THE RETRO CLASSIC ARTISAN

With a size of 455mm in length, 147mm in width and 40mm in height the 1587g heavy RETRO Classic by AZIO is a medium sized keyboard.

Just like with most keyboards coming out now the RETRO Classic features a floating keys design.

Even the lock LEDs are retro (also do notice the detail of the genuine leather used).

AZIO has also placed a small aluminum plate over the arrow keys with the date they were established and the model name.

Via the function key F1 through F4 can also be used to launch your web browser, file explorer, email and media player.

F5 through F8 can also be used as media keys (back/next track, play/pause and stop).

Finally you can decrease/increase/mute audio and launch the calculator with the F9, F10, F11 and F12 keys.

The two available lighting modes (reactive and breathing) can be turned on/off from the HOME and DELETE keys (backlight can be turned off from the END key and on from the INSERT key).

You can adjust the brightness levels via the up/down arrow keys.

Here we see the typelit mechanical switches by Kailh (the LED is placed at the center of each key allowing for a more even illumination).

Turning the keyboard over we see 4 large round rubber feet.

You can adjust the height of the two rear ones just by rotating them clockwise.

The pillar-style adjustable feet raise the rear end of the keyboard 5mm from your desk.

The RETRO Classic features a 1.8 meter long braided cable with a gold plated USB plug at the end.
