Apple Wireless Keyboard Bluetooth Range

[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.

[Yes, on Cable] This is the wireless keyboard that Apple should have made. This keyboard by Matais is exceptionally well made and works GREAT; I LOVE IT !

[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!

[3] I can't believe it too me this long to realize I've been handicapped by the Apple bluetooth keyboard all these years. The Daskeyboard too about four minutes to get used to before I started writing with greater efficiency than I imagined possible. I'm impressed with the materials, the build and the promise, delivered. The cost is well worth it.

[Scissor] I wanted a wireless key board with the numeric keypad...I do a lot of date entry. Chose the Apple product over others because of past experience with Apple products. Also looked at other manufacturers and customer comments...this clinched my decision to buy the Apple product. It is a great keyboard and meets all of my expectations. One thing to note, previous Apple keyboards have tabs underneath that allows you to tilt the front of the keyboard up...this keyboard does not have that feature. I put a small piece of wood under the key board to tilt mine up.

[Black] When combined with the widi bud usb dongle you have a truly wireless Bluetooth midi keyboard that is slim and works with negligible latency which is great for portable musicians and producers.

[550 mAh ] Finally the keyboard Apple wouldn't make. A wireless keyboard with numeric keypad. Works great you can pair it with up to 4 devices, e.g. iPhone, mac, macbook, and iPad. Great design it is metal so has nice weight. All keys work the same as the Apple wired full-size keyboard with numeric keypad. Greatest thing about it is the battery which is rechargeable last for 1 year between charges even if you leave it on all the time....Fabulous

[3 Hours] This is the keyboard Apple should have made. Their keyboard features similar key strokes, but is only available without a number keypad for $99. If you want this type of keyboard with a number keypad, it is only available as a WIRED keyboard. But Apple's only wireless keyboard comes without a number keypad. Other features put the Apple keyboard to shame. You can connect up to 4 devices for starters. It takes 5 hours to charge that should last a full year. Apple's comes with replacement batteries. Pricing is the same for both wireless keyboards. If you want a fully-featured keyboard, you can't do better than this Matias keyboard.

[Silicone] VERY happy to have a full wireless keyboard made by Apple. Didn't know how much I missed those numeric keys.
