Great alternative to Magic Keyboard with easy switching between 3 devices

This is a great keyboard. I use it on Apple products (Macbook Pro, MacBook Air, iPad and iPhone) and have had no problems connecting to any of the devices or switching between devices. I haven't had the keyboard long enough to appreciate the battery life, but I'll be back when I need to replace the batteries to update it. The keys are comfortable for typing and I feel right at home because the configuration is almost identical to either my built-in keyboard device or the Mac Magic Keyboard. I think this keyboard has many benefits for the user who wants to own and use a Magic Keyboard but doesn't want to spend $99 for one. I use one at work and like it enough, but when I'm working at home, this keyboard actually has more features that I find useful than the Magic Keyboard.1. I can quickly switch between devices after setting them up using (Command+1, Command+2, or Command+3), making it easy to switch between my two Macbooks.2. Unpairing and reconnecting the newly selected device may take a second. This is an awesome feature not found in Magic Keyboard.3. When considering buying a non-Mac keyboard, many of the other keyboard reviews on Revain talk about lag between the keyboard and the computer, but that lag is no more than the Magic Keyboard, meaning I don't notice any lag can. When you press a key, it will be registered on the screen immediately, even if you press it immediately.4. There is a power button on the side but I don't use it, preferring to have the keyboard turn off when not in use. It is, and I'll report on battery life later, as I said above. Going back to the keyboard when it's off, I just press a key and after about 3 seconds, I boot up the last device it was paired with. Overall, I'm very impressed with the price, features, and quality of this keyboard. User friendliness. I'm glad I didn't spend $99 on Apple's official Magic Keyboard, at least for now. Btw, I bought a 4 year extended warranty with a $1 replacement to cover my investment, so I'll also report if something breaks or dies on the keyboard, but I don't see that. Great keyboard with easy device switching at a great price with zero latency. I would definitely recommend this keyboard to anyone using a Mac who doesn't want to pay full price for an official Apple keyboard.
