## Description

Review: An excellent keyboard - This is a very high quality, great keyboard. Having tried both the X3 and the W3, I would say that this (the X3 bluetooth version) is slightly better the W3 (the wired-only version) in a couple of ways, but also worse in one way which may matter to you. In terms of ways in which the X3 is better, firstly the W3 has only 3 brightness levels where the X3 has 10. (Although in fairness the 3 levels on the W3 are still well chosen, and the darkest not too bright.) Secondly (and slightly weirdly), on the W3 then £ and # symbols are printed the wrong way round on the 3 key. Since this is basically a US layout keyboard, the # symbol should be printed at the top of the key, not to the side, corresponding to the symbol accessed when pressing shift, as is done on all the other numeric keys on the W3, and indeed as is done on this keyboard, the X3, which has the same layout!) Related to this, I slightly prefer this keyboard, the X3's, key labelling over the W3, as on the X3 they don't include the ALT (€ and £) symbols on the 2 and 3 keys at all; I prefer this as omitting these symbols makes the keyboard look just a little neater and less cluttered. The one major downside to the X3, if you're the kind of person who regularly uses Del/F2/F12 to break into the BIOS menu, is that the X3, *even when used in wired mode* cannot consistently do this, and (not always, but often, half the time or more) causes the BIOS to report that there is no keyboard attached. (The W3, as would be expected of a natively wired-mode keyboard, has not such problems.) To point out one more (minor) imperfection shared by the X3 and the W3, the lighting on these keyboards is just not quite as beautiful as the lighting on a real Mac laptop keyboard - specifically, there are small overly bright spots here and there around the keys, where the light shows through too much, rather then the really uniform lighting around the keys on real Mac laptop keyboards. Nevertheless in build quality, in looks, and even in the above-mentioned quality of the lighting, this and the W3 are _way_ better than any of the (several) other illuminated external keyboards for the Mac which I have tried recently.
Review: Apple quality but with more functionality - I bought this keyboard as the one that comes with the iMac doesn't have a numeric keypad. I also really liked the backlit keys and the ability to par it with up to 4 bluetooth devices. Currently I have it on my home office desk with key 1 mapped to my iMac and Key 2 mapped to my Windows 10 works computer. I am able to switch instantly between them with no delay whatsoever. The build quality is really surprising. As it has no logo on the top you would just assume you are looking at an Apple keyboard which I really like. Typing is smooth and they keys have nice travel distance and feedback. Connection seems to be very stable. With my previous Apple keyboard I would sometimes get lag where the letters would appear on the screen a while after I typed them. Only a reboot would resolve. That hasn't happened yet with this one but its early days yet. The only downside is that it has a US layout meaning that there is no key with the £ symbol on it. For anyone wondering its Alt + 3 (they key with a hashtag on it). All in all its really good and a big step up from what Apple provides. Oh and if you went for the Apple Keyboard with numeric keypad its about £140 with no backlit keys and no ability to switch between bluetooth devices. Get this one!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is the slim x2 available in uk layout? i only see uk verisons of the x1 and x3.**
A: Dear Customer,
thanks for your message.
Sorry we do not have the UK layout for the Slim X2.
Thanks,
Satechi

thanks for your question.
Yes, it is compatible.
Thank you,

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Refurbished.
*by D***E on 9 July 2023*

Was advertised as in new condition, looked good and worked as you would hope, but, seller missed the fact that the power on/off switch had been broken, maybe the reason for a previous return . A good keyboard, would have kept it but for the small item.
