For friends who are accustomed to the Mac system, every small upgrade can make our wallets slim down quickly. For example, the 8GB memory made of gold, or the 256GB SSD made of silver, and its other peripherals are not cheap, and a keyboard can be sold for almost 900 yuan. The keyboard I shared with my friends today is the SLIM X3 from SATECHI. It can be regarded as one of the best replacements for the Magic Keyboard in terms of design and feel!
SATECHI is no stranger to us. Its tablet stand and expansion dock have left a deep impression on us. Its meticulous workmanship, solid materials, long-term durability, design-like appearance and official cooperation with Apple The endorsement of the brand is also one of the main reasons why we prefer it.
This is an aluminum alloy keyboard with a slim design. From the design language point of view, it matches Apple's extremely simple tonality very well. When placed together with the Apple notebook, there is no sense of disobedience.
Because it is specially built for Apple (taking into account Win and other systems), its keycaps also come with more Apple-specific features, such as its series of multi-function keys.
Another example is its alt/opt and Cmd.
These keys are perfectly adapted to the Mac system, and there is no difference in the feeling of using the original keyboard.
It supports Bluetooth connection of up to 4 devices and wired connection with PC or Mac, and it is also convenient for friends to quickly switch and use among the four devices.
Compared with other keyboards, each keycap of SATECHI SLIM X3 is flatter, making each of our strokes more stable and comfortable. Although it is a membrane keyboard, it still provides us with excellent tapping feedback. Whether we press it or the rebound of the button, there seems to be a sense of paragraph.
SATECHI SLIM X3 supports 10-level adjustable backlight design, and friends can independently adjust the brightness of the backlight they like according to their own use environment. Can Windows system be used? The answer is yes, and some function keys can also be perfectly adapted. However, the fly in the ointment is that because it is mainly used for Mac, there is no Win key marked, and its position is slightly different from our commonly used keyboards.
The package with a white bottom, the body of the SATECHI SLIM X3 keyboard is in the middle, the SATECHI logo is on the upper left, and the specific model of the keyboard and the words that are compatible with Mac are on the lower left.
Its back shows the usage scene of the keyboard and five features including support for up to 4 Bluetooth devices, backlight, wired connection, and aluminum keyboard.
Pulling out the cover, we can see the kraft paper packaging, with the words SLIM X3 and SATECHI in the middle.
Open it, we can see the keyboard body,
There is a small box of the same color under it, which contains data cables, instructions and two sticky feet.
The keyboard is a little heavy in the hand, but not very heavy, it is about 434 grams.
Delicacy is the deepest impression it left on us. There is not too much decoration on the front, but every fine button and frosted aluminum alloy convey a good texture.
On the top of the keyboard, TYPE-C, power switch and a small plastic window (should be used to transmit Bluetooth signals) are concentrated,
It has six non-slip pads evenly distributed on the back, with SATECHI and related certification information in the middle.
Although it is a membrane keyboard, it is no less than the original keyboard in terms of appearance and feel. At the same time, it supports the attribute of multi-device connection, which also greatly facilitates our current habit of cross-platform use! During the two weeks of use, we were deeply impressed by its quick tapping feedback and its lack of meat! If you have a Mac mini or a Macbook and want to add a full keyboard, it is also a good choice!
