Amazon offers the AZIO Retro Compact Bluetooth Mechanical Keyboard at $195.96 shipped. Typically fetching $220, this is marking one of the first notable price cuts we’ve seen and delivers the second-best discount to date that comes within $1 of the all-time low. Sporting a retro design that’s inspired by a classic typewriter, this model is decked out in an Elwood top plate that pairs with its chromed keycaps and backlit mechanical switches. While you can plug in via USB-C to recharge battery which will last for 2 months at a time, Bluetooth connectivity ensures it can pair with Macs and PCs alike, alongside iPads and other devices. Over 130 customers have left a 4.5/5 star rating. Head below for more.
To round out the package of the lead deal, you’re also getting a matching wrist rest that completes the wood accenting. But if you can live without that, going with another model of Azio Retro keyboard means you can make out for less. This one still rocks Bluetooth and Mac connectivity, but trades in the wood detailing for a chromed brass finish and leather top plate at $180. Features are nearly the same otherwise, so depending on which style calls your name more it might be worth going with this more affordable offering instead.
Speaking of elevated typing experience, last week we went hands-on with the Das Keyboard 4 Professional for Mac as the latest installment of our ongoing Tested with 9to5Toys series.
