Apple Bluetooth Adapter

[USB-A (2.0)] I have an iMac from late 2009 and by bluetooth was not totally compatible with the Magic Track Pad 2. Before ordering the trackpad I researched on the internet, spoke to people at Apple and B&H. What I got was varying opinions. What I concluded was that I should spend the extra money. When they arrived I paired by trackpad to my iMac without the adapter. It worked initially. But when the iMac went to sleep, the pairing was lost. I hooked up the adapter and since then the trackpad and iMac are happily paired. One last comment. Since I bought from B&H and live out of New York State, there was no sales tax. That combined with the lower price for the trackpad at B&H, I saved money versus driving to the closet Apple Store. Thank you B&H!

[0.18 lb] I didn't like the Apple bluetooth mouse so I bought this one and it works just fine.

Worked perfectly from the get-go and was way less than the Apple version of this adapter.

[Intel HD] Worked perfectly from the get-go and was way less than the Apple version of this adapter.

[1 User] The product is great but please note in order for the adapters to work, they must be hooked to the Apple 12W USB Power Adapter (i.e., iPads &/or similar for laptops). Choose a plug from the World Travel Adapter Kit. The International plug goes into the foreign wall but you will see it has no connecting area for the US end. Take the 12W Apple USB adapter and pull it apart at the corner. You will find a hidden area that now allows you to slid your International plug adapters backside into the 12W USB adapter. Thus creating a male/female electrical connecting area. Took 2 hours on the phone with Apple for them to find this answer as it is not in the booklet nor on any web page. Apple called a local store to finally get the answer.

[Mac] If you're debating this keyboard, I recommend it. Here are some minor benefits I've enjoyed: - Backlit keys when color grading in a dark room - Sturdy and doesn't slide on the desk - Bluetooth and wired work seamlessly The surprise benefit is that this keyboard works in Bluetooth mode to enter my password after a complete shutdown and power-up. None of the other non-Apple Bluetooth keyboards I own will do this. They work after a RESTART but not on POWER-UP. I was very impressed that they got this right. NOTE: The following was true when I wrote this review on September 5, 2024. This might sound very nitpicky, but the insert card that came with a keyboard directed me to the following website: Logickeyboard.com/shortcut There is no guide for FCPX. I emailed to inquire about this and was sent a link to the Apple website containing the 900+ page user manual. The shortcut guide is more of a nice to have, but I thought I would call it out anyway.

[iOS, Mac] Other than not having the touch ID function that Apple's Bluetooth keyboard offers, Satechi does an immaculate job. Even Apple's magic keyboard doesnt have backlit keys, like this one! It's recommend it in a heartbeat over the other one. Well built!

[Membrane] I've used this for just 2 weeks, but it's the perfect replacement for my Apple wireless keyboard. It's virtually identical except it lies flatter on my desk since it obviously doesn't have the battery compartment (they did include optional sticky rubber pads to tilt the keyboard forward). I replaced my old wireless keyboard since I bought the new 2020 M1 Mac Mini and immediately had the bluetooth issues others have complained about. Weirdly enough, I could solve my keyboard issue by turning my Apple mouse off and on, but it got annoying. Right now, this wired keyboard is perfect, buttons all work as they should, choices of backlighting or not, controls sound levels as well as all the other functions I'm accustomed to using. Plus, no cost of feeding AA batteries to the wireless. Time will tell, but right now, I am satisfied, even if Apple finally does resolve their bluetooth issue.

[Glass] enables me to send my Apple Music from my phone to my older stereo receiver which is pre Bluetooth.

[Stereo] Great sound. Allows my wife and I to share videos on our iPad with Bluetooth Apple Sharing. Nice fit kit. I have to use the smallest earpieces and not all fit kits go down small. B&H is the best!
