![]() ![]() ![]() These retro-style keyboards are best suited to typing only, but you may use them for a light amount of gaming too. ![]() These keyboards mimic the design of a typewriter and they put you in a nostalgic state when you use them for typing.Īlso, Retro Mechanical Keyboards look very cool, and they come with round typewriter keycaps and some of them have their whole design made to look like a typewriter. You may also call them Retro Classic Mechanical Keyboards or Typewriter keyboards because of their Vintage look. So, if you want to experience the real feel of a vintage typewriter-style mechanical keyboard, and want to stand out from the crowd, then there are some pretty unique-looking mechanical keyboards out in the market, which are called Retro Mechanical Keyboards. However, they do feel mechanical to the core when we type on them, but that overall vintage or retro feel seems kind of missing in appearance and functionality. Modern mechanical keyboards have become so modern, both in looks and functionality that sometimes we even don’t get that retro feeling that we are using a mechanical keyboard. Moreover, they are also much more reliable and durable than regular membrane or rubber dome keyboards. It feels so good to type on a mechanical keyboard because you will get the satisfying clicky sound and tactile feedback from it (with clicky switches only).

Where to buy: The Qwerkywriter S is available on Amazon or directly from Qwerkytoys. I’m not sure just how much I’ll actually use it with my MacBook, but I will be putting it on display as desk-art and conversation piece when not paired up with my tablet. Its built-in tablet stand makes it an excellent iPad Pro, stay on your desk wireless keyboard. I love its manual Remington typewriter, Ernest Hemingway vibe. Its novelty and aesthetics might be lost on many in today’s modern world but I find it a definite keeper. I grant you the Qwerkywriter S is a bit of a niche device with a look, feel, and sound experience all its own. Qwerkywriter S is compatible with iOS, macOS, Android, and Windows and comes with a one year warranty. In addition to a variety of keyboard layouts, Qwerkytoys has recently announced that the Qwerkywriter S will also be available in Pink, Mint, and White. The Qwerkywriter S is available with US, UK, German (QWERTZ), French (AZERTY), Italian, Nordic, and Spanish key layouts. In addition to Bluetooth, you can physically connect the USB cable directly to your computer which enables you to type and charge the Qwerkywriter S concurrently. There is a 1,000mAh internal battery that Qwerkytoys promises keeps the Qwerkywriter operational on Bluetooth for approximately a month. The keyboard is recharged via a microUSB port. The power button is located on the back, rear right side on the keyboard. The Qwerkywriter S has dual function scroll knobs that control volume on the left knob and mouse scroll on the right knob. The carriage return lever comes preprogramed as the Enter function but I found myself using the standard Enter key on the right side of the keyboard 99% of the time. Qwerkytoys has engineered a programmable macro key that you really can’t miss…the large, chrome Return bar. I think the click sound these mechanical switches produce is cool/endearing but my wife did point out how much the “noise” irritated her when she was within earshot. ![]() The mechanical keys are Cherry™ MX “clicky” switches for that “ultimate tactile feedback” and sound experience. The keys are made from a hard black plastic with each symbol stenciled onto their tops. The keyboard is approximately 13″ x 7″ x 2.5″ and weighs in at just under 3 lbs. To contrast its black matte finish, the keys and other hardware have bright, shiny chrome accents. The aluminum chassis has a scratch resistant matte coating applied to it. The main body of the Qwerkywriter is made from a relatively thick, aluminum giving the keyboard a great heft to it. The right side has additional keys including page up/down, home, and the arrow keys. The Qwerkywriter S has a pretty standard layout with letter keys, modifiers, number row, and function row. But don’t let looks fool you, this keyboard has all of the functions and capabilities as any modern counterpart. The Qwerkywriter S isn’t what I would consider a full-sized typewriter but its key spacing/layout isn’t any smaller than the average laptop keyboard either. The Qwerkywriter S is very well constructed from solid materials with a hardy utilitarian, World War II design to it. ![]()
