Knewkey keyboard for ipad8/28/2023 ![]() ![]() When that happens, the next few keystrokes were lost while it woke up and reconnected with the computer. In Bluetooth mode, the keyboard fell asleep too quickly. We often - well, often enough to be annoying - accidentally hit the Caps Lock key when going for Shift or A, possibly because our usual keyboard leaves some extra space around Caps Lock while the Rymek's is spaced the same as all the other keys. KnewKey is considering a slimmer design for a follow-up model. That might not sound a lot, but in our case getting comfortable meant raising the chair to a point where our legs only just fit under the desk. That retro styling means the keyboard is much thicker than we've become accustomed to, and depending on exactly where you measure the keys are around 15mm higher than our usual keyboard. Indiegogo backers also receive a soft nylon cleaning brush to remove dust from the keyboard (the glossy black finish plus backlighting makes any debris quite apparent) and a keycap puller – though it's not difficult to remove the keycaps, as we discovered when we had to swap the + and – keys that had been reversed at the factory.Īs much as we liked the Rymek, it does have some drawbacks. If you prefer to save a few dollars, a version with Gateron Blue switches is US$99/US$199. The full price will be US$229 plus shipping. This version is currently available for US$119 plus shipping (warning: this is a fairly heavy product, so shipping will likely be pricy) via Indiegogo. If you don't like an audible click, MX Brown switches are an option. The (pre-production?) sample we received uses the well-regarded Cherry MX Blue key switches that provide a very retro and pleasant typing experience for those who have been using computers since the 70s or 80s. ![]() ![]() Your reviewer is notoriously hard on keycaps, and his keyboards have been known to show signs of wear after as little as a week's use – but that was not the case with the Rymek. The keycaps are moulded from a slightly translucent white plastic with an opaque, bronze coloured skin. Unlike real typewriters, the Rymek has backlights under each key, and a row of lights above the keys echoes the appearance of typebars. ![]()
