Retro mechanical keyboard - qwerkywriter keyboard unpacking and evaluation

When I was very young, I liked the old typewriter, I liked its retro style and the sound of the keys at work, especially the crisp hum that came out after a row of words. It was very kind after the completion of an article on the computer. Hit the Enter button for pleasure. At the same time, I have always been curious about how this stuff works. After watching the video on YouTube, I learned that the principle of a typewriter is actually very simple, far less complex than I thought. At the time, I wanted to scouring an antique back, but I just wanted to think about it. After all, this collection is worth more than its value. The odds that I need to write a plain English article on a solid white paper are almost zero in life. So the idea of ​​buying an old typewriter to use it is just an idea.

Until last year, I accidentally saw on the Internet a mechanical keyboard modeled after an old-fashioned typewriter.

(Take a picture of the official website)

After watching the video, it is said that it is possible to use Bluetooth to connect a PC, Mac, iPad, and iPhone as a keyboard that can be used. At that time, my heart could not be calm. Then Shangguan Net

Downloaded some picture collections. Then I gradually forgot about this matter, and occasionally I think I also think that this niche crowdfunding is no one to bother.

Saying that the first two days were going to give the computer a desktop wallpaper and saw the qwerkywriter again. Suddenly, like the evil spirits, the ghosts made a difference on the official website. I was actually on the market for a year now, and Baidu, Google, and YouTube opened it. A lot of search box.

This time, I couldn’t sit still, but according to the official website’s price of 349 US dollars, I’d have to spend more than 2,000 yuan in exchange for RMB. It’s not a small amount of money, not to mention almost all users are in the Tucao. A lot of shortcomings. People who are willing to buy it are definitely out of emotion.

This time I began to hesitate again, buy or not buy it? First contact with a few friends in the United States to see if I can help with this keyboard, and after I bought it, how much will it cost me to send back to my country? At that time, my heart was going to plan if the price was too high, then forget about it. Sure enough, the friend replied that this internal transportation with batteries is a problem, and the reason for the weight is that the freight rate is not necessarily low. When they order on the official website, they are sent to me, which is estimated to be two months. Later, at that time, it was estimated that my heart's addiction had slowly faded.

This want to give up on this, who knows a friend is a warm-hearted, self-assertion to help me find it on Taobao, and very rational analysis of me is better to buy on Taobao. Although the price of Taobao is a little bit more expensive than that, I can get it right away and recommend to me several dispensers that seem to be more reliable.

I originally wanted to convince myself to give up with high prices and long hours of operation. This was followed by a friend's analysis and added to him: "Life is short and hard, money can be lost, and things can't be bought if it's off the shelf." With one click, I also gave my heart a glimpse and bought it. Although the price of the hand was really expensive, it was a dream that I had longed for since childhood, not to mention the fact that this game was absolutely overwhelming. Stars father's house drinks. So, with one heart, I told the treasurer that I would immediately go out and give me a sip...

Who knows after the payment dispensers say this stuff contains batteries, even if it is SF can only send land transport, can not be airlifted, it is estimated that it takes 3 to 5 days to receive the goods, and then hit a few smiles, my heart suddenly there Ten thousand heads of mud horses rush past...

After a few days of anxiously waiting, at noon today finally received the courier brother's phone let me go to the door to get parcels.

Ten thousand words are omitted here...

Back home to open...

After opening the box is very simple, on a keyboard, a plain English manual and a micro usb to usb cable, used to charge the keyboard

Connected picture

After you get the instructions, look at the baby introduction, connection method, and instructions for use.

In fact, it is very simple to use, the keyboard is connected to a computer or iOS device via Bluetooth, the data line looks like it can only be used for charging, can not be used as a wired keyboard, so many users say that the Bluetooth connection is not stable, often dropped themselves. However, I had less than 12 hours to get the hand, so there is no problem with dropping the line for the time being.

Through my use of this afternoon, I feel better now. First of all, I think Bigger himself is higher. After all, I like old typewriters, especially the metal lever on the left side of the keyboard. It simulates the effect of a real typewriter's wrap. Computer can replace the Enter key to use

Then the setting is very simple, because I use the Mac computer, the command key on the Mac, the option key are in the corresponding position on this keyboard, do not need to set up separately. It felt like I was full when I hit this article. . . . . .

Of course, there are also deficiencies. First, the Mac's Fn function key position has been changed. What does it mean to adjust the brightness of the screen, the multimedia playback pause button, and the volume shortcut key are not in their original positions, and the qwerkywriter does not have a corresponding label on the keyboard. The function key icon, only F1 to F12, when you want to use also want to think about how to press F after pressing Fn is what I want to operate.

Button feel is still not a bit used now, after all, Apple's ultra-thin keyboard used to use, this button's key length is very long. And the buttons are round and the contact area is also smaller than the normal keyboard. So the typing speed is still relatively slow.

As for many people who use Tucao's buttons, plastic parts appear to be cheap and not high-grade. Instead of using the green axis of cherry in the crowd-raising advertising, Kay's axis is not used for me. I have never used a mechanical keyboard. I don't have any concept of the difference between the green axis and the black axis. So the hand feels okay to me. There is nothing bad about it. It feels like the sound is too small. It's not quite the same as the typewriter I imagined.

Yeah, it's almost like that. After all, they did not get a very detailed trial report.

At the beginning of the year, he issued an unpacking of the hario V60 electric grinder.

Who knows the system replied to me that the content was too simple and did not allow publication. If there is a single product coffee enthusiast who is interested, I would rather find time to re-compute a grinder evaluation report.
