Satechi Slim W1 Reviews
Works great; Like all keyboards, takes some getting used to
My wireless keyboard's battery died and I am so tired of replacing batteries, I wanted a new one. I needed a mini keyboard for my desk setup. This keyboard's backlight is nice if only to show that your computer knows you're there. There is apparently no actual standard for the order of the fn/ctrl/alt/opt/super keys so I had to get used to ctrl NOT being on the very end :( Keyboard pitch is always different too, so my hands take some time getting used to the spacing. I intentionally go for the quiet, gentle touch membrane keyboards and this one is great for that. It takes very little effort to press a key and my typing came back up to speed very quickly. It's a nice little keyboard and I'm hoping for many years of use from it.
Solved my M1 Apple bluetooth issues
I've used this for just 2 weeks, but it's the perfect replacement for my Apple wireless keyboard. It's virtually identical except it lies flatter on my desk since it obviously doesn't have the battery compartment (they did include optional sticky rubber pads to tilt the keyboard forward). I replaced my old wireless keyboard since I bought the new 2020 M1 Mac Mini and immediately had the bluetooth issues others have complained about. Weirdly enough, I could solve my keyboard issue by turning my Apple mouse off and on, but it got annoying. Right now, this wired keyboard is perfect, buttons all work as they should, choices of backlighting or not, controls sound levels as well as all the other functions I'm accustomed to using. Plus, no cost of feeding AA batteries to the wireless. Time will tell, but right now, I am satisfied, even if Apple finally does resolve their bluetooth issue.
