That’s not to say that the key response on the Slim X1 is bad, but I personally prefer the tack-sharp feedback of the keys on the Magic Keyboard.
Unlike the pithy response that you feel on your fingertips when typing on the Magic Keyboard, the Slim X1 feels noticeably softer and forgiving in nature. The biggest difference between the Magic Keyboard and the Slim X1, and perhaps the one that could be a difference-maker for some users, is the way the keys feel when pressed. Using the Slim X1 made me appreciate the relatively low maintenance white keycaps found on Apple’s Magic Keyboard. The Slim X1 is also a hair wider than the Magic Keyboard, with slightly larger bezels.Īlthough I like the look of the space gray anodized aluminum paired with the black keycaps, I quickly remembered how much black keys show fingerprints, grease, and dust. For example, the function keys at the top of the unit are smaller to accommodate slightly larger primary keys than you’ll find on the Magic Keyboard. That being said, the Satechi Slim X1 is not a 1:1 Magic Keyboard clone. However, because the Slim X1 feels similar to Apple’s Magic Keyboard, it didn’t take long before typing on it felt natural.
