TYPEWRITER Inspired Keyboard and Mouse: A 3-Month Review (Azio Retro)

The Azio Retro Compact Keyboard (RCK) and Retro Classic Mouse (RCM) are my favourite mechanical peripherals that I've used so far. The typewriter-inspired design has been well adapted for the modern user - provided you can get used to the circular keycaps. In this video, I share my thoughts in more detail on both devices, as well as some suggestions for improvements. Thanks for watching!

IT WAS VERY IMPORTANT DE SOUND OF THE GAPS WHEN YOU PUSH THEM, AND THE DESCRIPTION OF THE SENSATION WHEN YOU PUSH THEM, THEIR TOUCH. THANK YOU. 👍.

[@Nicole-ku9yg]

Sadly the gunmetal finish in the series is being discontinued, so I had to scoop them up while I could. I love the look of these peripherals.

[@danielreel130]

I REALLY wish they had this exact color in the full keyboard version.

[@1OddGuiPi]

I just got the keyboard and mouse. So far it's been working pretty well.

[@jackberry]

It's a shame they discontinued this colorway...

[@cebukitty]

i've been using the exact same keyboard for more than 6 months now. no issues so far. i really love the rounded keys and the typing experience. with the included wrist rest, its one of the most comfortable keyboards i've ever used. my only nit is that it takes a while to pair the BT with the p.c. when starting the p.c. up for the first time. (BT mode) am hoping a new iteration of this keyboard will also make the keycaps replaceable.

[@JakeReevesVideo]

Thanks for sharing your experiences 👍 That's a good point about the BT pairing, it does take a little longer than some other keyboards I've tried. And yes, replaceable caps would be awesome, especially at this price point.

Did you have issues with key caps losing color?

[@cebukitty]

@@IH8Empos yep! some of my keycap letters have become fuzzy :(

[@acceilanonim7601]

@@cebukitty Hello! Can you tell plz, are these caps completly plastic or have metal border?

[@JakeReevesVideo]

It’s a plastic border that is coated to look like metal. Using it right now ✌️

Function keys 👍

Hi did you have issues with key caps losing color?

[@JakeReevesVideo]

Not yet, there could be a little discolouration around the edge on a few, but I have to look very closely to see it

[@LeoLiburon]

No forward and back on the mouse is crazy and deal breaker for me on it

[@JakeReevesVideo]

Ya, after having that on my MX 3 I really miss it everywhere else…

[@jaysunn445]
