SM1 Slim Mechanical Backlit Bluetooth Keyboard

Love it

Awesome keyboard. I’m learning to type after all these years. Thought I’d better learn before it’s too late. My Mac Magic Keyboard was just not up to it in my opinion, so I bought one of these. Perfect. I use other satechi products and they always make good stuff from my experience.

very nice keyboard

Love the battery life! I charged the keyboard overnight when I first unboxed it, and a month later, with daily use, my Mac still says the battery is at 100%. Note: This is with the backlighting mostly turned off, I only use it occasionally when it's really dark and I don't feel like turning on the overhead light in my home office. I like the way the key legends are toward the top of the keys, which should hopefully eliminate the issue I had with another keyboard -- where the visible letter was starting to wear away on the keys I use the most (home row under the left hand, especially the A and S keys). It goes dormant if not used for 30 minutes, and it takes a few seconds to reactivate and reconnect over bluetooth after pressing a key. I also have to activate it twice when I first power up my MacBook Pro -- first to enter my logon password, and again after I am signed in and ready to work.

Functionalist's dream keyboard

I'm not a keyboard aficionado, but I'm a productivity beast. This keyboard is fast, registers the strokes with super accuracy, and connection to multiple devises is very reliable. I know you can go much higher with the price range of mechanical keyboards, and I'm sure some justifies it. But I don't know what else you can expect more from a keyboard from a productivity, quality and reliability standpoints. Highly recommended.
