I clicked on this video with the intention of skimming through it super quick just to see what the keyboard looked like in action, but I ended up watching the whole thing. I was pretty engaged by the way you broke everything down and took us through every step of the process; from looking up the product, doing a bit of research, to the buying and eventually testing of it. Great video and you're very well spoken.

You can always get rechargeable batteries for something like this. Two in the keyboard, two in the charger. And when the time comes, just swap 'em...

Interesting. But… for me there is only ONE computer keyboard, that rules them all from a great height - IBM Keyboard Model M 1391401. Comes in a blue or white sticker. Need a PS/2 to USB adaptor too. Cherry switches, like the blue, are a poor imitation once you know. Unicomp still make these, they are a new alternative. Not cheap.

That advertisement is funny. Vintage "feel" when they're probably using blue switch clones. Anyway, wonderful video as always

just wanted to say this review was really helpful, and this video is really well made and entertaining! good work!!!

awesome. So I love the Qwerkywriter mechanical for myself but what is a good compromise in price vs performance for someone who loves vintage typewriters and learning to type / write. She absolutely loves typing my gaming keyboard to compare. Ducky One 2 Mini w/ MX Brown . So many knock off's out there.

When you got into the comparison beyween the Yunzii and the qwerty, I sometimes had difficulty following which keyboard you were talking about. It is great that you did this review. Thanks! Daniel

Thank you for including a mini tutorial on how to pair it, they forgot to send a manual.

I just bought one and I love it so much. Inspires me to write again

I don't think I would get this one. But I am still on the hunt for a typewriter keyboard so if you have any other keyboards to try out I would love to see them.

Great review! Just curious, and while in the headspace of typewriter-simulating tech, have you found any typewriter simulators that are worth a damn? Meaning programs that allow for the freewriting experience (no backspacing) with an option to save your work? I've found one called "Winston," but it's no longer supported by the Mac app store or available online. Maybe looking for "the best of both worlds" is just me asking for disappointment. 😄

They actually have 3 versions now… the 3rd one is the same as this one, except it’s much longer cause it has a Number keypad at the side 😃😃

I was just looking at these so this is perfect .. now to make a decision 😊

I'm looking to get this keyboard but I am used to AZERTY keyboards, Is there a way to exchange the keycaps on this keyboard?

Cool but I never thought Amazon had the open box option

Have you by any chance tried copy-pasting using the keyboard? The CTRL + V shortcut doesn’t seem to work. Perhaps you’ve figured out another keyboard shortcut?

Awesome video. One question, though. The pairing instructions say you should always use channel 1 (Fn+1) when pairing with a laptop. What if I want to constantly switch between two laptops? I'd always have to re-pair with the one currently in use? That's insane! :D

Is there a way to buy just the kaycaps for the Yunzii Actto b303 ?? I have nails and since i play quite a bit, the letters are starting to fade and I would like to buy some new ones and be more careful since recoloring it with sharpie isnt working so well 😭

Great video! Lovely. And thank you.

Enjoyable and interesting, Sarah. I would never use the Amazon open box option after they sent me a fresh pasta processor that arrived in bits with assembly instructions in Italian! No quibble refund. Have you ever made a video regarding different keyboard layouts and becoming accustomed to them … ie, QWERTZ or AZERTY or even, dare I say it, DVORAK? I have typewriters which even though they are QWERTY have other anomalies such as numerals on Shift and ‘m’ on third instead of bottom row.

I bought one of these a few weeks ago and I think it's going back. I just tried it for the second or third time and it wouldn't do anything, wouldn't connect to my table, tried re-connecting it and it flashed, but didn't connect. :(

On the subject of the "European aesthetic" typewriters to me feel very old Europe, as much as ink and quill, stick candles and leather books ^_^ It feels easy for me to forget typewriters were in common usage up until the 1980s I think the big point that makes them feel European is that they were mostly designed for Latin character, and as far as I know, there weren't typewriters in any Indian languages, or Chinese, or Korean etc. Chinese and Japanese I know continued using printing presses

My keyboard will not convert to Korean letters. I have no problems pairing the keyboard to my laptop. I have tried everything to get it to work. It allowed me to switch to Korean letters when I first purchased it then it just stopped. I am lost.

Will this work with the Remarkable 2?

Eww, I hope that was cheese. This is why I don't buy open box, no matter how great the discount is.

I think you should look into how mechanical keyboard KZfaqrs make their videos, there you will - among other things - learn how important proper sound tests are.

How do you turn it on? 😢
