I DO NOT REGRET THIS PURCHASE...
All I can truly say is that I'm glad I researched keyboards for long enough to settle on this one. I just entered the Apple device ecosystem with my very first Mac, an M4 Mac Mini, and this is the one peripheral that agrees with the Mac and works properly EVERY TIME I TURN IT ON. speaking of "on", the on/off switch seems to function backward and it's VERY small which makes it a little difficult to manipulate if you don't like to pick up your keyboard but, that is my only complaint. This keyboard is beautiful, reliable, feature rich and VERY well constructed. I DO NOT regret buying this instead of Apple's keyboard.

Great product, great service by Satechi
This keyboard works fantastically with my MacBook Pro. I don't usually leave Amazon reviews, but I decided to because they also have great customer service; when a key fell off, they shipped me a replacement keyboard, free of charge. My only gripe is that it doesn't seem to accurately reflect battery life in the bluetooth menu in MacOS. I.e. it says 100% battery life when it's nearly empty. However, the battery life itself is solid, and this doesn't stop me from giving it 5 stars. Much more affordable than the Apple equivalent.

Very nice but with a couple of resolvable issues.
Both good and bad. Good: look and feel. Space grey with black keys works very well. Bad: auto sleep "feature" is a bit annoying; that, and bluetooth is a bit buggy — so I only use the cable to connect to my M2 Mini. Backlighting has some bleed around the keys. Worst of all is that the first unit I received had an issue with the Return/Enter key which seemed to be slightly unstable — often when you press the key near its extreme left or right edge it failed to activate. So I returned it and the second keyboard they sent is just fine.

Superb Keyboard - NO WIRES!
Superb keyboard. My typing accuracy improved immediately and the backlighting feature was a game changer. Customer support was brilliant and prompt.

Poor build quality; worse customer service
The keyboard looks nice, but it stopped working in a bit less than nine months. Around 1/3 of the keys are totally unresponsive, including the keys needed to perform a reset. A Google search revealed that this is a common issue with Satechi slim keyboards. I reached out to customer service, as the device is warranted for two years. After a week of runaround asking for videos and for me to do the sorts of things I'd already told them I'd tried, I gave up any hope of having the problem resolved. It's clear that customer support knows this is an issue and that they have been told to delay in the hopes that customers will give up. If you want Apple aesthetics, then just save up and buy an Apple keyboard. It costs twice as much, but it'll actually work, and if it doesn't, well, Apple actually honors its warranties.

good looking, nice action
I have only had this keyboard for a couple of days so I can't speak to its longevity. However it seems very well built so I have some confidence in that area. What I do like straight away is the key action. I have always used Apple keyboards and have always liked them, but this has all the good stuff and improved on them IMO. The action has a little more travel and touch which I find helps to identify when you may have struck too lightly to register a letter. In comparison Apple's keyboard has less sensitivity and gives no feedback to touch. This one has a confirming slight click to the stroke and a discreet old fashioned key sound that lets you know you have registered your key stroke correctly. I have no problem with double ket hits as others have said, rather I have had far less missed keystrokes. Bluetooth connection is fast and consistent and the ten step keyboard backlight is very useful, although I find the light leak around the sides of the keyboard a little distracting but again, no biggey. I haven't decided on using the keyboard raising pads yet and I think there could be a more elegant solution than stick on bumpers. The range of control keys for volume, apps and other things is also useful as is the ability to go wireless or tethered via the USB-C cord that also charges. If the keyboard has longevity which I think it will, its a no brainer great deal at a much better price than Apple's equivalent.

Better than Apple with more features!
After owning this keyboard for over 18 months I can honestly say this is one of my favorite accessories I’ve purchased for my office. This keyboard looks great, feels great, a really quality built product. The keys don’t get shiny or worn down, and the backlight is my favorite! the battery lasts FOREVER, I’ve only charged this keyboard 3 times since I’ve gotten it! And being able to have 4 different devices saved on Bluetooth is very nice. I’d choose this over the Apple equivalent any day.

Connectivity is awful
So I dont usually write bad reviews but just had to on this keyboard. The keyboard is a nice looking keyboard, it is built well, not a cheap plastic one, but thats where the niceties end. The power management is not controllable so the keyboard constantly goes to sleep quickly, as soon as it goes to sleep it seems to lose connection with the computer (2020 Macbook Pro 16"). Every time I start typing the first few letters are missing while the keyboard wakes up, a real pain in the rear-end. I have even tried using it as a wired keyboard but when it goes into power save mode, there is a hesitation to get the keys working. Not good for someone like myself who works at their computer 12 hours a day. Wish I could get my money back but that's not going to happen. I really like the build on this keyboard but cant make it work. I have tried for 6 months, hoping something would change. My fault for waiting so long but will not be purchasing anymore Satechi products.

Finally a worthy replacement for the Apple A1243
As a long-time fan of the now defunct Apple A1243 wired keyboard, I have been disappointed with the latest iterations of the Apple Magic Keyboards. The minuscule key travel provided by the new scissor-switch keys has long left me disappointed. Finally, Satechi comes along incorporates the all-important missing tactile elements of the original A1243 and includes functionality such as backlighting and multiple device compatibility. Then on top of that, they have the nerve to offer all this for about $100 less than Apple. This is a TKO. The keys provide just enough extra travel and tactile feedback that makes for that satisfying typing experience I have long missed. Not to mention the backlight has 9 levels of brightness. I just leave the keyboard plugged in so I don’t have to worry about the battery drain. As someone who interacts with a keyboard for a living, these are tools not to skimp on. Ergonomics plays an important factor in my day-to-day life, and this is a great addition. Satechi hit one out of the park here. Pros: ☺ Tactile feedback ☺ Backlighting ☺ 4 Bluetooth devices paired ☺ Premium aluminum finish ☺ Value compared to the competition Cons: ☹ The provided attachable “adjustable height” feet seem sort of like a bit of an afterthought. Granted this is still better than Apple not providing anything at all. The A1243 had the two USB ports incorporated which provided some lift. Overall: If you are looking for a keyboard with excellent feedback for a scissor switch, a plethora of options, and premium aesthetics this is an excellent choice. I have little negative to say about it... Highly Recommend

Excellent, not quite as good as the genuine Apple version, but far lower price
This Satechi BT keyboard is pretty much identical in size, shape and material as the Apple Magic Keyboard, but not quite as nice or finished as well, but hey I do like the much lower price. The bluetooth connection is good and persistent, but not always as 'instant on' as the Apple version when you wake your MacBook up.

Çok iyi
Kullanımı çok güzel. Apple klavyesine benziyor ama deneyim açısından dağlar kadar fark var. Tuşların geri bildirimi çok daha iyi. Tuşalar büyük ve yazmayı kolaylaştırıyor. US klavye ama yazlım işi için çok ideal.
