Just FYI, I recently got a "Logitech MX Keys Mini For Mac" for use with a MacBook Air M3 in closed mode. Really like the keyboard - backlit, very good key feel, weighted by battery along top and made of metal, so it doesn't slide around, etc, etc.

I placed an order for that model yesterday from Logitech, and received a free pouch!
my Satechi failed big time after almost 2 years of reliable service.
I guess they are suck?

Not backlit, but I still use it for one reason: Touch ID. The convenience of that trumps backlit, to me.

(That assumes Apple Silicon, of course - Touch ID won't work with Intel)
