Satechi X3 Slim Bluetooth Keyboard

|July 2022
An affordable Magic Keyboard replacement

Satechi's latest slim Bluetooth keyboard with numerical keypad costs quite a bit less than Apple's Magic Keyboard while on paper at least, having more features. Weighing just 0.97lb, it's well-built from aluminium and feels sturdy, shipping with a USB-C cable that can be used for charging and also, via a key combo, to put the keyboard into wired mode. Otherwise, it's Bluetooth that you use to connect and up to four separate devices are supported, with dedicated buttons at the top right to switch between Macs, iPads, and iPhones without having to re-pair each time.
