I've been looking forever for a backlit keyboard for my Mac mini in my recording studio, which is regularly dimly lit to maintain a more creative mood. However, that makes typing difficult. It baffles me that Apple has had backlit keyboards in their laptops for decades, but they can't put LEDs into their peripheries. I've tried a Logitech keyboard which is severely more expensive than Satechi, isn't as classy, and the backlight turns off after three seconds of not using it. What's the point of that? The Satechi stays on – after a while the LEDs go a bit dim, but the keys are still visible, which is the point of backlit keys, isn't it? I also like in particular the X2 because it has a numeric keypad which I use a lot, but not the extra keys on an 101/102 model such as INS/HOME/DEL etc. which I never use. That makes this keyboard almost as compact as the Magic Keyboard, with the added benefit of the numeric keys. I'm highly convinced that this will be my favorite keyboard for a long time. I'm glad I found this!
