We have no issues gaming with the MK Retro, and this is where the Windows lockout key comes in very handy as you blindly reach around for the various keys to command your characters abilities. Playing round after round of OVERWATCH leaves us with much of the same feeling. Packaging, Accessories, and Documentation

Right away we see that the pricing is not that bad for this keyboard, but we do also have to consider that outside of its flashy historical design, many features we find in PC keyboards today, are left out in this design. You can save a couple of dollars and choose to look at Newegg for the MK Retro, though, where we found it listed for $106.99. In our search, we found that Amazon does carry the MK Retro, and currently is asking $109 for it. The back feet are still adjustable, but use a set of grooves in the feet, to allow them to twist counterclockwise to be extended, and clockwise to be lowered.Īt this point, locating the MK Retro is quite easy, just type the name into any search engine and the listings of where to obtain this device pop right up. Another trick we have not seen before is that the MK Retro is supported with large round feet, almost what you might find supporting a chassis. The outer edge of this keyboard also sports a thick chrome trim which unifies the design and makes for a keyboard that is stunning to look at as well. Aesthetically, every key is either round or rounded, the entire top of the keyboard is made of shiny black plastic, the lower section of textured black plastic, and just like how the key caps are ringed in chrome. As far as weight is concerned, the MK Retro is a relative lightweight at just 1043 grams, because the entire design is made of plastic. The MK Retro is 147mm from the front to the back, 455mm from side to side, and with the feet in the lowest position, stands only 40mm in height. There is an option built into the MK Retro to enable either 6-key rollover support or NKRO, it works with any Windows operating system, and is backed by a two-year warranty against defects. The stems of these switches are olive green and are branded with the name OARMY.
The switches used in its interior are Tactile and clicky, resembling the action of Cherry MX or Kailh blue switches, but are not made by either company. It connects to the PC via USB, more specifically USB 2.0, and is at the end of a 1.8-meter cable which has been braided. In the specifications chart provided from AZIO, we see this keyboard is named the MK Retro – 01, which almost makes us think more versions of this idea will come along in the future. What sets this device apart from all others is that not only does this design get back to the basics, for those who tend actually to use a keyboard for writing rather than for gaming, but more importantly have used a set of key caps that are very reminiscent of what we can recall from our childhood. We have you all together here today to discuss the latest creation from AZIO, and their keyboard development team, the MK Retro Typewriter Inspired Mechanical keyboard. Never has someone came out with such a device to be enjoyed as it is, right out of the box. While most of the keyboard is the same as one would expect, with a two-piece frame, adjustable feet at the back, a 104-key layout, and the use of mechanical switches, aesthetics here are something we have only seen done in steampunk modifications to a PC. While most makers of PC keyboards are driving their attention to backlighting, RGB effects and customization of the LEDs under the keys, Macro keys, Profile keys, and a Windows lockout feature, AZIO took a nostalgic approach to mechanical keyboards.
