Satechi SM1 75% Mechanical Keyboard for Mac and Windows, LED Backlit Bluetooth Keyboard, 84 Keys Compact Wireless, Gaming, for Mac and Windows - Dark Gray/Gray

Top-notch typing experience! Elegant, quiet, and reliable. I am absolutely thrilled with this keyboard! The Satechi SM3 is the perfect blend of a professional aesthetic and the satisfying feel of a mechanical keyboard. Here’s why I love it: • Amazing Key Travel: The tactile feedback is spot on. The keys have a great travel distance that makes typing for long hours a breeze and very satisfying. • Non-Invasive Sound: If you’re worried about loud, clicky noises, don’t be. The sound is premium and subtle—it’s not invasive at all, making it perfect for an office environment or a shared home space. • Excellent Battery Life: I’m impressed by how long the battery lasts. The wireless Bluetooth connectivity is rock solid, and I don't find myself reaching for the charging cable often. • Cool Backlighting: The backlit keys are a great touch. It comes with several lighting sequences that look fantastic and help you work in low-light conditions without looking too "gamer-centric." Overall: It’s a solid, full-size keyboard that feels premium and durable. If you want a mechanical feel without the obnoxious noise, this is the one to get!

This keyboard has nice mechanical keys but is not too "clicky". I find I can type faster and with less errors on this keyboard than on a standard non-mechanical keyboard. I have been reluctant to try a mechanical keyboard due to the noise but this keyboard is a good compromise between noise and ease of typing. Good construction, the case is aluminum with a solid feel. The keyboard is intended mainly to be used on Macs (no print screen button, standard caps show CMD and Opt keys), but alternate key caps are provided for Windows as well.

As a lot of the other reviews have noted, this keyboard doesn't have the bells and whistles of some other keyboards, but it is by far the best feeling keyboard I have ever used in my life. In fact it is so good that I bought it only for work on my MacBook, but it ended up replacing my Corsair K95 RGB PLATINUM gaming keyboard on my gaming PC as well with the multi-device connectivity. The only thing I'll note is that when connected to my gaming PC via Bluetooth there was a pretty noticeable input lag, but connecting it over the wire or via the USB dongle fixes that issue entirely. Couldn't recommend more!! tl;dr - Amazing keyboard with wonderfully creamy feeling switches, better than anything I've personally used before, and it even works well as a wireless gaming keyboard

I'm giving this keyboard 5 stars because it deserves it! The only slight issue I found was the backlit keyboard's lighting setup... it's not intuitive, and I cannot find an interface or GUI to make changes on the keyboard. They only offer white light. Other than that small thing, this keyboard is amazing! I love everything about it. The mechanical action is great, and the sound we all love from a mechanical keyboard is loud, clicky, and clear... I love it! If you need a keyboard you really should consider this option.

So for those of you looking for a K800 replacement, I wrote this review for you. The Satechi SM3 is a suitable K800 replacement with some very bold asterisks. It has backlit keys with shine thru lettering, a decent quality chassis, tilt, and comes in the standardized layout like the K800, however the keycaps and the switches have more to be desired. The keycaps are chalky in feel, not smooth like the K800, I really dislike them. The switches are fairly loud and easy to press, though they have a nice feel to them and don't cause typing errors. Here are other keyboards I've tried so far: Scissors Logitech MX Mechanical Logitech K650 Logitech K950 Cherry Stream Wireless Mechanical (Low Profile) Keychron K5 Max Nuphy Air96 v2 Flow 100 Flow 2 100 Satechi SM3 None of these feel like the K800. Most of the switches used in keyboards these days have a lighter feel to them. The K800 as you know has that medium to hard key action that let's you know you activated the key, so to speak. So is there a true replacement? Unfortunately no, at least from what I've tried so far, but there is one keyboard that stood out among the rest. Keyboard Recommendation I promised that if I did find a keyboard out there that I thought was a suitable replacement I would post it on every review of the keyboards I've tried. Now it's very different from the K800, but hear me out. The keyboard is the LOFREE Flow 2 100 with Pulse Switches (Black). I was fixed on the idea that the perfect keyboard had to match the K800 in feel and design. After trying this keyboard I had to rethink that mindset. This is a special keyboard. It's one of those products you know is good as soon as you use it. The keys are easy to press, but your typing remains precise. You can type fast on this keyboard without making mistakes. It sounds thocky, but never annoying or loud, it's quiet. This sounds corny but it gave me my first magical typing experience. I'm not a gifted enough writer to describe it, you have to try it to understand. Like the K800, it has shine thru lettering, which is truly a rarity these days. It has tilt and it's low profile. The chassis is top notch, you won't find a better quality chassis. The only thing that is missing is the standardized layout, so this may be a deal breaker for most and if you don't mind the metal protruding at the right, which I've read is to help dampen the sound. It's expensive, but the quality and performance justifies the cost. Rest in peace K800.

I absolutely love this keyboard. I was fortunate enough to use one that my coworker had purchased and it's perfect. (He had tried multiple keyboards before he landed on this one). Just the right amount of key clack and the backlight really helps as well. Great options for connecting by USB-C, FOB, or Bluetooth. I prefer the FOB and it works well. I tried Bluetooth first and it worked well until I let the battery die and then I lost connectivity temporarily during a meeting, so I've used the FOB since then. The battery lasts me a week usually, But I recharge it every Friday after work and its ready for the next week. I can't say enough about this product. Yes, its not cheap, but quality is never cheap and you get quality in this keyboard... hope this helps you if you are concerned about the price and value.

This keyboard is not fancy; not a lot of bells and whistles, but it is also not basic. Just an amazingly functional and comfortable everyday driver. It is attractive in a minimalistic sort of way, including excellent WHITE backlighting that rivals the keyboard on my MacBook Pro's built-in keyboard. I never have trouble seeing the key legends in the dark - not too bright, not too dark. The feel is a nice compromise between a linear smooth-action switch and a brown switch with a very slight "bump" at about half way through the travel. It isn't quite silent, but it is not loud either. A comforting "thock thock" sound coupled with the tactile bump makes this the most accurate keyboard I've ever used. And build quality is good - it isn't a tank, but it doesn't feel cheap either. Again, the whole package is "just right". A highly recommended, handsome workhorse.

I long desired a mechanical keyboard for my various mac minis, but was dubious third parties could make a mac specific keyboard that wouldn’t be lame due to vying for the masses of windows users. Satechi comes through again! This is a nice, compact keyboard which can connect up to four devices. The Apple specific keys are there and, for windows users, Satechi provides the alternate windows keycaps for the various options keys. There is no customization software for this keyboard. The backlighting is nice, but, beyond the simple keystroke backlighting, I’ve always found such things a big gimmicky. Whatever. I don’t have to use it.

タイプ音は思ったより少し高めで、会社で配布されたキーボードが低い音なので最初は少し恥ずかしかったのですが、見た目がコンパクトで目立ちすぎないデザインなので、会社でいろんな方に「可愛いキーボードですね」と褒められました。

Exelente teclado, la calidad de materiales se siente de muy alto nivel.

Now this is a niiiiiiice keyboard. Very good feel. Very nice form factor. Perfect for work

I'm obsessed with this keyboard! It's my first time purchasing a mechanical keyboard, and I did a lot of research to make sure I got a product that was not too pricey but still decent. I'm so glad I ended up getting this SATECHI keyboard because it is simply exactly what I was looking for. I love the sound effects as I'm typing and also the light options that you get and can use to display your keys. I think it's amazing, and also if you are a first-time mechanical keyboard buyer, I think that this is a really great keyboard to start with. Good quality, and I think you do get your value for your money.

nice typing feeling
