i really love how this keyboard looks but wasnt sure on the quality and honestly im clueless when it comes to keyboards, so thanks for reviewing this one!
nice video. :) I'm not a typist, so fancy-shmancy keyboards are lost on me. Some days I hunt more than I peck, other days I peck more than I hunt. In the end it's 20WPM on a good day. I did not like the LED siezure-trigger system built in to the keys. I'm sure that it has a place in some dystopian future of ours, but not just yet. In other news, I just got an old Virgin Webplayer: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virgin_Webplayer I'll probably just leave it alone hardware-wise and run VICE and MAME on it. We'll see.
I'm guessing the flickering keyboard LEDs is mostly an artifact of the camera frame rate, and it probably looks like a solid glow in real life? I've seen that a few times at least.
@@batlin My previous desktop had a string of lights that pulsed slowly, sort of in the Chinese water torture type of way. They got stuffed into a handy plastic packing tube that was left over after some parts arrived and did not trouble me any longer. :)
@@MrWaalkman oof! Yes, I've seen some truly obnoxious "gaming" LED setups. I find keyboards tend to be less distracting because I don't look down at mine and it's not super bright. But an apparently small difference can quickly become distracting for sure. Actually we have an old Macbook in the bedroom with a pulsing white power LED when it's asleep, which often prevents me from being asleep. When I notice it, a sock quickly ends up thrown over it to at least dim the light...

I have some lofree keyboards, all is perfect)
How did you solve the wireless connection issue?
I sold the keyboard ;-)
Not bad but... Those orange dials kind of spoil the retro feel. Also, i would prefer edit key section (home, delete,..) to numeric keypad.
appreciate this breakdown!
Thanks!

Nope. Real flicker!
@@RetroWK ahh, that's a bit nasty then... I don't mind the "slowly pulsing" type but proper flicker would be really distracting!
