This Rose Gold Keyboard Is the Desktop Accessory of Our Dreams

It’s most definitely our type.

By BLAKE BAKKILA September 26, 2017

You can now give your desktop a trendy upgrade. The creators at AZIO are making a rose gold retro keyboard that combines the classic nostalgia of a typewriter with the of-the-moment metal. 

“Inspired by vintage typewriters and crafted with ultramodern features, the AZIO Retro Classic is the perfect amalgam of past, present and future,” a spokesperson for the brand said in a statement.

The Indiegogo campaign started with a hope to reach SGD 13,894.00 to produce their Retro Classic line. By August 18, the company had earned more than SGD 340,396.00 from online backers—more than 1,800 percent of its original goal.

The three styles available in their latest line include: Onyx (black leather with a black chrome frame), Posh (white leather with a “copper matte” or rose gold frame), and Artisan (black leather with a “copper matte” or rose gold frame). All leather is 100 percent genuine, according to the Indiegogo page.

Each keyboard has a height adjustment function and backlight LED for late night typing.

According to the Indiegogo posting, the company is selling the wireless Bluetooth version for SGD 263.00, with an estimated delivery date in October. You can also sign up to buy a keyboard with wired USB compatibility for SGD 221.00. The USB-connected product will also be available in October. AZIO is also selling a similar, more wallet-friendly version on Amazon for SGD 153.00.

The FAQ section of the Indiegogo page indicates that United Kingdom, German, Russian, Nordic, Korea, Japan, Portuguese, Traditional Chinese, Spanish, and French versions are forthcoming.
