I'm not looking for a keyboard (quite happy with my old Magic keyboard + number pad) but I watched your review of the Satechi Slim X1 with great interest. Only 4 minutes in length but packed full of just the right subjective/objective information for a prospective buyer to make a purchasing decision. Too many TH-cam reviewers ramble on and on and leave the viewer no wiser. Well done, and keep the reviews coming!
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! I want to get this keyboard to use with an iPad, have you ever tried that? I'm wondering if language switching works with this keyboard (as on the magic keyboard with the globe key. Is it the FN key here?). And if it works, how does it behave - does it only affect the spell checking (which is what I want), or does it "remap" the whole layout so that something like the @ symbol could be somewhere else (which would be annoying). Would be amazing if you know something about that!
@tarasyeriomenko7717 tested it and apperently you can't switch languages with the fn key! You can use the keyboard with your iPad as far as I know, I just tested it :)

Life is best when you are satisfied with what you have.
Thank you for the kind words! :)
I love mine!
I guess this year apple should release something in dark grey with compact touchid
would be nice, but I would not bet on it :D
hello! thanks for review! does the fn button work to switch languages?
just received my satechi x1. fn doesn't switch languages
I am sorry my youtube app don’t always shows me every comment, just saw it :(
Big Thanks for sharing your experience! :)
You can program caps lock to be like a function button in iPad OS. That’s my workaround anyway.

I can’t tell you if this is the case, however just look up the dimensions online and check if they are the same. Should be possible to find. :)
Great review. Danke :)
