keys (Cntrl) could use a 'bumper' or raised 'notch' to keep from accidentally keying these with the sides of you hand. Satechi has done a wonderful job maximizing the available footprint of this device, but with those corner keys mildly exposed per se - you can easily find yourself pressing Cntrl + (who knows?) what. If you're aware of this then it's no big deal, but could be tweaked in future iterations. 2.) Keystroke resistance. this device is great to work with however the actual resistance is a a shade to the light side (for my personal taste). There's great feedback from the keys etc. but I find it just a bit 'too' easy for my [optimal/desired] taste and prone to 'collateral keystrokes' if I'm not paying attention. Maybe it's just my sloppy hand positioning. 3.) Key backlighting. The backlighting works great with no dark or areas that I've seen. While the whole 'light show' patterns available are nice - they're not exactly practical. I either want backlighting off, or on (yet dimmable - which this keyboard does). The whole scrolling though star wars light show patterns to get to my steady on mode does nothing for me. So the combination of those minor factors cost this review a star. Hope this review helps anyone considering a purchase. Again - I highly recommend this keyboard. Just know there's a few (potential) nuances you may or may not appreciate.

Great Mac-focused keyboard. Windows users supported too.
I long desired a mechanical keyboard for my various mac minis, but was dubious third parties could make a mac specific keyboard that wouldn’t be lame due to vying for the masses of windows users. Satechi comes through again! This is a nice, compact keyboard which can connect up to four devices. The Apple specific keys are there and, for windows users, Satechi provides the alternate windows keycaps for the various options keys. There is no customization software for this keyboard. The backlighting is nice, but, beyond the simple keystroke backlighting, I’ve always found such things a big gimmicky. Whatever. I don’t have to use it.

The best keyboard I've ever used /worth the $$
I absolutely love this keyboard. I was fortunate enough to use one that my coworker had purchased and it's perfect. (He had tried multiple keyboards before he landed on this one). Just the right amount of key clack and the backlight really helps as well. Great options for connecting by USB-C, FOB, or Bluetooth. I prefer the FOB and it works well. I tried Bluetooth first and it worked well until I let the battery die and then I lost connectivity temporarily during a meeting, so I've used the FOB since then. The battery lasts me a week usually, But I recharge it every Friday after work and its ready for the next week. I can't say enough about this product. Yes, its not cheap, but quality is never cheap and you get quality in this keyboard... hope this helps you if you are concerned about the price and value.

タイプ音は思ったより少し高めで、会社で配布されたキーボードが低い音なので最初は少し恥ずかしかったのですが、見た目がコンパクトで目立ちすぎないデザインなので、会社でいろんな方に「可愛いキーボードですね」と褒められました。

I'm obsessed with this keyboard! It's my first time purchasing a mechanical keyboard, and I did a lot of research to make sure I got a product that was not too pricey but still decent. I'm so glad I ended up getting this SATECHI keyboard because it is simply exactly what I was looking for. I love the sound effects as I'm typing and also the light options that you get and can use to display your keys. I think it's amazing, and also if you are a first-time mechanical keyboard buyer, I think that this is a really great keyboard to start with. Good quality, and I think you do get your value for your money.
