Review: Great With a Mac - I have an iMac and have been looking for a typewriter style mechanical keyboard for awhile. I tried a lesser expensive keyboard that I liked, but it had a couple drawbacks. It was wired, not bluetooth and the keycaps were strictly Windows based. This keyboard is terrific. The only problem was the Mac keycaps that were included were onyx rather than copper. Needless to say they look odd and out of place. I called Azio and they said that was an error and offered to ship me the correct set at no cost. They answered the phone on one ring with no press this press that hoops to jump through. That alone was very refreshing. The manual includes the keyboard layout for both PC and Mac and once you change to the Mac keys and slide the switch to Mac it works perfectly. As to the keyboard. It's gorgeous and has a nice tactile feel. It clicks, more like the original mechanical keyboards and less like a typewriter. The first keyboard I bought had a distinct and loud click. The Azio is a bit quieter, but still a distinct "typing" sound. With the less expensive keyboard I had constant errors because even the slightest touch would cause a key to react. The Azio isn't so touchy and I find there are far fewer errors. The keys are slightly depressed allowing your fingertips to naturally find center. The leds light the keycaps well and they are easy to see even in low light. Pairing the bluetooth is simple, but I had a small issue at first. The manual instructs you to press the Fn and minus/dash keys to initiate pairing. I didn't notice that the minus key in the number key cluster on the right has the bluetooth symbol. I was pressing the minus key next to the 0 ) key and of course nothing happened. Realizing my error I pressed the right keys and within seconds the keyboard was paired up. This keyboard was about double the cost of most keyboards I've purchased over the years, but it's not just a keyboard. It's got style and a unique look. The Li-ion rechargeable battery and the zinc aluminum case add some heft to the keyboard. The feet are adjustable with an anti slip coating. This keyboard is not going to slip and slide around your desk. I type with my keyboard in my lap and the Azio is much more stable than any other keyboard I've used yet. At the same time it's not so heavy as to be irritating. So far I can't see anything wanting with the Anzi Retro Classic. The great customer service is a plus.
Review: This keyboard has me in GEEK HEAVEN!!! - This keyboard really is as GORGEOUS as it looks in photos! The metal trim is real metal. The leather is real leather. And those KEYS are just frikkin' awesome! I have a steampunk-themed office space, and this keyboard could not be more perfect for it! The clicky mechanics of the keys have a satisfying amount of action and sound, without being too loud - a nice middle ground as mechanical keyboards go. The keyboard is naturally raised a bit in the back, but apart from that, there's no ergonomics to speak of, but I'm happy to sacrifice that for the sheer cool factor. The battery life, at least when the backlight is on, is only about a week. But it's easy to get into the habit of charging it periodically, and the keyboard can be used when plugged in. I have seen NO LAG when typing. I am connecting via bluetooth on a newer computer. Some have complained about the keys. They're very tall, and feel much like typewriter keys. There is a SLIGHT bit of wobble in them, but they are not flimsy in any way and feel sturdy, even with the tiny bit of wobble. It took me all of about 30 minutes of using this keyboard to adapt my typing style to the way the keys feel, by typing a little more vertically with my fingers. I seriously don't even notice any more. In any case, it's well worth the trade-off for the cool factor. I type plenty and daily on this keyboard, and have had no problems, and can type just as fast as I could on my previous keyboard, which was an ergonomic style. If I was an author, the keys might be an issue, but for any other moderate daily usage, I don't think it would be an issue for most people. Despite any room for improvement, I just had to give this 5 stars because I feel like it's Christmas every time I get to type on it. It's THAT COOL.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: When you type does it make the noise of an actual vintage typewriter?**
A: No, not at all. It makes the sound of a nicely Clicky keyboard. I absolutely love mine, and I love the sound, but it definitely doesn't sound like a vintage typewriter, especially not a pre-electric one which is what people generally think of now when they think typewriter. The people who say it sounds like a typewriter--I'd hazard a guess that they don't actually know what a real typewriter sounds like. 
As for sound level, it's not too loud. It's way louder than my whisper soft MacBook Air keyboard, but it's probably about the same loudness as my Logitech keyboard on my desktop HP.  Marvelously Clicky.

**Q: What kind of switches do these compare to? (Cherry MX brown, blue, red, or other?)**
A: The switches are kailh Blue.

**Q: Does this work with MAC?**
A: The Bluetooth Artisan version works very well with my iMac. It comes with a set of Mac keycaps that you change out according to a layout included in the manual. Then move the selector switch on the back edge to Mac and your all set. My iMac had no trouble recognizing and pairing with the keyboard. It will work like any other dedicated Mac keyboard.

**Q: can i connect this to 2 different computers switching between the usb and bluetooth connections?**
A: Yes you can switch between 2 different computers, but you would have to keep changing which computer the keyboard is connected to.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect for aesthetics, not perfect for functionality
*by Z***K on August 18, 2022*

Unlike the headline, this keyboard is a lot better than it sounds. I bought this keyboard about a month ago and have used it almost everyday since. here is my 30 day review: initial impressions: when i pulled the keyboard from the box i had two main thoughts: 1. wow this thing looks gorgeous and 2. wow this thing is heavy. now it isn't crazy heavy, just way heavier than I expected. set-up: my laptop has BT capability (as i believe most are nowadays) and it was a breeze. took literally 60 seconds to connect. however, it does have the USB-C capability to directly plug in if needed too. the USB-C port is also how the keyboard charges. First week: initial use was good. i enjoy the "click-click" sound the keyboard makes, almost like an actual typewriter. if you are looking for a quiet keyboard, i do not recommend this. the keys light up when in use and only takes a second or two for the BT to kick back in when it hasn't been in use for hours/overnight, unlike some other BT keyboards. The slight gripe i have is that the keyboard is not ergonomic friendly. the keyboard is substantially "thicker" than most other keyboards and so it sits higher than usual. if i am typing for extended periods of time, i will begin to feel my wrists get tired. Nothing painful, just tired. After 1 month: keyboard is still going strong. so far haven't run into any issues that other than what i have commented on. my keyboard light up still works fine, no issues with the keys wearing down or connectivity issues. the battery went down to 40%, so decided to charge it. didnt take long at all, and i would expect the battery to last at least for a few months now that it is fully charged. the wrist-ergonomic issue is still there, but i've managed to just re-position the keyboard so its more comfortable. not perfect, but good enough. Overall assessment: its a pretty sick looking keyboard and if you have that "industrial - antique/rustic - cyberpunk" feel for your home office that you want to add to, then this is the keyboard for you. if you are just looking for a BT keyboard, then skip this. its expensive and heavy to transport, not to mention it isnt the most ergonomic friendly keyboard around. the price tag for this keyboard is more about its aesthetics than its functionality. Overall, i am happy with this purchase and would recommend it if you want a cool looking keyboard. Final grade: 4/5
