Is This The Coolest Keyboard Yet?

2017-05-18
so I made a video recently about my new keyboard the keyboard that's on my desk right now and it's from this company as yo I've been loving using it this one is called the MK retro I've actually got a couple of them here there's three total and it's a typewriter style mechanical keyboard and you can see from the graphic here it's got these circular key caps it's a completely different concept clickety clack it's like a typewriter is it better I don't know first off what does it say a nostalgic classic reborn with modern innovations fit for composing literary masterpieces introducing the ICO m'kay retro the typewriter inspired mechanical keyboard okay cool we got it you think you can handle it handcrafted round key caps with clicky mechanical switches this one specifically is for Windows seven eight ten Vista if you're holding on what are you creeping around over there Tom I see you tiptoeing over there brother war is best shirt today let's let's open the box that's what you're here for it's what I'm here for we're all here for you look at this look at this this is how you'll write your masterpiece right here you get this you become Ernest Hemingway as you know that Jack that's all it takes just distracting me that's interesting look at that I pulled off one of the key caps accidentally but I've kind of cool Jack can get in there and show you what the switch looks like apparently these are modified blue key switches look at this okay so they're clack e these are those old-school clacking key caps clickety clackety considering the fact that they're circular and unusual I'm surprised at how even with mine there's also some function keys play pause multimedia this I like look at that that is a really cool implementation for elevating the back twist this and it they pop up or down see very nice they give you wrist pads you put that baby down there and then what I'll come back and get you in ten years never mind Ernest Hemmingway you're gonna be like Rip Van Winkle do you know who Rip Van Winkle is his name later Rip Van Winkle he falls asleep under the tree he wakes up he's been sleeping for what how many years like 50 years the world has changed he's got the beard well maybe you're not snoozing maybe you're hacking out your masterpiece but either way the beard is growing I'll come back and get you later because you got the wrist pad now you're comfy I mean it this time mr. Van der Donck I've got a good crop for the first time since Rob for the first time since Rob for the first time since Rob what are you read man Winkle alright but this is not the only one they make this one is the exact same but in white look at this I know some people that are really gonna be down with something like that holy smokes with the gold trim around the outside otherwise it's completely identical I mean it's white on the bottom has a white cable now the next is actually a little different an upgraded version classic edition our motto and this one is backlit embodies simplicity and purity and boldness and what are you doing here ooh I think I like this one the best I like this brushed look around the outside this volume wheel over here look at that I'm sure you could probably configure it for whatever these dedicated multimedia keys I like having them in this section over here these keys are added as well over here so pretty solid as far as like plastic clip out feet go not as nice with those feet though I will say wow look at that elegant and fierce that's actually the way I like to describe Jack right there he is both elegant and fierce this one will go here and you get the idea a key cap remover but the other ones include that No ooh does a little dance just to let you know it's booting up slow it lights up where you tap that's a cool mode I haven't seen that before unbox therapy whoa check this out so I can hand select the buttons that I want to glow kind of lights up around the key cap as opposed to through it you can see here this is like a kind of glowing pulsating situation this one is the whole board so the thing about any of these keyboards they're obviously unorthodox they're a throwback the main consideration here is definitely style you are stepping out of the usual design for a mechanical keyboard whatever suits your personal style you want to kick it old-school which one would it be for you which one is tickling your fancy so or tickling your fingertips see what I did with the keyboard thing
