Technology has always progressed at incredibly fast
pace. In one generation we’ve gone from simply staring at the moon to having
phones in our pockets with more power than the computers that got us there. Our
taste in design, on the other hand, has never quite moved as quickly nor in as
straight a line. The result of this mismatch are items like the Azio Retro
Classic Keyboard.
This Bluetooth-enabled backlit mechanical keyboard
is framed by zinc aluminum alloy, features a wooden surface, and keys that
strongly resemble ones you’d find on old typewriters. And thanks to a large
6,000 mAh Lithium Ion battery, this keyboard can function for up to a year
without being recharged (so long as the keys aren’t being backlit – in which case
it can function for 2 months).
While this device definitely doesn’t come on the
cheap, when you consider the fact that Apple Magic Keyboards go for between US$ 100 and Us$ 130, this unique desktop add-on seems a bit more reasonable. Right
now you can pick these keyboards up in the above wood, or in leather.
