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.

Great keyboard with an oversight.

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.

Azio Keyboard Review

I bought this keyboard for myself ($186), after seeing it reviewed online. After owning it now for almost two months, I can say that I am quite pleased with it.
It has "heft" to it (in a good way), the keys are clickety clackey (which is the main reason I purchased it), but not too loud, and the keys themselves have a nice tactile response / feedback. Also the quality of the materials used and the overall fit & finish of the keyboard is quite nice.
This keyboard helps me to slow down and enjoy typing.
In response to some of the negative reviews of this keyboard in regards to its use for gaming - it's not designed for gaming nor is it marketed as such. Use a gaming keyboard for gaming.
If you are into high-quality retro mechanical tactile "clicky" keyboards, I highly recommend this keyboard.

Stays charged for a very long time, I have not charged it since I got it. Gives it a very classic look, especially by the sound of the keys. Love it!

Love the Retro key board. This key board is built to last and the old round keys bring the olds days back and for some one my age it's nice. The blue tooth connection is great and the back lighting makes low light use easy.

I absolutely love the aesthetics of the keyboard. It compliments my Mac mini and Harman Kardon III speakers.
Unfortunately BT connectivity seems to be an issue. The keyboard would constantly go out of sync. I tried troubleshooting and called azio. Unfortunately nothing seemed to work. I thought about doing a RMA on the unit but it works fine with the USB cable so I've just been using it like that.

When I received this and opened it I was stunned. It’s packaged like a LV purse. The warranty card is made from leather, everything looks so beautiful. No issues with BT or with the keyboard at all. I love it

There is just something satisfying about the tactile switches, the clicks, the round aesthetic. The switches on the back make it super functional and great to switch between Windows and macOS devices, and having the extra keycaps is super helpful. No regrets.

Before you buy this keyboard, you have to be in love with it first, which I was. The build quality is top notch. I've been using this keyboard at my job, every weekday since October 2019. It still works as if it's day 1. Because the keys are round, there's a little less surface area for your fingers, but they're spaced just the same way as a regular keyboard. I haven't had problems typing and I'm a big guy with huge hands. The keys are mechanical so they'll sound loud if you aren't used to mechanical keyboards. Overall, it's a great keyboard that's worth the price for it's looks, Bluetooth and USB C charging/connection.

"E" key stopped working after six weeks. Manufacturer is charging to return. Not worth the fancy keys or the wood styling. Go with a Razer instead.

Loud, small keys makes typing tough
Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
I was really looking forward to this keyboard. It's very nice looking but that's about it. The keys are small and close together. I wanted to use this keyboard when working from home but when I practiced typing on it today (before even connecting it), I realized how clumsy my fingers were and how very loud the keys are as you type. This keyboard is super cute, but I wouldn't recommend it for daily use. Sadly, I am returning it. Way too pricey to not be functional.
