Qwerkywriter®, charging USB cable, and manual.
A nice keyboard, nice construction, I like the macro bar arm. Definitely gives it a typewriter feel. The keys are also quite retro and have a close approximation typewriter feel. However they don't quite make it because of the switch itself. But this is the closest your going to get with a switch configuration.
My only criticisms would be that you cannot change the switches, I understand why but it would of been nice if you could of had the hot swappable option. Lighter than I expected. I thought the keyboard itself would of been heavier. great for traveeling though. If the keyboard could have the option of buckling springs and the keys themselves could be made into a stepped configuration, It would definitely give the overall feel of an old school typewriter.
Still a nice option if your looking for that retro look and close feel but does lack a few things as stated above. However for all of that still a nice product.
Hope these considerations can be taken into account in the future.
The Qwerky Writer is a fantastic addition to my desk.
For my job, I am required to use two computers. [One computer I don't do much typing on.]
I also carry a smart phone which easily connects with the Qwerky Writer. The keyboard can connect up to 3 devices wirelessly and one device through a wired connection for a total of 4.
As to the connecting process, it is very easy. Note, I had to purchase Bluetooth adapters for my pcs.
Also, during start up there are some issues with the Qwerky Writer dropping the signal to the keyboard. This issue is not unique to the Qwerky Writer, it is just the nature of working with a Bluetooth Keyboard.
The classic aesthetics of the keyboard, is why most of us are here. It does not disappoint in that perspective. The hidden functionality, is also great.
I do find it a bit baffling that the "default" is to have the scroll on the left, and the volume on the right wheels. However, a quick "fn" + "w" changes that oversight.
The built in tablet stand is very nice. It has padding in the valley, but really no padding on the walls. If you use a bump case this is a non-issue. Just know there is a nice firm foam pad hidden in the tablet holder.
The keyboard has a nice weight to it. It doesn't shift while typing.
There are some cons, but it doesn't merit any removal of stars, since this is simply nitpicking issues:
1) They have the right shift key has been shortened dramatically.
2) There is no "insert" key, which is a blessing since that controls if typing either bumps over a letter or deletes it.
3) I don't know if I like having the "Home" "Pg Up" "Pg dn" "end" "(right arrow)" all in the same column. However, it does make sense to keep the footprint of the typewriter small.
Overall, the Qwerky Writer in gold, is the perfect addition to my desk. If you are at all on the fence, I recommend you "pull the trigger" I think you will be glad you did.
I looked for a long time to find a typewriter-style keyboard in the black and gold color palette. I could only find ones that only partially met my expectations (wrong color, bluetooth connectivity only, etc.). I came across the Qwerkywriter keyboard via social media and at the time, the keyboard was sold out. I was notified when they came back in stock and jumped on the chance to get one. While it's a hefty price for a keyboard, it is so worth it - I have no regrets! The only minor thing is that the left alt and Windows keys are switched, which has taken some getting used to; however, it's not enough to make me dislike the keyboard. I love that it can be plugged in or bluetooth connected and that the numkey addition means I get a full keyboard. The quality is fantastic, aesthetic is beautiful, and tactile/audio typing experience is enjoyable. I'm hoping to enjoy it for a long time, and it's really made me love typing again.
Howdy, I hope this doesn’t get posted anywhere and a human looks at it. I LOVE LOVE LOVE typing on this thing. Especially on the Hanx app. The only 2 things I’d say is that #1 Some of the longer keys (space, shift etc) have a slight bent/less than perfect edges at the bottom. #2 I’ve been typing for about a month or 2 and a few of the keys are already starting to fade a bit. Which I guess just mean it’s just personalized now :P
A 20th-anniversary gift from my husband; he knew I was eyeing this keyboard. I'm currently an MA student, and it has made research and typing much more enjoyable. (It takes me back to Mr. Marinelli's typing class in 6th grade.) I find myself working longer hours on my work because I find the keyboard experience enjoyable. (Even a little therapeutic.)
The "clicky" sound is oh-so-satisfying to experience, and the keys feel great to use. (Your co-workers will notice and will also love the sound.) Nothing feels flimsy or cheap. The keys are lightweight but also feel solid. The whole keyboard is hefty but not overbearing. I love the USB feature, so I can connect to my PC directly & charge it. Bluetooth is seamless and easily connects to my phone, iPad, and PC. The knobs and lever are able to be changed, but I kept them at default. Typing feels comfortable, and I added the wrist cushion for comfort. I also purchased the acrylic cover to keep both crumbs and dust off the board and protect the keys from potential accidental damage.
It looks great on my desk. This "Signature Edition" Black Gold Qwerkywriter keyboard stands out at my workstation. (Sexy!) It is sleek, adds a cool "wow" factor, and is definitely a conversation starter. Also, the acrylic cover adds another level of "sleek" to the overall look of the board. I won't go back to my other old keyboard ever again.

(I would love to see a separate 10-key sold here so that I could get rid of the one I currently use and have it match my awesome Qwerkywriter keyboard.)
