Who asked for backlight animations?
on February 3, 2024
Posted by: Michael P.
from US, United States
The sound and feel of the keys are what I expected from a mechanical keyboard. However, the backlighting feature is absolutely worthless. The animated patterns are a cute gag for demonstrations but distracting during normal use. I expected an on setting with levels of brightness that remained static and an off setting. What I got was a series of freaked-out flashing keys of no practical value. And, no backlighting option as described above. Also, poor placement of a keyboard key (prime real estate) for switching among illuminations causes unintended backlight effects when I don't want them. At which point, I have to cycle through them until I find either "light up one key when pressed" or my preference "no backlighting at all." To be honest, I almost returned the unit, given my frustration at your undocumented list of animated lights (not in the included docs or your web site).
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

on January 30, 2024

I recently got my hands on the SM1 Slim Mechanical Backlit Bluetooth Keyboard and it has quickly become an essential part of my tech setup. This keyboard is a perfect blend of functionality, aesthetics, and comfort, making it a joy to use for typing tasks.The first thing that caught my attention was the USB-C port. It's a modern touch that not only allows for quick charging but also supports wired connectivity. The keyboard's battery life is impressive, boasting up to 16.5 hours with the backlight on.The feel of the keys is another standout feature. The low-profile brown switches offer a balance of smoothness and tactile feedback, which minimizes finger fatigue and noise. The keys have a shorter travel distance, enabling faster typing. The stabilizers under certain keys ensure uniform key presses, adding to the overall comfort and efficiency.The backlighting on this keyboard is not just functional but also aesthetically pleasing. With 14 different light patterns, it offers a high degree of customization to suit my mood or the ambient lighting.One of the most impressive features of the SM1 is its connectivity options. It supports two Bluetooth connections, a USB connection, and a wired connection. This versatility allows me to switch between devices seamlessly, enhancing productivity.In conclusion, the SM1 Slim Mechanical Backlit Bluetooth Keyboard is a well-rounded device that excels in both functionality and design. Whether you're a professional typist or someone who appreciates a quality keyboard, the SM1 is a worthy investment.
