Retro Mechanical keyboard with red switches ? TW1867 review

Retro Mechanical keyboard with red switches ? TW1867 review
Wazzup everyone and welcome back to the channel. After my recent sensor panel review I got from mechdyi, today I'm gonna review another product from the mechdy website. As you have seen from the intro we are talking about a compact wireless mechanical keyboard but not an ordinary one, thanks to this retro Typewriter look .
The product is available in 3 colors, the black and wood that I will be reviewing today and we also have a pink and a white version. I chose the outemu red switches which is the one most popular among gamers but blue, brown and golden switch options are available too on the website. Also this is the white backlight version but there is an RGB version too.
But now follow me in this review!

Hello friends, which version and switches would you prefer? Let me know in the comments below and remember to use the 10% discount code in the video description if you intend to purchase this keyboard

[@chema3779]

Black or red

[@fgtechtips]

Red

[@nicholasmatthew9687]

This was a great review my friend, thank you! I think I’m going to order one these immediately. Im completely in love with what I see here. Seems like it will be absolutely perfect for leaving my laptop and home and turn my more light weight tablet into a great work computer during the week.

[@fgtechtips]

Thank you! Hope I'll like it

[@regina7236]

Thank you for the great video!! May i know is the switch 3 pin??

[@nicolastorterolo1800]

Sorry about the question but... how can I use less than/ greater than symbol on this keyboard? Thanks!

[@lakwatserong.palaka]

Do you have a user manual for this? I bought one, and there was no user manual included. And i cant fine any pdf file online… thanks

[@haotzeoom6667]

Did it fit in size and length with the Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 ultra?

[@marychrisgeraldino7289]

Hello! Can you please let me know how the metal rod works? I tried pulling the metal rod but it's not doing anything on the backlight? Please help. 🥹

[@WeroTimeProductions]

I night night 3 monthsand it just stopped charging. Any advice ?

[@roblyles303]

I'm having problems with connecting when I turn it off and back on

[@dominic.h.3363]

I'd love to have this in ISO! I translate between three languages with 37 unique letters between them, so every single key on the ISO keyboard is something I simply can not spare.

[@drjdesrosiers]

By chance, does the return key make a "ding" sound? It would be really cool if they somehow made that sound to give the feeling of the old manual typewriters.

[@fgtechtips]

Nope but I guess there is a way to configure it via some software

[@danastmusic]

@@fgtechtips If you use the FocusWriter software and turn on typing sounds you get exactly that. It's available for Windows, Macos and Linux. I have been using it for years.

[@fgtechtips]

Sure with external software it is possible but not "out of the box"

[@Kinobambino]

​@@danastmusic Thankyouuu

[@danielszymczewski9637]

I demo on how to switch between the paired devices?

[@narrativeninja]

sorry what switch is compatible with this keyboard? im planning to buy this the design is sleek

[@austro1675]

Planning on getting this with Kailh Box Switch Navy switches!

[@fgtechtips]

Nice !

[@marginbuu212]

Since the whole thing is angled up, I feel like the keys should also be angled so that they're flatter. Would make typing on them easier, in my opinion.

[@Ymills_21193]

I think the Angel is to make it more typewriter like since on an actual typewriter the keys are angled

[@haideesantiago6863]

Is it possible to turn off the backlight when typing?

[@fgtechtips]

yes it's possible. did you watch the video? it's shown in the first minutes

[@ffialhogmail]

Hi I bought one and it stopped recharging after 2 months of use do you know if the the battery is replaceable? Your keyboard seems to have a way of accessing the battery in the back my cover is flat. I ma very disappointed.

[@fgtechtips]

Hi mine is still working fine and yes the battery is replaceable in my case , it's a 3.7v 2000mah one. Probably you have a different model

[@LadyPinkilicious]

Do you think, it can be swtiched to azerty?

[@fgtechtips]

I think if you are able to find the proper caps it's no issue, it's then just a windows configuration then

[@sorchadeheer9871]

Mine won't work on Bluetooth mode. It has to be plugged into the computer.

[@fgtechtips]

Mine works fine in blurtooth with both android and Mac

[@alejandraortega9724]

Mine switches to a different language, i am not sure how to adjust it. any ideas

[@fgtechtips]

That must be the simple windows setting

[@kalo7123]

mine worked with lights last night on bluetooth mode, but today i plugged it into my pc and now the lights dont work, help pleaseeeee

[@fgtechtips]

Just increase their brightness as i show in the video

[@kalo7123]

@@fgtechtips i did and it doesnt work, however, if i use it on bluetooth mode it does work lol, weird!! but i still love this thing! thanks for the reply and amazing video sir.

[@MoarJellyThanYou]

1:54 Welcome

[@jesuslovesbass3944]

Nice video. Just one question. I was wondering if the keyboard can bluetooth connect to phone/tablet when it is wire-connected to PC. I assume it could, but you know what they say about assuming, right? Thanks.

[@fgtechtips]

Didn't do this test but I assume it can

[@jesuslovesbass3944]

I@@fgtechtips I received the keyboard today and did the test. Here's what I found out. If you plug the keyboard into into a USB data port, you can't BT connect to other devices. However, if you plug the keyboard into a USB charger, you can BT connect to the PC, phone, tablet with no problem.

[@cherylleatherwood4810]

how do i turn on the backlight

[@fgtechtips]

It's shown in the video

[@sherlynn7211]

Any idea how to unlock it!? No manual, I am locked up. ;, :/

[@fgtechtips]

What do you mean unlock it ?

[@rikard76gestrin]

Can you make it sound like an old typewriter?

[@fgtechtips]

Nope but I guess there is surely a software that does that

[@Versosurma]

chill with the cuts 1

[@Selvamaruthy]

Where to buy this

[@fgtechtips]

You find all information in the video description, it's easy. Link and discount code too

[@MakaylaChambers-vy2bu]

Why can’t I find mine in my Bluetooth list?

[@fgtechtips]

You have to enable it first with the combination keys

[@ee930]

What are combination keys?​@@fgtechtips

[@fgtechtips]

FN+R let you switch the keyboard from wired to wireless. While for the Bluetooth there should also be a button on the back as I show in the video

[@VinnocentFr0m3ngland]

I bought one of these but it arrived broken :(

[@fgtechtips]

They will surely refund you. It can happen with any product unfortunately

[@VinnocentFr0m3ngland]

@@fgtechtips we are in contact with customer service and we got it refunded. We bought another. It worked for 10 minutes then shut off, we tried charging it but I think it's an issue with the port because it's been charging for 3 days and still doesn't work.

[@craftynurs3434]

Hows the quality? Lots of horrible reviews on Amazon.

[@fgtechtips]

The fake wood is plastic but everything else is metal. No idea of the durability of the keys over time but still having no issues with it since the time i filmed this video

[@craftynurs3434]

@@fgtechtips thank you, I wasn’t sure if it would last.

[@tval3183]

​@@fgtechtips Do you know what company makes this model? If it is all metal (keys, base etc.), why are there plastic knock-offs out there (e.g., 7Keys) that use the same product number, as if theirs were made by the same manufacturer? At least the knock-off Querkywriter is (was?) called the "Quertywriter" so that those savvy enough to recognize the difference in spelling could know it wasn't the same product. With this one you have to have the knock-off in-hand to realize that most of it is plastic. I don't expect you to speak for the manufacturers but this is a kind of bait-and-switch that nobody seems to recognize or acknowledge. Thanks for the purchasing link!

[@tval3183]

@@fgtechtips My second reply didn't get posted but essentially even this product linked above is no longer metal.

[@fgtechtips]

Yes it's explained in the video at minute 4 you can see it in the specs and when I show the back of the keyboard: 7keys

[@AprilSummerlin-rd2uw]

I thought it was going to print with paper tf

[@oscarestrada8477]

Not worth It. Only works in wired mode. Bluetooth just wont set up

[@fgtechtips]

Works fine to me, as you can also see in my video as proof
