Azio Retro Classic Bluetooth Elwood - Luxury Vintage Backlit Mechanical Keyboard, Brown/Grey (MK-RETRO-W-BT-01-US)

Excellent quality and exceeded my expectations!

Very pretty to look at and have at the desk, but boy was this a nightmare to work with. The backspace key keeps jamming despite very gentle treatment - overall just super clunky keys that don't perform well. Not a pleasurable typing experience, and for the cost, way, way overpriced. Returning this item.

I highly recommend this beautiful keyboard. Yes it's expensive but it's absolutely worth it, if you're going to get a luxury keyboard this is the one you should get. The look and the quality is perfect!

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

Ok so this is a little high to spend on a keyboard but the aesthetics and quality are certainly in abundance. The typing on classic style keys is very friendly and responsive once you get used to the changeover from the more modern style. For additional comfort if it is on the high side a pad helps relax the wrists. Lighting and overall look and responsiveness on the keyboard are wonderful.
