At CES 2024, Satechi, a renowned accessory brand unveils its debut mechanical keyboard, the SM1. Priced at $99.99, this ultra-thin Bluetooth keyboard is designed to be compatible with a variety of devices, including Mac, iPad, iPhone, Windows, and more. Let’s check out the key specs of this keyboard.
Satechi SM1 Specifications:
The SM1 features a compact 75% layout, which excludes a numeric keypad, making it easy to carry and ideal for users who prefer a more condensed keyboard. One of its notable characteristics is the use of brown switches, which are known for providing a balance between smoothness and tactile feedback, similar to the combination of Red and Blue switches. These switches are quiet and have a short travel distance, reducing finger fatigue and making them suitable for office or shared working environments.
In terms of connectivity, the SM1 offers versatility with options for wired, dongle, or wireless connections. It supports a 2.4 GHz USB receiver and Bluetooth 5.0, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of operating systems including iOS, iPadOS, macOS, Windows OS, and Google Chrome OS. The keyboard can connect with up to four devices simultaneously, allowing seamless transitions between different devices with just a few key presses.
Another significant feature of the SM1 is its 14 backlight modes, adding an aesthetic appeal to its functionality. It also includes a screen lock shortcut, particularly enhancing security for macOS users. The keyboard’s design is both ergonomic and stylish, housed in a slim aluminum alloy casing. Its detachable keycaps and adjustable feet add to the comfort and stability during use.
SM1 features a 2500mAh rechargeable battery that can be charged through a USB-C port. Even when the battery is running low, users can continue typing by connecting it to a computer for recharging. With the backlight on, it can last up to 16.5 hours on a single charge. When the backlight is off, the keyboard can go for up to two months before needing to be recharged.
