Retro Typewriter Mechanical Keyboard, Wireless Bluetooth 5.0 LED Backlit Office Computer Keyboards with 83-Key Clicky Blue Switches, Vintage Design for PC/Laptop/Mac/Pad/Phone/Gaming, Black

Although I prefer keyboards with an extended numerical keyboard, I saw this and fell in love. I love another brand as well, but those keyboards are north of about $200. No bueno.When this arrived, I was not disappointed with the look. OF COURSE there's not real wood, but it has the look of wood. Because I'm a touch typist, I appreciate the raised knobs on the f and j keys, which keep me focused. The carriage knob for the sound is perfect, and that surprised me. No more searching the keyboard for the right volume key.So why don't I LOVE it the way I wanted?It's the backlight. Or, more accurately, the way the backlight refuses to cooperate.Sometimes I can get it to turn on, but more often than not, it'll just randomly turn off and not do anything. Or, it'll turn on. I know my house isn't haunted, so this is a little weird. Sometimes when it comes on, it's the racing lights which can be very distracting in a dark room. Ultimately, when I tried to adjust the lights with the "carriage return" during one of the keyboard's tantrums, it fell off in my hand. Ugh.I will return it and hope I can get an exchange. I obviously don't hate it, but sometimes, I just like for something to work. FWIW, I have a PC-oriented gaming keyboard with lots of lights that I use on my Mac Mini, and it works perfectly, whether I want crazy lights or just something soft in the background while I'm concentrating on the task. I wanted this keyboard because it's Mac-centric and I don't have to guess at the various control keys. I'll update with any hiccups or resolution.UPDATE! I updated to five stars because the replacement keyboard does everything promised. As I noted earlier, I love the clicky-click keys and for some reason, they allow me to type faster. I'm typing this using the keyboard onto my MacBook Air laptop. (I a laptop ever made a keyboard like this, I'd snatch one up immediately!) With this keyboard having the Mac keys clearly marked, it is so much easier to type without having to guess through the corresponding Windows keys. Mac users, take notice!Of course, the most important part in this situation is that the lights work! While I'm not sure of the rationale behind providing some of the odd patterns, the main thing is that I can now easily type in a room with dimmed lighting.The return/replace process was dead easy, and now I have the fully functional keyboard. Love it!

When I saw that it was on sale, there was no way I was going to pass up the opportunity to buy it.Love it! Love that you can also change the switches. I got the tactile switches, but might end up trying silent switches on it! The clicky is fun though.Love that it lights up, and the wood base looks so nice.My only little complaint is that I wish the dials and carriage return level were customizable. I would love for the one on the right to be able to scroll instead of adjust volume. But that’s really a minor gripe.It seems well made and it’s enjoyable to use. The instructions were badly translated, but there isn’t much to do other than connect it and start typing. Matter of fact, I’m using it now to leave this review.Since I intend to use it mostly with my iPad Mini (match made in heaven), it’s definitely one of the nicest keyboards I’ve bought for that purpose!

Just what we wanted! My daughter loves writing novels and songs, and we thought this would be a fun way to make doing so on her iPad easier. Her bulky iPad case doesn't fit in the stand, but it works fine anyway (her case has a built-in stand). It's very attractive, and the colorful backlight options are fun. I couldn't initially figure out how to sync with Bluetooth, but the instructions here in the product listing were clear (I just had to turn the iPad off and back on), and once we synced it that first time, we haven't had to do it again (we've been using it about three weeks).The sound of typing on typewriter-style keys is SOO satisfying! I'm convinced she focuses longer due to it, and I love walking by and hearing it.We had a minor issue with the backlight setting getting stuck, and the company went above and beyond to make it right with quick email responses and ultimately replacing the product.

No disappointment. Size, appearance lights and sound all wonderful experience makes you want to type. Functionally it works perfectly so far. I was concerned that it may be too compact but it is just as easy to use as the style I am used to.

I love everything about the keyboard but the little lever that switches the lighting effects. It busted just taking the keyboard out of the box. It is a simple spindle of plastic that adds a nice aesthetic.Functionally, the keyboard is fine - the lighting options can be cycled by a keyboard combination. I won't be sending it back because a new one would break just as easily when I put it in my bag.The rest of the keyboard is solid, the keys are fun and tactile, the color is classy. I like that I can use either BT or USB-C to connect.
