Another "Out of This World" Experience
As a keyboard enthusiast and someone who works in the automotive industry, I couldn't resist the idea of having a keyboard transformed by the legendary Liberty Walk brand. Without a doubt, this keyboa
I ordered Gateron Jade Pro Ultra Switches for my ATK RS6 Ultra+ Keyboard (Ranger), anticipating a higher keyboard "pitch" rather than a deeper thock. The switches arrived on April 28, 2026, and I inst

Keyboards put the world at our fingertips, and the one we choose can significantly affect our proficiency in typing. All keyboards are not created equal, and the ideal keyboard has yet to be found.
I learned how to type on a traditional mechanical typewriter during my high school years (1970s). I’m not sure if they still make them anymore, but I do find it intriguing when I see modern-day keyboards posing as retro typewriters.
Years ago, I purchased a QwerkyWriter keyboard out of curiosity, and most recently backed a Kickstarter project for the 10-Year Anniversary edition.
Perhaps it’s just a coincidence, but I received an email from YUNZII this morning promoting the YUNZII QL75 Retro Typewriter QMK/VIA Mechanical Keyboard. At USD 112.19 (MSRP USD 132.59), it seems like quite a deal, although Green and Pink are the only colour options available.
The features of this keyboard are typical of most:
Hot Swappable Switches
Switch Options:
Onyx Tactile Switch: Clicky, Prelubed, five pins, 60gf bottom-out force, 43gf actuation force, total travel 3.90 mm, pre-travel 2.00 mm.

Whether or not you choose to reassign keys, the keyboard has pre-programmed FN key combinations, including media controls, calculator, email, and keyboard locking.
The keyboard features five indicator lights: Caps Lock, Power, and Connection type, indicated by BT1, BT2, and BT3 indicator lights, respectively.

I ordered the Green QL75 with Cocoa Cream V2 Linear Switches. I also received a 10% discount, as my order was over $100.00. They also included a complimentary YUNZII Rainbow Cloud Keyboard Wrist Rest, valued at $20.39, although I’m not sure why.
I was also pleasantly surprised to see “FREE SHIPPING.” In today’s economy, this is a breath of fresh air.
I expect to receive my keyboard in approximately two weeks, and I will provide a “hands-on” review after trying it for a while afterwards.
Until next time, thank you for reading!
