This keyboard is so cute. The pictures don’t really do it justice. It has a faux leather backing behind the keys. Which can be hard to clean, so make sure to keep clean hands, no Cheetos! Or this might stain. It is loud which is meant to replicate an actual type writer. So if you’re sharing an office and you and the other person don’t like the clicks of typing, this is not for you. The setup was really easy. I have a Mac and it’s all setup for it. The packaging is gorgeous. It is expensive but if you’re in it for the aesthetic this is fantastic. The keys are plastic so although the actual keyboard is good. I can see the keys needing to be replaced if you’re a heavy typer. It does come with extra keys which is nice. It’s so pretty and definitely recommend

I love this thing. Mainly, I bought it for the aesthetic. BUT, after using it for a few days, I remembered why I loved my old typewriter--it has a satisfying, tactile quality.

I would recommend a metal insert or metal attachments for the adjustable legs. When I pulled my keyboard out of the box one of the adjustable legs were not attached to the keyboard. When I looked at it I realized that the screws were stripped out of the plastic holes they were supposed to be screwed into. Because there were a couole of grooves left, I got some fabric tape and wrapped it around the screws and screwed them back in. There was only about 5 to 10% of the screw grooves left. The keyboard was packed pretty well so I am assuming whomever put it together tightened the screws to the point to where they stripped the grooves out of the holes. Or they tossed the keyboard into the box too hard and the impact tore the grooves. Either way, for such a well put together keyboard that has leather on it and is also made of metal, I find that the lack of making metal connectors for the adjustable legs a huge oversight. Other than that, it is a very beautiful keyboard. Very nice proportions, elegant style, nice comfy weight to it, and bluetooth is very responsive. The usb cord provided with it is braided and is very nice with a good length to it. I was very happy to get it in so I didn't bother to send it back. The tape job I did is holding and I just keep it on a sliding tray so I don't move it a lot. I also got it in in a decent amount of time even with the huge winter stirm that hit the shipping lane it was going through. Very nice press to the keys and reminds me of a typewriter that is well tuned. Not a super expensive tuned typewriter but not a cheap one either. Not as loud as reviews I have seen other people write about it. I can see it being loud if you are slamming your fingers down on the keys when you type but not if you're using it normally. Keys are very nice and the lighting on it works very well. Haven't had single problem with responsiveness yet and the keyboard wakes up immediately when I press a key. This keyboard would be over 5 stars if that one flaw is fixed. I got it on sale so I didn't mind trying to fix it myself. Would be a shame to see such a nice keyboard go to waste over so small a thing.
