Satechi is yet another company that brought new products to CES 2024. Satechi announced its SM1 slim mechanical backlit Bluetooth keyboard and Qi2 wireless charging stands. Let’s focus on the keyboard first.
The Satechi SM1 is a slim mechanical keyboard with a 75% setup
The Satechi SM1 keyboard is the very first keyboard from the company made to seamlessly function with both Mac and Windows. This is a rechargeable keyboard that features a 75% layout. It includes low-profile brown switches and four-device connectivity.
There are 14 different backlight patterns that you can choose from. A lock screen shortcut has also been added for security (macOS only). This keyboard features an aluminum enclosure, removable keycaps, and adjustable feet. The company also says it’s ergonomic.
It is worth noting that there are three connectivity modes here. This keyboard supports Bluetooth 5.0, Wi-Fi connectivity via a dongle (2.4GHz), and a wired mode. So you have plenty of options.
There is a 2,500mAh battery on the inside, and the keyboard can be recharged via a Type-C port. In addition to Windows and macOS, you can also use this keyboard with iOS, Chrome OS, and more, of course.
The Satechi SM1 keyboard is priced at $99.99, and is already available from Satechi.net. Do note that you can receive a 20% discount now if you use the code ‘CES20’.
The company also announced new Qi2 wireless charging stands
Satechi introduced two new Qi2 wireless charging stands. One is a 2-in-1 stand, and the other is a 3-in-1 offering. Both of them are foldable by the way, as Satechi aims to offer you something for your travels.
These wireless charging stands are compatible with Qi2 devices and can provide up to 15W of power. They’re made out of aluminum and have a vegan leather base. There is also a soft silicone charging puck included. The hinges are also durable, claims the company.
These two devices are quite similar in terms of design, but the 3-in-1 model has an additional charger on the back, for the Apple Watch. That charger pops out once you unfold the charger. The 3-in-1 charging stand also comes with a 45W power adapter.
As you can see in the image provided below, these devices are quite compact when folded. Satechi’s 3-in-1 charging stand is priced at $129.99, while the 2-in-1 model costs $79.99. They will become available in Q2 this year.
