At CES 2026, Satechi expanded its accessories portfolio with several sophisticated input devices. With the new EX1 and EX3 keyboards and the EX Wireless Mouse, the manufacturer is focusing on a topic that has rarely been considered for flat peripherals: replaceable batteries. Despite the ultra-thin design, Satechi focuses on modular solutions, modern connectivity and comparatively low prices. The company is thus addressing the desire for durable, flexible accessories for everyday work and mobile use.
- Ultralight EX1 and EX3 keyboards with easily replaceable battery
- EX Wireless Mouse with aluminum top and modular battery
- Multi-device support via Bluetooth and USB-C dongle
- Market launch initially in the USA, Europe is expected to follow soon
Modular batteries as a unique selling point in an ultra-thin design
With the EX1 and EX3 keyboards, Satechi shows that even extremely flat keyboards are not necessarily dependent on permanently installed batteries. Both models are based on an ultra-thin membrane design that is very similar to laptop keyboards and therefore promises a short familiarization period. The key difference lies on the inside: The battery is located under a small flap on the underside, which is secured with just one screw. This means that the power source can be replaced in just a few minutes, without the need for special tools or a trip to the service center.
The main functional difference between the two variants is their layout. While the EX1 is designed as a compact keyboard without a numeric keypad, the EX3 with its full numeric keypad and large arrow keys is aimed at users who regularly work with numbers. Both models support Bluetooth and a USB-C dongle and can be paired with up to four devices. A slider on the back allows you to quickly switch between macOS and Windows key assignments. Satechi has deliberately dispensed with a backlight to enable a battery life of several weeks and to keep the housing particularly slim.
Satechi EX Wireless Mouse: aluminum meets sustainable construction
The line-up is complemented by the new Satechi EX Wireless Mouse, which is positioned as a flat office mouse. Despite the low price, the manufacturer has opted for an aluminum top surface, which not only looks high-quality but also provides additional stability. The mouse can be connected to up to three devices simultaneously – two via Bluetooth and one via the USB-C dongle supplied. A switch on the underside enables seamless switching between the connected systems, making it particularly interesting for multi-device setups.
Satechi also follows the longevity approach with the mouse. The integrated battery can be replaced without tools if the capacity decreases after several years. It is charged via a USB-C port on the front so that the mouse can continue to be used while charging. According to the manufacturer, the built-in buttons should work quietly and are clearly designed for productive working environments. Overall, the EX Wireless Mouse combines a minimalist design with functions that are usually found in higher-priced models.
Conclusion
With the new EX1 and EX3 keyboards and the EX Wireless Mouse, Satechi presents a coherent accessory package that combines design, functionality and sustainability. The modular batteries in particular send out a clear signal against disposable electronics. The products will initially be released in the USA, with the market launch in Germany and Austria expected to follow a few weeks later. The keyboards are priced at 49.99 US dollars (EX1) and 69.99 US dollars (EX3), while the mouse costs 29.99 US dollars.
