Almost perfect mac replacement keyboard.

Keyboard is almost perfect as an Apple alternative. It covers the layout perfectly. Only downside is that it requires to lock the Fn key upon every restart. It should follow the "use fn keys as function keys" option in the mac os keyboard panel which works native Apple keyboards. Alternatively, if it had it's own startup Kext instead of having to manually reset this per startup it would be much better in an audio workstation with ProTools or any DAW using specific mac key commands that require the function keys. If it wasn't for the great backlighting I wouldn't be using it, but I guess it's a necessary trade-off for working at night.
I would recommend this to a friend!

So far works as expected.

Like a few others have mentioned, the light leaks out the edges of keys more than the character on the button. The keyboard itself feels very Mac like. I think a slight tweak on the button design could fix the light problem, but it doesn't bother me much. It took a couple days to get used to.

Very Dissappointed

Unless I missed it, the specs for this keyboard did not mention that the display brightness keys do not work on any external displays, the was the standard Apple keyboards so provide this function. Oh well. I found numerous other customers who discovered this after trying to find a solution. There is a page on Satechi's website that does disclose this, and it's possible I missed the disclosure on the main page. I'll just never use it. Don't have the time or desire to go through a convoluted return process, although Satechi would probably support me. Nothing else was wrong with the keyboard, and it appeared to be good quality.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
