The second switch sets the keyboard for use on Mac/iOS or Windows/Android, but a quick look at the layout shows the lofree has been designed primarily with Apple users in mind.
#MAC TYPEWRITER KEYBOARD BLUETOOTH#
There's a switch next to the port to turn Bluetooth on/off. On the right-hand side of the keyboard is a micro-USB port for charging as well as for connecting in wired mode using the included cable. It features a sturdy rounded plastic base, with two rubber legs at the back that raise the keys high off the desk at a six degree angle. At 800 grams, it's pretty heavy – the Apple Magic Keyboard is just 321 grams – but the extra weight has a stabilizing influence and adds to the retro feel. The first thing that struck me about the lofree was its sheer heft. We got a hold of a finished unit to see if the lofree keyboard can live up to expectations. The desirability of such a product is in no doubt – lofree's Indiegogo campaign set out to raise $10,000 over 30 days, but has already garnered $364,443 from over 4,000 backers, with several weeks to spare. With the lofree Bluetooth keyboard, the designers have tried to re-imagine the typing process in a more radical way, by recreating the experience of operating a traditional typewriter, but in an elegant retro-modern design. Whichever side people fell on the debate, everyone could agree that how a keyboard actually feels beneath the fingers matters a great deal. They criticized the keyboard for its lack of travel, and said the experience of typing was not much different to tapping on a touch screen. When Apple introduced its latest MacBooks, some users complained that the new butterfly mechanism in the keys was a turnoff. Redesigning an input device is a risky business.
