AI SUMMARY

Reviewers love the typewriter click, the working carriage lever and how the tablet slot turns an iPad into a writing machine. Many bought it as a gift and mention the leather case. A few say it sits tall, so the wrist rest helps, and that the click is loud in a shared bedroom.

  • Satisfying click
  • Lever hits Enter
  • Great gift

  1. Hannah R.Verified buyer10-18-26

    I opened it in the car. Couldn't wait.

    Picked it up from the post office and opened the case right there. The box alone feels like a gift. It's now the first thing I see at my desk every morning and I actually look forward to sitting down.

  2. Marisol D.Verified buyer10-17-26

    Got it for my boyfriend, now I want one

    He writes screenplays and has typed on a laptop for ten years. He pulled the lever like five times before typing anything. It hasn't left his desk since.

  3. Jenna K.Verified buyer10-16-26

    My daughter does her spelling on it now

    Bought it for my own journaling and my 8-year-old took over homework time. She says it feels like a real typewriter. The click is satisfying without being obnoxious.

  4. Claire B.Verified buyer10-14-26

    My iPad finally has a home

    I write on my iPad most mornings. It sits upright in the slot, I pair by Bluetooth and that's it. Switching to my laptop is one press of the right knob.

  5. Derek M.Verified buyer10-12-26

    The lever really is Enter

    I assumed it was decoration. It's not. Pulling it at the end of a paragraph is ridiculous and I love it. Remapped two keys in VIA for my Mac in about five minutes.

FAQ

Questions Before You Type.

Will it work with my Mac, iPad or PC?

Yes. It connects to Mac, Windows, iPad, iPhone and Android by Bluetooth, by the included 2.4G receiver or by the USB-C cable. Press the right knob to hop between your paired devices.

Is it loud?

It has a crisp, clicky typewriter feel, closer to a real typewriter than a laptop. Most people love it for focus. If you share a room at night, the switches are hot-swappable, so you can fit quieter ones later.

Is the lever just for looks?

No. Pull the carriage lever and it presses Enter. The left knob controls volume and the right knob switches devices and scrolls.

Will my tablet fit in the slot?

The slot holds a phone or a tablet upright while you type. Very thick rugged cases may need to come off first.

How do I charge it?

It has a 4000mAh rechargeable battery and charges with the included USB-C cable. You can keep typing while it charges, or leave it plugged in as a wired keyboard.

Can I change what the keys do?

Yes. It supports QMK and VIA, so you can remap keys, add layers and set macros from your browser. Mac and Windows layouts are both supported.

Is it a good gift?

It ships in a brown leatherette typewriter-case box with brass clasps and a handle, so it is ready to give as it is. Every order also includes the free Writer's Starter Set.

How long does shipping take?

Orders ship in about 2 days and arrive 7 to 10 days after you order. Shipping is free and tracking is emailed when it ships.

What if it's not right for me?

You are covered by our 30-day money-back guarantee. Not the right feel? Email us within 30 days of delivery and we will arrange the return and refund the full price to your original payment method. Every keyboard also has a 1-year warranty.
