“Elegant Retro Design: match your unique and chic tasteīoth Bluetooth Wireless And USB Wired Connectivity Supported: suits for all kinds of using purpose With 13 Reviews I’m seeing a 4.9-star rating. Takes me back to high school and my personal typing class on old Royal manual typewriters.īasically, if knewkey sent my replacement key caps for the F and J keys, with raised detente finger-finders, this would be a 5 star piece of gear insofar as I would evaluate it.First of all, the wonderful news is on sale! Not only is it feeling great typing on it, but it is also sounding great too, seriously the click-clacking of pressing the keys. KB is solidly built and just plain fun to look at on my desktop. Key switch feel is great, with really good tactile feedback so I don't miss a letter or hhhhhhhhhhhit one key and get lots of the same letter. Good news is that the KB is a pleasure to use, particularly as I get used to it. A good keyboard macro-ing program solves this in most cases, but if you are used to the bigger layout and use mapped key short cuts, you should be prepared to map your function keys to replace any missing keys on this layout. In my case, the one I miss the most is print screen for using screen capture functions. ![]() One minor challenge is that keys I am used to using on a 105 key layout are not there on this typewriter layout. This is getting better as I get used to the new kb, but it was an annoyance until I figured out what was the cause. Only a couple of tents of an inch total between the A key and the L key, but just enough that when I am in the flow, I scrape up against a key immediately adjacent to the one I meant to hit. I checked, and the key layout is slightly tighter than my old, 105 key layout KB. Other than that, I seem to hit double keys on a fairly commonly. As a result, sometimes type in what reads like phonetic Russian as my fingers hit the keys they 'think' are correct, but aren't. While this keyboard has a scribe marking on those keys (and they illuminate), there is nothing to feel on my index fingers. I am used to a raised detente on the F and J keys so I know my hands are properly aligned on the home row. I am an 'almost touch typist' trained on IBM style keyboards for more than 30 years. Revisado en los Estados Unidos el 20 de julio de 2020įirst, my biggest complaint. I would suggest looking for this item on Alibaba. one other thing! You probably won’t find it under “MX 520” when pairing, but “KnewKey”. It does not appear as though the backlight brightness adjusts, despite what it says.ĪND. Using the arrow keys will only speed up or slow down the dancing light effect. I could probably spend $50 on it and not feel guilty though! It doesn’t seem like anything outside of the normal assortment of crap shoot made in China type items on Amazon even though this was at one point a crowd-funded project.Īnd if you want to know how to change the backlight effect (eg: be solid ON or OFF and stop dancing- or dance differently) use the fn and Del keys. I didn’t feel like I could justify $150-200 for this. I use mine at home, it’s not terribly practical to tote around, though it would be dramatic for sure. But if you brought an IBM into a cafe, that’s what it would sound like. Because it’s not the late 90’s and we’re not using IBM’s. And to answer some else’s question- it would be a bit loud to use in a public space like a cafe. The Del and power keys are not backlit, and not sure why this decision was made. Caps Lock is lit when locked, but otherwise you cannot see it really. cheap? Gift shop-y? It doesn’t seem to adjust brighter-darker for the backlight. ![]() I don’t care for the blue color backlight on a vintage inspired item, the plastic keyboard housing, or the plastic keys. I like the phone/tablet stand, the fact that it can be backlit (or not) and that I can use this on an uneven surface like a pillow or comforter (as it’s more substantial than my other bluetooth keyboard). ![]() The vintage typewriter stying appealed to me, so I had this sitting on my wishlist for awhile. I’ll also try to address some questions I read and issues in other weird reviews and I do hope the photos/vid help! (It’s my first time adding video w/a product review or posting a how-to!) (But not my first time using parentheses!) It’s a cute idea, but I’ll share what I liked and what I didn’t and why I chose to return it. Even with that promo (no extra discount for pandemic) it was still about $150 before taxes and all. I bought this as an indulgent lightening deal COVID purchase from my wishlist.
