YUNZII B703 Retro Typewriter Keyboard,75% Mechanical Keyboard, Bluetooth&Wired 84-Key Gaming Keyboard with Round Keys, Rotary Knob Integrated Stand for Windows/Mac (Outemu Red Switch, Black)

Son loves the retro look and the sound of the keys. He's very happy with this purchase

When I bought this I wasn't expecting too much, due to its price and looks. However, I got more than I expected.It is a joy to write on this keyboard. Coupled with an iPad or an Android tablet, and it really feels like you're doing real productivity work instead of just casual browsing. The knobs that double as Bluetooth selectors/volume knob are a nice touch.The keys are soft to the touch, a little clicky, but they don't feel cheap at all. There are a couple of keys with bits of plastic overhangs here and there, but nothing to detract from the experience. I'm not completely sure if it is really mechanical or a mecha-dome one since I haven't opened it up, but it feels sturdy enough to make me think it is real.However, what makes this keyboard really great is the looks. I have had more than my fair share of people admiring my keyboard, with an iPad propped against it like it was a (very stiff) stack of sheets of paper.

I purchased the brown switch keyboard in ivory. It came with a couple colored key caps to switch out with the tool necessary to do that, 20 different light modes, clear instructions and the simplest setup imaginable. It just works! I had no issue getting it connected via bluetooth on Mac. I am impressed with the quality and value. Worth it!

The media could not be loaded. Initial experience:Really like this board for more than just its looks! Some really nice features and functions well. I got the navy with brown switches.Dials:The round dials on the side are super convenient for switching between devices and adjusting volume (especially if you have your laptop/device on a stand). Was not expecting to like these features as much as I do.RGB:The RGB backlighting is fantastic with decent pattern options, four levels of brightness and speed. My favorites are the individual keys lighting up when you type and the soft-moving glow ones.The backlighting will go to sleep with inactivity (maybe 2 or 3 minutes) which I appreciate. And when I press a button after not having used the board for a while/backlights off, there are no missed inputs.Battery:So far the battery life has been good, I've only charged it once but have lightly used it (approximately 1 hr a day for two weeks with rgb on). There's a low battery light in the front right corner which I appreciate too.The silver tablet/phone holder:holds my iPhone 12 Max in a Speck slim Gemshell grip case standing up and sideways (as long as it’s not the side with the camera bump) at a good viewing angle.Pairing:Pairs instantly upon turning on and starting or opening my laptop. And switches to my preprogrammed devices seamlessly so far with just one slight twist of the left dial. There’s a blue light for each device option so no remembering function key combos. I’m using a mid 2015 MacBook Pro and iPhone 12 Max for reference.All the function keys that I’ve tried so far have worked with my Mac as well.Keycaps:The ABS plastic keycaps (I’m assuming) that come on the board are just a bit too slippery for me and got greasy real quick. There’s a decent amount of space between them too which was a bit of an adjustment to get used to when typing but they look like an old typewriter which is cool.I did decide to switch out the keycaps on the 60% part (not the top function keys) with white PBT shine through low profile caps and I have no regrets. They have a better texture that doesn’t really get greasy and I like the white contrast with the navy. And yes, I had the board turned off when pulling off/putting on the caps, I took progress pics with RGB on to see if I was going to like the low white caps.It's incredibly hard to find PBT material that’s both shine through and low profile so here’s the best option I could find and so far they’re great:XVX PBT shine through low profile keycaps https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B49FLN6K?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1The keycaps had all the Mac keys I needed too. And there’s no issue with the shorter stems of the keycaps with functionality. The shorter travel is actually nicer to type for me. It’s less of a transition from my MacBook’s keys.Switches:The Gateron Brown switches have a nice tactile feel and I had no problem removing them from the PCB/casing as another reviewer mentioned. I actually had the opposite problem a bunch of times. While taking off the keycaps, the switches came out with them (see picture). This is my first time replacing keycaps so technique could contribute but it was super easy overall.

I was looking for an external keyboard to attach to my phone and/or my tablet. However, I wanted one I could stick in a suitcase and use from my motel bed if necessary. Unfortunately, this keyboard is too heavy to stick in a suitcase. I have to say that the heaviness of the keyboard is the only criticism I have. As a keyboard for your home it is just wonderful. It connected flawlessy to both my tablet and cellphone. The keys are well spaced and give feedback via the "push" of the key and the clacking sound. I had to think long and hard before returning this item. I really liked it, but have nowhere to store it in my house. So, reluctantly, I packaged it up. I did use it in bed and it is sturdy enough to support either choice in its built in slot. If you are looking for an external keyboard at home to make your tablet/cellphone to feel more like a computer, I can't recommend it enough.

The media could not be loaded. There are a few downsides…I was REALLY looking forward to this keyboard as, I already have the previous model from the same brand.I'm happy to report, overall I love it.At first I was underwhelmed but, after a couple months I felt compelled to update my review.The bottom plate doesn't seem to have a quality sound absorbing foam sheet and the springs are quite loud.For context, I purchased the RGB white PRO 75% keyboard (without the number pad) with brown switches for typing purposes.As long as you have some noise going on in the background, the spring noise shouldn’t outweigh the nice tactile bump this keyboard provides. At the current going rate, I honestly had high hopes. If you are a keyboard snob and don't mind the spring noise, you will enjoy this!Note: I attached a video of the spring noise I’m referring to. Please ignore the heavy breathing lol 😮‍💨

i think its a very nice keyboard with creamy clicking sounds. perfect to work at college or home especially on an ipad, just wondering if you can turn the backlight down? if anyone can help :)

The media could not be loaded. I was taking a part in NaNoWriMo for the first time and I promised myself that if I write 50k words in November I will reward myself with one of Yunzii keyboards (originally I was planning to buy the mint B303 one, but! on black Friday this model's price dropped down to 67 pounds so even though I was only half way through the challenge I bought it (I was good and I didn't open that until i reached 45k words to write my last 5k using this nice typewriter style keyboard!OMG I love it! Set up was a piece of cake - in less than 5 mins I have connected my laptop, my phone and my iPad (and it took my 5 cos I had to grab my staff from different parts of my house).I love the click-y sound when I type! I love those flashing lights (20 options) it's just perfect.Battery - I am using it 10 days now and I didn't even fully charge it from the moment I opened the box (not even once plugged in) on average of 2 hours a day - so I say pretty decent!It is a solid keyboard - I was surprised how heavy it is - it is plastic but doesn't give you this cheap impression. It's honestly great quality!I would buy it again.Oh! and the tablet holder! It's really good! when you check on the Rymek keyboard the holder looks wobbly but this Yunzii keyboard is just perfect. it holds my 9.7'' iPad perfectly, no wobbles. If you think of buying this type of keyboard I do recommend this one!Edit: I forgot about one thing which can be a downfall for some people. The keys setup is not typical UK one. I don’t mind it as I write in Polish, so I am used to this. But you might find it confusing at the start.

Fits my 12.7 inch tablet with a little room left over. It isn't the best tablet stand though, it needs to be a little higher.Volume control knob is a good featureLights have a good range of brightness levels.Easy enough to set up.

It's a good size keyboard, slightly smaller than a TKL with blue backlight and a few pre-installed effects.This keyboard has really good battery life and it connects well and stays connected :)I did change my switches to creamy ones and custom keycaps.This shop has good customer service as well, if you have any issues with it, shop with confidence!

Okay, so while this is hotswappable, there are a few caveats:1: A standard switch puller doesn't work with this. I was wondering why they included a tiny screwdriver with this since the case can't be opened (more on that later) but it was apparently meant to remove the switches. The top plate overhangs a bit on the switches making it pretty impossible to get the top clip. You basically have to leverage the switch from the bottom to release it, which is risky cos you might snap pins.2: New keycaps work, BUT with anything other than the custom F-Row, it looks weird, meaning you need to get a set that goes with them. Personally, I couldn't use the keycaps that came with it because they're pretty cheap plastic, they feel sticky and shiny and not at all quality compared to PBT caps3: You can change the RGB, but only to specific presets, of which there is no static option. Everything is pulsing or rainbow and if you're like me and you find that distracting, you're shit outta luck!4: Okay, this one is on me, but the keyboard is currently sitting in my back garden, wrapped in a fire blanket for the night and it's going to electronics disposal in the morning. The board is impossible to open because the top plate is clipped tight and the screws are underneath the kickstands on the back. I knew this, but tried prying it open anyway, and after getting 90% of the way through, I pierced the battery and had to evacuate. Thankfully no injuries and minimal exposure, but it is worth mentioning so that no one else tries this.This board is not mod friendly. You will not be able to open it, or tape it, or adjust the top plate which has zero flex. You are lucky it's even possible to hotswap this, and even that is very limited.If you're okay with using this as standard, it's fine, but there are definitely cheaper options. If you're hoping to mod it to the same standard as other hotswap keyboards, this is not for you.
