There’s certainly an initial ‘play with my new toy’ experience that comes along with your Satechi ReadMate Magnifier. The LED lighting is bright and glass offers 5x magnification for fine print, photos, stamps etc. You can hold it up to objects or even cover the object all together if it’s small enough for brightly lit detail.

The Magnifier is activated by depressing the anodized aluminum bezel which illuminates the 3 onboard LED lights. The LED lights are set in a beveled ring that houses the wiring. Depressing the plunger is solid; there is a fair amount of resistance to the action, it’s firm yet cushioned. You don’t have to push the entire ring down to turn it on or off, there seem to be 3 or more contact points around the inner ring so any part of the bezel will work to turn it on or off.

The Satechi ReadMate is powered by a pair of CR2016L batteries that are supplied and a little on/off switch on the inside near the battery compartment that prevents you from accidentally turning it on during transport.

The Satechi ReadMate LED Desktop Magnifier is one of the coolest looking magnifying glasses out there. It’s inexpensive, super functional and the anodized aluminum construction make it a definite a permanent desktop fixture for any gadget guy.
