AZIO kicks it up a notch with the latest addition to their Retro Classic series of high-end keyboards. The AZIO RCK is a 75% form factor keyboard with Bluetooth or USB connectivity, dual OS support, a plethora of material options to choose from, and a humongous 5000 mAh battery to keep it ticking for months!

I would never buy one and I feel it is a hipsters' accessory (disgusting) but it does look very nice, overengineered and solid all the way through. Not a 'plastic toy' with lots of branding but a decently engineered product.

the looks is ok, feels like steampunk design but the switch is no (at least for now) since they are not compatible with any cherry mx keycaps

oh wait, there's no part of inside the keyboard?

From page 3: "Note that the keyboard shares the same platform as the AZIO Retro Classic we saw earlier. That is, except for the addition of Bluetooth connectivity and a 5000 mAh battery, so I chose not to disassemble this keyboard given disassembly might damage the wood cover. Please refer to this page if you are interested in the guts of the AZIO Retro keyboard series."
