Unboxing & Review: Qwerkywriter 10th Anniversary Edition

If you’ve been around the channel a while, you’ll know I’m a sucker for a mechanical keyboard with a retro twist. A year or so ago I reviewed the Qwerkywriter S Edition—well, the folks being the Qwerkywriter reached out and asked if they could send me the Kickstarter funded Anniversary Edition. I couldn’t say no and I’ve been itching to open it ever since it arrived. In this video, I unbox it, test it out with my 13-inch iPad Pro (M4), and compare it to the Qwerkywriter S. The Anniversary Edition comes with Cherry MX2A Speed Silver switches, hot-swappable keys, a 3500 mAh battery, USB-C charging, and yes—you can even pair it with the Hanx Writer app for that full-on typewriter nostalgia. Whether you’re a writer chasing those tactile feels, or a tech lover with a soft spot for old-school design, this one might just hit the sweet spot. Is it better than the S? Kickstarter pricing starts at $199, with a planned retail price of $299. Correction: 02:36 - The USB cable is, in fact, a USB-C to USB-C cable with a USB-A adapter connected to it!
