My New Favourite Keyboard: Qwerkywriter S Review
This is the QWERKYWRITER Typewriter-Inspired Mechanical Keyboard, which, although missing the type bars and somewhere to insert an A4 sheet, has the look, feel, and sound of a bygone age entwined with Bluetooth multi-connectedness and designed for the most modern of devices-the tablet.

That’s awesome! 🤩
I have had my Qwerkywriter keyboard for 2+ years and love it. It does beckon and it does feel good to the fingers, as well as music to my ears. Thank you for your video. Take care.

Haha! Thanks, I’m quite proud of that one 😁
I bought myself a Smith-Corona (I think) portable in 1958 when I was 12 years old, and I taught myself to type on it. As for this keyboard -- I WANT ONE!!!

Had to go look - but for anyone else, looks like Cherry Blue switches. Beautiful clicky blues... oh yes.

They just came out with the numeric keypad add-on. I'm debating whether to get it.

Yeah, I saw that. I only write so wouldn’t need it. On saying that, it would look lovely next to the keyboard! 😆 #NeedToCompleteTheSet
I love your presentation! Great work!

I'm thinking of getting one for my 60th. I have seen the Fineday 1/2 price of this but ABS

Hi Mark, I'm about to purchase this keyboard. Did you have to pay UK Vat for this? On the checkout it says tax included. Thanks for the video, very well done and informative.

Hey thanks! I appreciate your kind words. I’ve had a quick look back at my emails and it seems like I had to pay around £60 import fees unfortunately - I’d forgotten about that! 😦
It's Very Beautiful

It certainly is! 🤩
It's ticks MOST of mine, I would even be willing to pay the price, if it had the authentic typewriter clicks. This one sounds more like a 90s keyboard than a typewriter. *Forgot to ask: have you tried the FINEDAY typewriter keyboard?

Does it work with Windows 10 pc? such as the volume and scroll controls

Good question and the answer is: I don’t know. I use an iPad as my daily driver and haven’t touched a Windows PC in a long time! A quick look around the internet found me this article which suggests it does - www.forbes.com/sites/marksparrow/2024/04/14/qwerkywriter-the-keyboard-for-every-budding-hemingway-out-there/?sh=62bb24f747b8 And the QwerkyToys website suggests it works with Windows too. Maybe best to send them a message with your specific question to be sure.
Can the lever be removed ? To not get in the way of the esc key ?

I don’t believe it can (plus it would ruin the aesthetic don’t you think?! 😎). It’s not too much of an issue when you get used to it.
I want this so bad but it’s expensive

You’re certainly paying a premium for it but it is a very nice price of kit!
