Where to buy: The Qwerkywriter S is available on Amazon or directly from Qwerkytoys. I’m not sure just how much I’ll actually use it with my MacBook, but I will be putting it on display as desk-art and conversation piece when not paired up with my tablet. Its built-in tablet stand makes it an excellent iPad Pro, stay on your desk wireless keyboard. I love its manual Remington typewriter, Ernest Hemingway vibe. The QWERKYWRITER® S comes in Pink, Mint, White, and Black. Its novelty and aesthetics might be lost on many in today’s modern world but I find it a definite keeper. I grant you the Qwerkywriter S is a bit of a niche device with a look, feel, and sound experience all its own. Qwerkywriter S is compatible with iOS, macOS, Android, and Windows and comes with a one year warranty. In addition to a variety of keyboard layouts, Qwerkytoys has recently announced that the Qwerkywriter S will also be available in Pink, Mint, and White. The Qwerkywriter S is available with US, UK, German (QWERTZ), French (AZERTY), Italian, Nordic, and Spanish key layouts. In addition to Bluetooth, you can physically connect the USB cable directly to your computer which enables you to type and charge the Qwerkywriter S concurrently. There is a 1,000mAh internal battery that Qwerkytoys promises keeps the Qwerkywriter operational on Bluetooth for approximately a month. The keyboard is recharged via a microUSB port. The power button is located on the back, rear right side on the keyboard. The Qwerkywriter S has dual function scroll knobs that control volume on the left knob and mouse scroll on the right knob. The carriage return lever comes preprogramed as the Enter function but I found myself using the standard Enter key on the right side of the keyboard 99% of the time. Qwerkytoys has engineered a programmable macro key that you really can’t miss…the large, chrome Return bar. I think the click sound these mechanical switches produce is cool/endearing but my wife did point out how much the “noise” irritated her when she was within earshot. ![]() The mechanical keys are Cherry™ MX “clicky” switches for that “ultimate tactile feedback” and sound experience. The keys are made from a hard black plastic with each symbol stenciled onto their tops. The keyboard is approximately 13″ x 7″ x 2.5″ and weighs in at just under 3 lbs. To contrast its black matte finish, the keys and other hardware have bright, shiny chrome accents. The aluminum chassis has a scratch resistant matte coating applied to it. The main body of the Qwerkywriter is made from a relatively thick, aluminum giving the keyboard a great heft to it. The right side has additional keys including page up/down, home, and the arrow keys. The Qwerkywriter S has a pretty standard layout with letter keys, modifiers, number row, and function row. But don’t let looks fool you, this keyboard has all of the functions and capabilities as any modern counterpart. The Qwerkywriter S isn’t what I would consider a full-sized typewriter but its key spacing/layout isn’t any smaller than the average laptop keyboard either. 3 times I have been approached by others when using it in public and I am pretty sure I sold one when they pulled up the site standing right there with me! Ha! they are "funky" yes, but they are also not a cheaply made novelty item either.The Qwerkywriter S is very well constructed from solid materials with a hardy utilitarian, World War II design to it. It is not silent when you type, but not obnoxious either. It has been durable, I found a small leather handbag at a thrift store I put the QWERKY in for transport. It's worth the regular retail price and if you are lucky you might find one used or on sale. The Qwerkywriter® S is a USB keyboard that looks and feels like an old-fashioned typewriter. The volume knob disguised as the paper advancer is smart as hell, kudos to that detail. I am old enough to appreciate the "return bar" being programmed as it is. How I have used it is at the coffee shop, on the weekend on the porch when I am relaxing or writing something other than work reports or business emails. I do not use it at work, it is not a direct replacement for everyday use for high functioning productive multi taskers. It feels perfect with my 10.5" iPad, and my Pixel 3 fits well in the notch too. ![]() It has perfect weight from the all metal construction. It has the "clicky-clack" of a mechanical keyboard. If you do ANY research about the product, you should not be surprised. Solid Funky Keyboard that is Fully Functional ![]()
