    So much fun. Really enjoyed that. I have found that I like the clickity blue switches on a keyboard. I have an ergonomic mechanical keyboard with blue switches attached to my work computer. Glad I work from home because the noise could potentially drive others insane.

    They should give you a choice of switch. Not everyone wants loud clicky blue switches. I myself prefer brown.

    How does it hold up under larger scale typing sessions, compared to a standard laptop keyboard? Is it wide enough that it doesn't cramp your fingers? Any other comments on its ergonomics?

    • @JustMyTypewriter

      Actually, historically the prices of many goods have been artificially low, because factory workers have been paid peanuts. When people are paid decent wages for design, testing, manufacturing, and production, the prices of things will naturally increase. As more and more people start learning, studying, and improving their skills fewer will be willing to work in factories for pennies a day. Personally, I have had my wired L100 Dell keyboard for over 7 years. It still works fine. In retrospect, I think it was worth a few hundred dollars at time of purchase based on the years of service it has given me while other more modern keyboards have come out and worn out during that time. As Grant Cardone says, "It isn't that it costs too much; the case is that you need to make more money." Thank you for the review, Just My Typewriter, I can't wait to unbox the 2.0 Aluminum version. I hope it comes in a box as nice as the one you received. It is really exciting that designers are looking at the market and trying to create aesthetic and functional items to improve our life experience.

    I still use an IBM Selectric II and I just ordered a Yunzii B308 typewriter keyboard because after ending a bad marriage last year I'm finally about to date again and I've been chatting with cute boys i.e. my prospects after my workday is over and ... all that typing on my tiny phone screen was taking a toll on my fingers lol. I'm going to check out more of your videos! Are you also into postal mail? Here's a vlog about tryng to repair my former Vancouver (2nd home city) typewriter, Perséphone, and having to end up rehoming her. I now have a new one called Usagi Tsukino ❤ua-cam.com/video/V6rOsEDgKO4/v-deo.html

    Love the look, but my concern is how does it compare to other mechanical keyboards? I'm not a gamer, but a writer thinking of going mechanical due to the supposed improvement in the flow and ease of writing. Especially regarding the feel and sound of the keys. How much push back is there? Are they firm or mushy? For people who love their mechanical keyboards it's important to know if the back of the unit (I would think so) can be opened so that some aspects of the key sounds can be altered or dampened. (This would help with the sharper metallic sound of that spacebar on the Querkywriter too). Also do you know if the key switches (not the key caps) are soldered onto the circuit board or are they swappable? (This is important if you like brown instead of blue switches). Thank you!

    • @JustMyTypewriter
      @JustMyTypewriter  Рік тому

      They are replaceable. It does not have a ton of resistance. There is a shot of the underside of the keyboard where you can see the battery component. It is not designed to be heavily altered by the user.

  • @noazark1914
    @noazark1914 10 місяців тому +3

    After watching some reviews as this I bought this, but a white one with blue switch.
    I'm quite happy with it so far but the type feels quite (a little too) light, and the spacebar has a bit of tinging sound (can't explain it...)
    Still the beauty conquers all, so I like it for myself.
    Any retro-lovers will enjoy this!

    If you own some of those antique typewriters (Such as the old Royal's, Olympia, Remington, etc. typewriters from the early early to mid 1900's), you can get a "USB Typewriter Conversion Kit" to turn a real antique typewriter into a USB compatible keyboard for roughly $180ish.
    ((This is the first video i've seen from you, so if you have already done a review of something similar i apologize, but it would be neat to see a review on something like that.))

    Glad they took the number pad away, its not needed. Barely anybody uses that.
    What is lame though is that you cant scroll up or down with one of the knobs. Atleast the qwerkywriter does that.
    Also i dont like the gold accents. Should have kept it silver or mettalic to match the key caps.

    • @JustMyTypewriter
      @JustMyTypewriter  Рік тому

      I agree regarding the scrolling- I think I'm willing to trade that off for the backlight, but a lot of those elements are up to personal preference
