I looked into this because I have been going through a phase of addiction to mechanical keyboards and made the purchase because Satechi has a strong track record of quality. I like the low profile, but the mechanical keys are still solid. They have the actuation and feel of a full size mechanical, but have the "thocky" audio feedback of bigger more linear keycaps. It's easy to carry but has a substantial and stable feel. Connectivity is very good and allows easy switching between multiple devices. The style and value of the keyboard at the price are perfect. I would definitely recommend that others with home and mobile setups look into the SM1 as a comparable, more economical option than other brands on the market, including the Apple ones.
