For this week’s giveaway, we’ve teamed up with Satechi to offer MacRumors readers a chance to win one of Satechi’s newly released Compact Backlit Bluetooth Keyboards for use with Apple’s iPhones, iPads, and Macs.

Priced at $80, Satechi's Compact Backlit Bluetooth Keyboard is a full-sized keyboard with backlit keys that have 10 levels of brightness and an included number pad on the right. It has attractive square keys with rounded edges, and the same satisfying typing experience offered by other Satechi keyboards.

The Compact Bluetooth Keyboard is made from a space gray aluminum that’s designed to match Apple’s devices with keys that are a matching shade of black. The keyboard connects to an Apple device using Bluetooth 5.0, and can be recharged using a built-in USB-C port.

The keyboard is designed to last for up to 600 hours before needing to be recharged, though that will vary based on the backlighting level.

Up to three Bluetooth devices can be connected to the keyboard at one time, with swapping between each device possible through the press of button. So you can connect the keyboard to a Mac and an iPad, for example, and swap connections quickly.

I thought Satechi was a good brand until I bought some of their stuff on Black Friday and realising it's really cheap and not well made, one charger was even dead on arrival.
After researching them I found out that their chargers for example are just generic Tommox ones, that you can buy from Aiiexpress here ('https://tommox.en.alibaba.com/?spm=a2700.details.cordpanyb.4.55491561viy6IO') and their wireless chargers and dongles are made by Gopod that can be bought for a fraction of the Satechi price.
I feel like this is the modern day MacMice fiasco (if anyone old enough remembers that), where it's all smoke and mirrors and the products are awful.

Cheap plastic Chinese crap, plus there was no 2018 iMac. It was 2017 and then 2019.
Make one without the number pad.
Apple really should make a space gray wireless keyboard and add backlight.

The Bluetooth on this keyboard is somewhere between unreliable to terrible. It will constantly disconnect and takes 2-3 key strokes before reconnecting. Returned it for another and it had the same issues.

It had good reviews on Amazon, but the seller offered a $20 gift card for a 5-star review, so assuming those good reviews are fake.

Looks good but it would be even better if it had the MacBook Pro Touch Bar.

FWIW I have the wired version of this keyboard and LOVE it. Never any problems.
