The Apple Magic Keyboard is a wireless and incredible keyboard Apple released to complement its Mac line. Moreover, it can be connected to Apple TV, iPad, and iPhone as well. It took over the world in 2015, and later upgraded itself for seamless experiences. Even though the product served as an excellent wireless keyboard for Mac users, it did lay down a few limitations. The absence of traditional functional shortcut and escape keys and the skyrocketing costs were the major disadvantages.
Satechi therefore released its Slim X3 keyboard for Macbook, iMac, Mac Mini, Mac Studio, iPhone or any iPad released in or after 2012. It covers the flaws of the Apple Magic Keyboard and gives users a simpler and easier experience.
WHAT IS THE DESIGN OF SATECHI SLIM X3?
Satechi is a US-based electronic brand that offers creative tech products and accessories. When it came to the Apple Magic Keyboard, Satechi understood that the major issue wasn’t the design. Rather, the concern lay with the functions provided. Hence the Macbook keyboard was given a fresh and practical upgrade.
The Slim X3 has a sleek silver aluminum body and plastic keys. It is 16.65 inches long, almost as long as the Apple Magic Keyboard.
HOW IS SLIM X3 A BETTER ALTERNATIVE TO APPLE MAGIC KEYBOARD?
Its secret lies in the effortless change of features. Slim X3 gives users exactly what they want in an Apple Magic Keyboard. And here’s how:
EFFORTLESS USABILITY:
Satechi included function keys. Hence, for writers who are primarily dependent on keyboards, this one is perfect as a Macbook keyboard. The Slim X3 also gave Apple what it surprisingly missed- backlit keys. Along with this, the backlit keys brightness can be adjusted as required.
POWERFUL BLUETOOTH CONNECTION:
This wireless keyboard for Mac can connect up to 4 devices at once. Its powerful Bluetooth feature also helps switch between devices.
DECENT BATTERY LIFE:
Satechi replaced Apple’s TouchID keyboard with a USB-C charging port. Hence, it can be charged easily with your iPad charger. It provides an impressive battery life of 144 hours, if used at the lowest backlight settings. As per Satechi, the keyboard takes two to three hours to fully charge if the battery is completely drained.
A FAIR PRICE:
A huge concern with Apple Magic Keyboard was its jaw-dropping price tag. By releasing this model, Satechi provided a cheaper wireless keyboard for Mac. Users got a budget-friendly option at a great convenience. There are Slim X1 and X2 available as well but they are shorter in length. Hence, if you are looking for a compact solution, they are a better option.
Satechi’s Slim X3 Wireless Keyboard stands out as a smart alternative to Apple’s Magic Keyboard. It surely builds a strong rapport and ease of use among Apple’s customers.
