Same here. Loving my Slim. Looks amazing; almost as if Apple made it (the only giveaway would be the bluetooth symbols on the 3 number keys used for switching devices.
Oh! Does it have that nifty "disconnect from bluetooth" button conveniently located at the top of the numeric keypad like the last piece of garbage they sold me? Never again. WTF, Satechi.
Staples has a coupon every other week and the MX keys is $80 after cpn.
Yes, it works. I have used mine in my office which is similarly restrictive. You do lose the ability to customize the keyboard functions through Logitech’s software, but the basic key mappings are fine.
I keep reading anecdotes like this, and it gets me worried about the day I buy a mini (which should be soon). I have used the wireless Apple keyboards for over a decade on my various iMacs, and they've been rock solid every time. I don't even think about it. Is there some kind of strange difference between iMacs and the Mac Mini when it comes to bluetooth peripherals, or is it just the non-OEM boards, or are you an outlier? Maybe the Mac's keyboards are just better for bluetooth. Heck, I use an old mac bluetooth keyboard with my work PC and it never fails. I want to know if I'm normal or just immensely lucky.
Yep. I had one of these and returned it within 2 days.
I have had an M1 Mac mini since last November (I think), and I had Bluetooth issues at first, but those seem to be resolved. I’ve always used an Apple Magic Keyboard and trackpad and also use a MX Anywhere mouse (with the Unifying receiver), and they’ve all been rock-solid since probably January or February. If you’re thinking about an M1 mini, I recommend going for it unless you can wait for the M1X (or whatever they’re going to call it) version that is rumored to be announced soon. I replaced a maxed-out single core 2009cMP that gave up the ghost with the M1 mini, and I have been truly delighted.
Weird! Still under warranty? I have an M1 iMac and the bluetooth connection to the keyboard is rock solid.
Same here, but the windows version. Been using it for years with no issue. Even used it in the basement for a few years where it didn’t get much direct sunlight, if any, and it always stayed charged. Great keyboard.
Good to hear. I have been a staunch user of iMacs since about 2008, when I replied my MacBook with one (didn't need the portability) and it's been terrific. But I don't really like the new iMacs all that much, somehow, and given the guts are the same, I thought maybe it was time to give the Mini a whirl. Glad to hear you've had a good experience with it. I was waiting on the M1X version, as my trusty 2014 5K iMac is still chugging along. I may wait to see the new supposed 'pro' iMac rumoured for next year, but to be honest I can't think of a thing I do that wouldn't be served by today's Mini. For me it'd just be having the fully integrated machine which looks a lot cleaner on a desk with a lot less effort.
You can find the X1 on bol.com for about 80 euro's.
Apple doesn’t last more than 2 months. 30 days is maximum. At least the one with TouchID.
