I know right! sorry about that, I think nothing has come very close to the original apple magic keyboard, satechi tried but I guess they missed a piece from the original puzzle.
Hello. Can you tell me if the dimensions of the keyboard are 1-in-1 like Apple's? I want to buy also the original trackpad and the plastic accessory that connects them into one device, but it is designed to fit the original Apple keyboard. If the dimensions are identical, I would prefer to get the Satechi.
Thanks for the review and it helps people to make their purchase decisions. Is there a noticeable difference in terms of sizes? I have the grove made keyboard tray for pre 2021 keyboard. I was thinking of purchasing this keyboard hope it fits.
The funny thing is, the Huawei Ultrathin Keyboard (that looks a LOT like the Satechi Slim X1) also has this problem but ONLY when plugged in via USB-C and ONLY when when connected to a Mac.
@@HakimZziwaTips Could it be the text editor software the problem?, some prediction on the words? Did you try it with another computer? I'm typing right now with it. So far no problems. It's a big flaw, I expect not to have it in mine.
Oh man, I just bought it. It should arrive by tomorrow. I'll be testing that flaw you mentioned. Did this problem happens while in Bluetooth and Wired? O just Bluetooth?
I had no problems typing. I'll mention few things anyway. I use it mostly wired and for that you have to switch it on, yeah I swear 🙃. The problem was that the on/off switch is so cheap and fragile it breaks, so I had to literally peal the aluminum to fix the F switch. Other thing, it is made with Apple in mind, so for Linux (my case) keys are fckup but usable. I'll give it 8/10. Anyway, I moved to the Dell KM7120W @@olumidearaba2574
Apparently, I tried 2 copies of the Satechi and it was the same thing at that time at the same time any apple magic keyboard was working fine, so......
Sorry to hear that, feel free to return asap, I did return 2 units and gave up, it is a hit or miss, some people have had good experiences though, getting good units and I am not one of those.
I encountered the same problems and if I had seen it earlier I would have saved that money!

This looks like a cool keyboard. Think I'll get one of them.
Thanks for the follow up, added negatives. Helped me.
Yep! Anytime, thanks for watching.
I just bought a USB-C patch cable from these guys. Amazing how this video came up after I bought the cable.
Cheers!
Your phone been listening to you lol 🤣

Dimensions vertically & horizontally are the same, just not sure about that track pad part.

Nope, no difference in size.
Nice thank you!

Wow, great to know. Maybe they use the same tech to manufacture.
To clarify, does it only happen if it is connected to a Mac through USB-C?
Or it happens to Bluetooth connectected to Mac also?
Mine has no problem And it is flawless in typing , Obviously the specific piece you bought has a problem
It was two of them that had same issue and both from B&H, I returned each of them, was probably unlucky I guess.
Thanks you for watching

Only while in bluetooth, you could be lucky with a good copy.
Update ??

5:30 I dare to say thats an OS bug, my mb air used to do that a lot. they fixed it a while back.

Indeed. Same here.
Man.. I wish I found this review much earlier.. I bought satechi and now regretting it because of typing experience.
Sorry to hear that, I returned 2 of them and I am assuming it is not too late to return.
Apple keyboard 2 has no way to check battery levels on iPads or on keyboard. I search for a work around and apparently no one else has
There you go, forgot to mention that too, it looks good but some things are missing, I would wait for version 2 of this same thing.
Will this work on 2015 retina 5k?
It should, been told more legit copies with no issues are being sold as we speak, at that time, I was unlucky to get the bad apples.
The numbers from 1 to 0 stop working. It's so strange. Just those keys.. :(

Thanks: It is faulty... Exchange it?
Just return, i exchanged twice 🙃
