the minute you get your hands on this
wonderful portable you find yourself
with an urge to express yourself now
that can be mighty important not only in
school but in later life too so i've
made videos on many unusual crazy
keyboards computer keyboards bluetooth
keyboards wireless keyboards wired
keyboards touch keyboards laser
keyboards
if there's a keyboard i'm probably gonna
look at it it's very surprising how
diverse the world of keyboards is it to
me seems to indicate that people have a
very particular taste when it comes to
their choice in keyboard what i'm going
to show you today possibly the craziest
keyboard that i've ever featured it also
might be the most expensive i can't
remember will it's 300 bucks this thing
is expensive and i have to tell you that
it's called the quirky writer s a
typewriter inspired mechanical keyboard
this embraces a different mindset a
different time period the click and the
clack the war and the piece to kill a
mockingbird brave new world lord of the
flies
the company is called quirky toys
there's a picture of what it looks like
that's an attention-grabbing thing you
put that in the den a glass of cognac
next to it fine wood grain and the smell
of leather
let's take a closer look at this thing
[Music]
does look cool feel like i'm about to
crack the code this thing is heavy
oh boy
look
whoa it's a real typewriter feel now the
switches are cherry mx blue that little
clock to it
bam this tray is if you want to use ipad
or a phone this apparently is
programmable but that's a throwback sets
and clear stops in front makes indenting
easier two typewriter days as well same
with these knobs on the side leds along
the top that i can see another button
usb connector to use it in a wired
fashion a traditional style power switch
on this side braided style usb cable but
that's micro usb though oh it is a micro
usb connector so it's more secure look
at that that's in there this would be
cool as like a volume knob maybe it is
so this thing will work on pc mac
android and ios got it connected to this
macbook pro over here my intuition was
to test this knob for volume that's
exactly what it does that is cool what
is this side supposed to do i don't know
maybe nothing it's not this what does
this do
no it's enter it acts as enter test two
wow i kind of like it the quick
brown
fox jumped
over jack
what vertical scroll let's just fill
this up
he's right oh that's kind of nice so you
do a little web page scroll in there now
you probably have a scroll wheel on your
mouse but they're trying to market the
idea of using this with your ipad you
don't want to reach up and it's annoying
because you're busy how about that well
you're sitting over there yelling
yelling and screaming and the truth of
the matter is you didn't do your
research
i wanted to be tom cruise against matt
lauer i'm not out here trying to
prescribe ritalin i am not going to go
out and say get your kids on riddle and
it's the cure-all and the end-all matt
but here's the point
don't be glad
you don't even you're glad can you
explain to me will what this 10m 20m 30m
situation is this is map to brightness
oh they're macros are we talking macros
are we talking macaroni i saw a channel
the other day on trending which is a guy
who specializes in living like it's 200
or 300 years ago have you seen this guy
welcome to 18th century cooking i'm jon
townsend and we're doing macaroni or we
might call it today macaroni and cheese
all right so listen there's obviously a
massive novelty factor here there is
spectacle here but they didn't skimp on
the functionality you've got cherry mx
blue switches the thing is made out of
metal it can pair to three separate
bluetooth devices you can use it wired
if you choose to so if you're about this
style if you look at this and you feel
inspired it could be the next harry
potter and i think she's doing all right
for herself how many books did she sell
will he do
450 million half a billion harry potter
books and she owes it all to the cordy
writer s
you need to know about it kaboom
