The keyboard offers ten levels of brightness for use from dim lighting to complete darkness.

Satechi built in a battery good for up to 600 hours of use, depending on backlight level. Then it can be recharged through a USB-C port.

When they say “compact” they mean 14.5 inches by 4.7  in. by 0.4 in., and 0.88 lbs. So, smaller than a regular desktop keyboard but not truly portable.

Satechi Compact Backlit Bluetooth Keyboard has regular keys

Apple’s controversial butterfly MacBook keyboard made many people conscious of the mechanism used by their keyboard keys. This one uses traditional scissor switch keys.

And there’s a set of macOS function shortcuts that let users pause/play media, switch applications, adjust brightness and more with a press of a button.

The Compact Backlit Bluetooth Keyboard is available now for $79.99.
