This New Mechanical Keyboard Feels Just Like A Real Typewriter From The Past
Lofree is a startup who has designed these awesome portable keyboards, which are a throwback to yesteryear because they’re inspired by mechanical typewriters.
The keyboard is available in a series of bright pastel colors, which is a nice break from the standard black/white/silver layout on your phone, tablet or laptop. They also look and sound ridiculously cute thanks to their rounded buttons, and mechanical switches, which give a satisfying “clack” when you hit them.
Yet despite looking to be from an era when granny always baked an apple pie, telephones were made of bakelite, TV was black and white, and people were sepia and walked funny, the Lofree is very much part of 2017. It uses Apple’s Magic keyboard layout, it’s also backlit for when you need to work in low-lit scenarios and works with PC, Mac, iOS and Android.

Share on FacebookI remember when I was a kiddo my dad had a typewriter at his work. I always wrote on it and my little fingers often got stuck inbetween the letter causing an enormous pain. I wrote eitherway <3 I also have a typewriter at home, there is something about them that makes all the letters written on them ten times more special <3 I bet writing on this keyboard is soooo pleasant!
Cute, reminds me of my Grandpa's old typewriter but I think I will spend more time cleaning it than actually typing... :)
I know a lot of special needs children (like my Aspergers-spectrum son) enjoy the solid "clunkiness" and the sounds made by these keyboards, but they've generally been priced over £100. If the price on these is more reasonable, my family will certainly purchase one. Thank you, BP !
