Typewriter Mechanical Keyboard

I have for years used brand name ergonomic keyboards and have the same problem of the padding disintegrating and the lettering on the keys wearing off. So, I started looking at a lighted keyboard (key issue) and something that would work for a gel wrist pad that I received as a present (I really just wanted the mouse pad). I found the MageGee as reasonably priced keyboard that had cool retro styled keys (similar to the first typewriter that I learned to type on!). I wanted a lighted keyboard, because my home office desk is a bit dark in the evening/early morning and thought this might be a good solution. I ordered the keyboard, and it arrived three days later. Standard packaging with no issues. Pulled the keyboard out and swapped old keyboard out, did not have any computer compatibility issues. It took me a bit getting used to the keys and multicolored lights. Good directions on how to change the backlight effects (just wanted something simple). I have now been using this keyboard now for about three weeks and really enjoy the feel, sound of the keys and the lighted keys! Good quality and works like it should!

This is such an awesome little keyboard. It's easy to hook up via USB to your computer. It's a plug-and-play type. It does take a second to turn on with all the lights when plugged in, but it's great. A coworker showed this to me in their office, and I had to get one. I love the feel of the keys and the sound as I type. It's not really long-nail girlie-friendly, but that is fine with me. I have no issues with shorter nails. The design is comfortable. it just needs a little gel pad for your wrists and lets me type at my normal pace with zero issues. I use it for school work and normal day-to-day computer tasks on my MacBook Pro. Im still testing out all the light functions and different settings but love that it is interective to typing and love the colors under the keys.

I have had this keyboard for years and I get so many compliments on it! Love the sound it makes and the look of it.

One thing: This keyboard is NOT FOR GAMING!! There is a learning curve to typing with the round keys. Personally I feel like the keys themselves are not indented enough but it's something that can be overcome in most cases. After a few months I am finally able to accurately play games on it. It's great for typing it has amazing tactile feel and sound. When I first unboxed it I was really bothered by the fact that some of the letters are not centered on the keys but after a few months of owning the keyboard it doesn't bother me anymore. The only thing that can make it better is a wireless version of this keyboard preserving the light functions. If you're on the edge about it, JUST BUY IT. Its the ONLY one on amazon that is this design, color, and has matching cable, with all the cool light functions. (Trust me i looked.. FOR A MONTH)

I have bought 3 of these from 2 vendors for myself the people in my office. I was pleased with every except it not being RGB where I could control the color, but it was no big deal. The keyboards seem to function well at first. The second keyboard lasted about 2.5 months and the person stopped using it saying that it was glitching. I assumed it was user error so I stored it and thought nothing of it. The first one lasted about 6 months. As I tried to sign in to another computer in my office I got locked out of my account due to failed password attempts. I knew I was pressing the right keys for the password after checking the password I noticed the some keys I pressed added a different character along with the one pressed (like when pressing the 1 key I would get [1=] or pressing the A key I would get [a']) I later concluded that all keys one the left side would also add a character from the right side and vice versa. It was definitely malfunctioning but I felt it was just a one bad keyboard. After pulling the second purchased back out . I let some one else use it and it was retuned due to malfunctioning. The one I was using was my 3rd purchase. It lasted almost a year with no issues until I tried to sign in to my account and failed a few time and I checked and found a similar issue to the 1st one, but the characters weren't the some and it was not the same keys (like pressing E and T keys I would get[ep] and [tp] pressing 1 would get [1+]). I enjoyed the keys and the function of the light and was always getting compliments on the keyboard, but the malfunctions made them unusable. I had a 5 star experience with them unit the issue. The was nothing wrong with the keyboard I was using before for years I only changed because I saw the keyboard and thought it was cool and be nice to have, and it was, until...

This keyboard is beautiful!!! First off, the keys click and feel like a typewriter except that you don't have to type too hard on it. It is kind of loud which I love as it adds to the feeling of a typewriter. It works so well and there is no lag. It also lights up which is extra for me but it makes it more encouraging to use. I'm not supposed to work from home but this keyboard just makes me LOL I don't even feel like I'm working because I feel so happy using it! The extra wrist support it came with helps because the keys sits a bit high. Just wish that it has magnets so it stays in place although it doesn't really move around so it's not really an issue and I have a large pad underneath it. I tried several pics to show the true color. The attached pics are the closest I could get. Purple is my favorite color and I'm so in love with this keyboard!!! It checked all the boxes for me!!!

This is super cute as pink is my favorite color. The clicking and clacking of the keys takes you back in time as it truly does sound like a typewriter. The more it clicks the more you feel as though you're really being productive and hashing away at those administrative to-dos. Update: After having this keypad for about 5 months it stopped working. No rhyme or reason just clonked out. I am not happy about that. I have to find a replacement. With that being said I would advise anyone not to purchase this keypad...waste of money

Pros: love the clickity clacks of the keyboard. It makes typing fun, which also makes my daytime job less miserable. The lights are awesome. I get many compliments from co-workers and students who visit the office. It has a nice size and isn't too bulky or heavy. Cons: I wish the keys weren't so easy to press down on. I often type too many letters at a time because of how easy the keys can be pressed. The letters are difficult to read, so I don't recommend this to those needing to find keys while typing. The lights and keys look much better with dim lighting. If you're stuck in a brightly lit office, you won't get that same excitement of watching the lights flash. I'm a little over a month out from purchase and a couple of keys randomly stop working. This is occasional, but very inconvenient when trying to get work accomplished. Lastly, I don't understand the point behind the wrist rest. It's uncomfortable. I would buy this again, but definitely not in baby pink and I may try a different seller as well. I'm sad that it wasn't exactly what I was expecting, but it's most certainly not bad! I think it's worth the purchase. I may have just gotten a defective keyboard.
