Review: A truly excellent keyboard. - The Azio Retro Classic is an excellent keyboard. This is my first mechanical keyboard, so I cannot compare it to others, but the fit, finish, feel, and sound all met my expectations. I first began to see similar retro or Steampunk keyboards about eight to ten years ago, when I hardly knew what Steampunk was. As a lover of Victorian literature, I have long been an admirer of Victorian aesthetics, and while this is hardly Victorian, it definitely has that “vibe” of something that could have been. On that score, I have no complaints about the appearance of the Retro Classic, which I purchased in the Elwood version. It certainly feels like real wood, and looks wonderful. The tactile experience is wonderful, and it is certainly more clicky than your average keyboard. I love typing on this thing, and it feels quite nice. I read many of the reviews before purchasing, and noticed that some complained of wrist pain. I am not an expert typist by any means, but if you are experiencing pain while using this or any other keyboard, it could very well be poor typing habits. Wrist-pads or wrist-rests are not necessary, as your wrists should be elevated to roughly the same height as your fingertips while you are typing. So please do yourselves a favour and learn good typing habits! It may well prevent early development of carpal-tunnel syndrome. I am not a gamer, so I cannot comment on its use in that manner, but as a writer, it is really something special, especially compared to the typical rubber-dome type keyboards that are so common these days. There really is no comparison between a mechanical keyboard and a rubber dome keyboard; it is superior in every way, excepting, perhaps, cost. But if you type a lot, it is a worthy investment. Indeed, the cost is what held me back from mechanical keyboards for so long. I have been eyeing the buckling spring, IBM Model M style keyboards from Unicomp for years, but could never really justify the cost. When Datamancer began to produce retro-inspired keyboards about a decade ago, it became something of a dream to own one, but they cost hundreds of dollars, and as beautiful as they are, I simply could not justify spending that kind of money on a keyboard, regardless of beauty and quality. When I saw the Azio Retro Classic, I balked at the price; let’s face it: 189.99 for a keyboard is pretty pricey. But I decided to shell out the cash and give it a try. And I am glad I did! A word about Azio’s customer service. As a longtime Linux user, I rather dislike having the Microsoft Windows logo on my keyboard. After reading reviews and watching several video reviews—many of the latter for the Bluetooth version—I was rather expecting the USB version I bought to come with the alternative Mac key caps; it did not. I had hoped to swap out the Windows hotkey for the Mac CMD key cap. So I e-mailed Azio Customer Support and expressed my disappointment as a Linux user to not have another option for the Windows logo on the hotkey and asked if they would be willing to send me a set of the Mac key caps included with the USB version. Firstly, I am not fond of wireless keyboards for security reasons, one of the very reasons I use Linux to begin with. A few days after writing them, they responded that they were happy to help and would try to get this request approved for me, and would send me a tracking number when they shipped. In addition, they asked which distribution of Linux I am using so they can attempt to offer support for Linux in the future. True to their word, four days later they sent me a tracking number and I received them the following Monday. They sent a whole set of Mac key caps, and I happily swapped out the Windows logo key for the Mac key. Not being a Mac user, I can’t say if the USB version, even with the Mac key caps, would work as well as the Bluetooth version which has a switch for Windows or Mac. True, the Bluetooth version can be used wired, but unless you wish to use it with Bluetooth, it is an added expense. But then, Mac products have always been more expensive than PC products. I would suggest to Azio that they offer these with a more generic hotkey key cap to begin with. For one thing, the “retro vibe” of these keyboards almost demands something more generic than a Windows logo; this could be something as simple as a large asterisk. I daresay both Mac and Windows users could easily determine what it is they are looking at. Personally, I think some kind of a sprocket or wheel logo would be a good option for the hotkey. All of that said, this is an excellent keyboard, and I imagine that both those experienced with mechanical keyboards and those who are not would be more than pleased with this, if you are looking for a keyboard that is both aesthetically pleasing and functional. I will also add that if you are at all worried about the round keys, don’t be. I had no trouble adjusting straight off and honestly cannot tell a difference. If anything, I seem to type better, though that could admittedly just be my imagination and admiration for a superior keyboard, which this definitely is.
Review: Works almost as well as it looks :) - I searched long and hard to find a keyboard that wasn't too expensive, looked like it was part of my office, and worked well. This one covered a lot of those bases. My cats also enjoy the keyboard too (but only when I am using it apparently). After a few weeks of writing, messing around, and using it normally I can say it looks nice than it works. Sometimes I feel like I use the backspace a LOT because the keys don't always feel consistent, or repeatable. This keyboard looks and feels so naturally hefty that I will learn to cope with the keys. Maybe they will break in well, or I might have to learn how to lube the switches. Speaking of switches, these are NOT hot-swap-able. The are proprietary to Azio. The key's LED light is dead center of the switches. The space bar even has a light, but there is no text for it shine through. The keys themself feel really nice and natural to rest your fingers on. The surround looks like metal, but it is plastic with metal screws holding it on. The little nameplate is also plastic, but looks like metal. The wood is obviously a veneer, but doesn't feel like it or look like it. I personally do not like the delay of a wireless keyboard (Bluetooth or WiFi). The chord for this is also very nice. Cloth covered and long enough (I can always use longer USB chords, but this one is long enough). I am not a keyboard enthusiast but can't help but recommend this keyboard to anyone that needs a very nice looking keyboard and is willing to get used to the widely spaced keys, inaccurate repeatability, and steep price-tag.

## 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Gorgeous keyboard, delighted with look, feel, and ease of setup
*by F***I on May 31, 2021*

Gorgeous keyboard, delighted with look, feel, and ease of setup (tech writer/copy editor) 1. Packaging sleek and protective, gives a great first impression. 2. Keyboard is heavy and sturdy. I was torn between the white and black versions of this design, but I am a tech writer and copy editor by trade, so I need something that can take daily abuse and still look good. As other reviews noted, the gold frame around each key is plastic, but I am experiencing no issues. The adjustable height gives a few millimeters of range. I enjoy the touch and sounds of the keys. 3. I purchased the USB keyboard, so no Bluetooth and no battery. Plug and play; everything functions as expected (Windows 10). I have yet to open the manual, but I am not using the keyboard for gaming or anything elaborate. CTRL, ALT, WIN and other shortcut command keys all work. I love my job; typing on this beautiful keyboard makes work just a bit more awesome every day.
