#Light up typewriter keyboard how to#

The manual does give a short description of how to edit each key, but it doesn’t offer a lot of insight and feels a bit confusing. Unfortunately, I could not find any functioning software for this board, so RGB lighting customization is inconvenient. Speaking of RGB, there are a number of presets that can be easily accessed by using shortcuts on the keyboard itself. However, I do think these keys would look so much better if the RGB showed more clearly through the key legends. It doesn’t bother me and I like how the lights reflect off the silver plastic around the edges of the keycaps. Many people refer to that as bleeding, and some see it as a bad thing. Instead, the way you experience the RGB here is from where it shines out underneath the keys. The RGB lights shine very dimly through the key legend. While I’m not a huge fan of the font they chose, the bigger issue is the clarity.

While this one does look pretty neat, its appearance is not without flaws.įirst of all, the key legends are not great. I’ve seen these online before and always thought they looked cool. The AestheticĪs I mentioned, I was pretty excited to receive a typewriter-style keyboard to review. Unfortunately, the board itself didn’t really live up to that hype. So, when I opened it and saw a typewriter style, I was pretty hyped. The box for this Royal Kludge Typewriter keyboard was deceiving - the picture displayed normal, square-shaped keys.

Nonetheless, I’m always excited to receive more from Sypnotix as they are one of my favorite things to test out. I have quite the pile of keyboards in my closet.
