Questions about Satechi Slim X3

The signal can be transmitted both wirelessly via Bluetooth and wired via USB-C. The cable is mainly used for charging, but can also be used for a wired connection by connecting the keyboard to your computer with a USB-C cable.

The keyboard is generally compatible with Windows 11, but the connection via Bluetooth is somewhat more complicated with Windows than with Apple devices. To pair with Windows 10 or 11, the keyboard must be added via the Control Panel under "Devices and Printers", not via the Bluetooth settings. A special pairing code must be entered, which is confirmed on the keyboard. If the keyboard is not recognised after these steps, the Windows device does not support the connection. The keyboard was primarily developed for macOS and iOS, which is why the function keys and layout are optimised for Apple devices. Nevertheless, it also works as an input device with Windows PCs if the Bluetooth pairing is carried out correctly. To summarise: The keyboard is not fundamentally incompatible with Windows 11, but the connection requires manual steps via the control panel and some functions are tailored to Apple systems.
