Satechi SM1 Keyboard Review - Tough Competition

The Satechi SM1 keyboard is the first low profile mechanical keyboard offered by the manufacturer of premium apple accessories. It's compatible with both mac and windows and offers some nice featuers, but ultimately it's outclassed by competitors like the Keychron K3 Max and NuPhy Air75 V2 among others.

Hi, thanks for all the keyboard reviews. So that Satechi SM1 is probably OEM’d (or is originally) Ausdom Airkey 84 which I just bought on Amazon. Yes, for about $50, it’s a decent keyboard, but I’ll probably get the Keychron or Nuphy 75 next time.

[@laughyourashevilleoff2546]

Thanks for this review. I've got a Nuphy Air 96 V2 on the way and am glad I'm not second guessing my choice with new offerings from Satechi.

[@kobymile5453]

Saw this when I was admiring Satechi R2 media remote controller

[@jtd3421]

Loved that you mentioned the Azio Cascade Slim. I use it daily and really like it. Priced the same as this one.

[@semiprotech]

Yes! It's a great option at this price point and I would recommend it over the SM1

[@BrandanTheBroker]

I like Satechi, I have their X1 Slim and it's great. I'm looking at this one but also like the Lofree Mist and the MX Mechanical. Probably going with Lofree

[@user-uh8xj3kj8f]

Dear, after watching your video, I bought video macgo 2 and ycc 22 cable, but the background noise is too much, I am very worried.
Please reply۔ 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@markockwell]

Nuphy 75 V2 all the way - love the logi mech kb ( for some of the shortcuts ) but love the feel of my Nuphy with red switch's

[@ucpmod]

Offering a solder only option is so 2019. Not having a hot swap version is really going to limit he sales of this keyboard I feel.

[@Blacksadify]

Agreed. Non-hot swappable is an absolute non starter. It's a basic feature at this point. Shame, because all of the other features look pretty good.

[@SoftwareManiacLSM]

I bought nuphy air75 v2

[@aliarsenal6136]

This is low profile keyboard, right?

[@oleksii9594]

right, and the mentioned competitors too

[@user-uh8xj3kj8f]

پیارے میں نے آپکی ویڈیو دیکھ کر ویڈیو میک گو ٢اور یس سی ٢٢ کیبل خرید لیا لیکن بیک گراؤنڈ شور بہت زیادہ ہے میں بہت پریشان ہوں

[@oleksii9594]

the main cons: there is a keychron

[@bobbobson6290]

Meh
I tried the Keychron K17 Pro, the Nuphy Air 75 and the Lofree Flow 100 keys and the Keychron was the worst of the bunch.

[@DarrinLin]

keychron is so mid
