That's a really nice keyboard! 👍 I like how it looks and I love the light modes and how clicky it is. I enjoy getting tactile feedback. It lets me know that what I'm using is there. Thanks for the review Teoh. 😃

This is similar to the Qwerkywriter. The clack sound is not great, and avoidable with o-rings or pads, but the styling is nice. I wish keyboard makers would do something constructive with LEDs, like create context-aware lighting for whatever program I'm in.

saying it's too noisy!!! LOL I worked in a typing pool with eight (8) other women, all typing on the REAL OLDE TYPE WRITERS! CLACK, CLACK, CLACK, KER-CHING. CLACK, CLACK, CLACK, CLACK, KER-CHING! lol It certainly was NOT noisy, compared to the sort of noie in an office nowadays - Radios playing music, people talking, and all the other stuff that goes on in an office - other than typing. LOL

Josephine Hogg it is reminiscent of the old typewriter era however it is noisy if it was in a more graphical design environment like Teoh’s I am sure where mouse clicking is the usual main sound. I think for coding it would be quite a common sound but overall it is a very niche looking product for sure

Please help! I bought one of these for my wife for Christmas. We've followed the steps to a T 100x. But we cannot get it to connect to any device via Bluetooth. After the F1-3 step, the FN+~ does nothing! It doesn't flash like the F1-3 keys do. And we can't find the Bluetooth ID on any device. We tried it on USB mode on my PC and that works fine. But I got this for her IPad and she's super disappointed. I reached out to the company but haven't gotten a response. Am I missing something??

Great review! I spent a lot of years typing on the older keyboards which had the tactile feeling. You had to use a different kind of tapping, harder, then you do on the newer flat, low profile keyboards. I always am hitting the key too hard because that kind of pressure and rhythm seems to have been embedded in my brain. On my job (newspaper) you could hear everyone typing, but the sound blended into the background. But for people now, it would be annoying because they aren't use to it. I'd like to try this keyboard. Very nice.

I personally prefer low profile keyboards since I've been using them for years. Since my table don't have much space, I appreciate they take up less space too.

A useful unbiased review. As a rule, I wouldn't use devices like this that are tailored for Mac / i-products. All the same, an interesting piece of hardware. It would appeal more to Windows users if the CMD keys were configurable... even better, as the keys can be removed, why not provide additional keys that can be swapped in and configured for Windows? Thanks :)

A Bluetooth mechanical keyboard is pretty cool for iPad use, but this one's kinda bulky. And since it's new I would've hoped for nicer switches (or at least more variety) than just Gateron and Cherry MX. I've been spoiled by Kailh BOX.

The keys feels very tactile. They have a very audible click and firm press. It's a mechanical keyboard so typing will be loud. No way to turn off the sound.

It's going to wobble if you tap the screen with your finger. But if you leave it there, it won't move by itself.

I hated it. Returned it immediately. It doesn't sound like a manual typewriter. The shelf for the cell phone is too narrow to hold my phone upright in its case. My phone won't text with the phone in the horizontal position. The stand behind it falls off too easily. The only thing I liked is that, even though it hurt my hands typing due to the thickness, the keys were positioned much better than my very thin iMac little keyboard and my typing was more accurate. That wasn't enough to appease my disappointment that the keys sounded like old computer keyboards, not antique typewriters. I returned it the same day.
