Satechi is rolling out a trio of accessories designed for people who hop between devices and want gear that holds up over time. The Slim EX lineup includes two wireless keyboards and a matching mouse that work across macOS, Windows, Linux, iPadOS, and of course iPhone when paired with Apple gear.
I spend most days bouncing between a Linux laptop, an iPhone, and a Mac, so a reliable keyboard that jumps between systems without frustration is a welcome idea. Satechi seems to understand that most of us are done juggling multiple keyboards or dealing with weird shortcut differences.

The smartest design choice here is almost old-fashioned. These keyboards and mouse run on rechargeable batteries you can replace. When the battery wears down, you do not throw the accessory away. You swap the battery and keep moving. More companies should do this, but for now Satechi stands out.
The keyboards come in two flavors. The Slim EX3 is the full-size model with a number pad and extra keys for folks who live in spreadsheets or manage budgets. The frame is metal, giving it a sturdier feel for everyday typing.
The Slim EX1 is the compact option built for tighter desks, backpacks, tiny apartments, or anyone who prefers a cleaner workspace. Both have quiet scissor switches and automatically adjust shortcut behavior depending on whether you are on a Mac or Windows. Satechi says you can expect up to five weeks on a charge, depending on how much you type.
The Slim EX Wireless Mouse completes the set. It is low profile, made of aluminum, and pairs over Bluetooth or 2.4GHz. Quiet click switches and a metal scroll wheel help it feel more premium than its price suggests. And yes, the battery in the mouse can be replaced too, which makes it one of the few modern mice that is not basically disposable.
Everything comes in Space Black or Silver so it blends in with most gear. For people who want both keyboard and mouse together under one dongle, bundle packs will offer simplified setup once they arrive later this quarter.
Pricing is very approachable. The Slim EX3 is $69.99, the Slim EX1 is $49.99, and the Slim EX Mouse is $29.99. You can buy them from Satechi.net right now. Be sure to use promo code CES2026 and get 20 percent off.
