Review: An excellent keyboard - This is a very high quality, great keyboard. Having tried both the X3 and the W3, I would say this (the W3) is just slightly worse than the X3 (the bluetooth version) in a couple of ways, but is definitely better in one way. In terms of ways in which the W3 is (slightly) worse, firstly the W3 has only 3 brightness levels where the X3 has 10. (However, they 3 levels are still well chosen, and the darkest is not too bright.) Secondly (and slightly weirdly), on the W3 then £ and # symbols are printed the wrong way round on the 3 key. (Since this is basically a US layout keyboard, the # symbol should be printed at the top of the key, not to the side, corresponding to the symbol accessed when pressing shift, as is done on all the other numeric keys on this keyboard, and indeed as is done on the 3 key on the X3, which has the same layout!) Related to this, I (again, only slightly) prefer the X3's key labelling, where they just haven't bothering to include the ALT (€ and £) symbols on the 2 and 3 keys at all, I prefer this as it makes the keyboard look slightly neater and less cluttered. Nevertheless, if you're only going to use the keyboard wired, I'd still get this one, even though the X3 can be used in wired mode. In particular, and one key reason why the W3 is better, if you're the kind of person who regularly uses Del/F2/F12 to break into the BIOS menu, then definitely get this wired model, the W3, as *even when used wired* the X3 cannot consistently do this, and (not always, but often, half the time or more) causes the BIOS to report that there is no keyboard attached. To point out another (very minor) imperfection shared by the X3 and the W3, the lighting on these keyboards is just not quite as beautiful as the lighting on a real Mac laptop keyboard - specifically, there are small overly bright spots here and there around the keys, where the light shows through too much, rather then the really uniform lighting around the keys on real Mac laptop keyboards. Nevertheless in build quality, in looks, and even in the above-mentioned quality of the lighting, this and the X3 are _way_ better than any of the (several) other illuminated external keyboards for the Mac which I have tried recently. Finally, the X3 booklet documents this, but the W3 booklet does not: fn+ESC is the way to swap the default behaviour of the function keys, between multimedia key or function key behaviour. The same key combo works on both keyboards.
Review: Nice slim keyboard - This is a very nice keyboard, the feedback is pleasant (something that is very important to me!) and the build quality is good! There are only two minor gripes; the first is that the F1-12 keys require the function key to be held down to use them - which is bizarre to me and secondly, the FN key is in the corner instead of control which is a real pain when gaming which is oddly common for some reason.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Its still a thing of beauty even if its got a wire
*by M***D on 13 February 2023*

Have an employer that uses overkill not to allow bluetooth connection to their laptop? Thinking of going the RF usb dongle route but cant find a decent quality keyboard ( Logitech MX will not work with their dongle as it requires to install drivers and your work laptop wont allow this). This wired keyboard is the way to go and I have zero learning curve as I have a wireless one for personal pC and this wired one for work and its got the same beauty and ease of use. Namely-- - its simply beautiful -The back lighting is great in 4 brightness's ( your apple thingy keyboard doesnt have that) and being wired its always charged - Yes it is solid aluminum casing -The keys are a pleasure to use ( as good as apples) and much better than the Logitech MX keyboard with the horrid rounded indents. This could be priced at £99 like my Logitech Master MX3s and Id still buy it. Its gorgeous and its a joy to use every day
