Looking for matrices such that $\kappa(A) =1$

Looking clues for this problem.

Find all the matrices such that $\kappa(A) = 1$

We define $\kappa(A) = \|A\|\,\|A^{-1}\|$. If I'm looking matrices such that $\kappa(A) = 1$, I was thinking in this:

1) If $A = I$, the identity matrix, then $\kappa(A) = 1$.

2) If A is orthogonal, then the columns of $A$ form an orthonormal basis (orthonormal if we consider the euclidian norm) of $\mathbb{R}^{n \times n}$, then $\kappa(A) = 1$.

I'm not sure how to consider the norms $\| \cdot \|_1,\| \cdot \|_{\infty}$, because case (2) is valid whne we consider the euclidian norm.

Thanks for all your help!
