Q: Can this be used wired as well? Since the battery inside is not user replaceable, do you just throw away the whole keyboard, or is it dual power?

I don't know why the other user gave you incorrect information. The keyboard 100% has wired mode. Plug a USB-C cord into your computer and the keyboard, then press "FN + Eject Key" on the keyboard (Eject Key is to right of F12). Bluetooth will turn off, the keyboard will be charging, and it will still work with your computer.

Q: What is the battery life if you have backlight off?

Thank you for choosing Satechi and for reaching out to us. We first recommend charging the keyboard for at least 2-3 hours with the included charging cable with a power adapter for a more efficient charge. (18W and up) If you are using the backlight all the time at the highest brightness, it can drain the battery quite fast, but it does have a standby shut-off mode, that kicks in after 30min of non-usage. You can change the settings so it does not completely shut off. With no backlight on, the battery is about 60hrs. If you would like to use the backlight and not worry about the battery, you can also use the keyboard in wired mode. While using one of the two cables included, you can use the key combination (fn+usb/eject) to turn off the Bluetooth and use it in wired-only mode. A green light will stay lit on the top right when in this mode

Q: Will this keyboard work ok with a pc and android device as well? i would assume so....

Q: Is this backwards compatible with bluetooth 2.1? i cant get it to connect to my macbook (late 2008) eventhough my os is up to date...

Amazing keyboard love it - bought 2 of them!

I have bought bad keyboard before - this one is very sleek, elegant, and everything works well. The charge life is amazing. It is fully bluetooth always connects fine and is perfect. I live at 2 diff homes so I bought 2 of these and put them in each. Both working perfectly :)

Perfect for Work From Home setup

I have been looking for a keyboard that is slim and premium that can be used between several devices. This is just perfect for me. Been scouring keyboard after keyboard for months until I found this at only 99 AED, a steal in my opinion. Even it's bigger sibling the satechi x3 priced at 330AED, this is just 1/3 of the price for 90 percent functionality. The only caveat I have is the missing [del] button apart from the backspace. But the numpad is a life-saver as I deal with several excel files. Bought a logitech craft which is 5x the price of this one and returned it - Best decision ever. But it once it's available as it quickly runs out of stock.

Would not connect to any device UPDATE

The first unit I bought did not connect to any device hence I put 1 star.However, I ordered a new one and this one is working as expected. It did connect on the first attempt to my two main devices (on macOS). It is working quite nicely.

Keys are not responsive for the price

This is one not the one if you are MAC user and used to soft touch of MAC keys. It also skips the letters and make to very very prone to incorrect spellings and need to fix the words again and again. You really need to punch hard of each key. Generates lot of sound. Not worth.

Average

I wanted a keyboard that matches my macbook M3. The S key wasn’t working well, you need to press it exactly at the center for it to register. Overall keyboard is okay, you need to press harder compared to macbook or the magic keyboard from apple. It is not compared at all with the responsiveness of apple keyboards. Overall decent, but not a high end quality.
