Penna Bluetooth Keyboard with White - Review

Penna Bluetooth Keyboard with White Chrome Keycap(US Language) (Switch-Cherry Mx Blue, Matte Black) - A Typewriter Style Mechanical Wireless Keyboard

Elretron's PENNA Bluetooth Keyboard is a typewriter style mechanical wireless Bluetooth keyboard that comes with 2 standard AA batteries (batteries not included). It boasts a wide compatibility of Bluetooth(BLE 4.2) and can be used with a wide range of devices, including Cellphone, Tablet or laptop with Android, Windows10, iOS and Mac OS system.

Before I dive into the review, I just want to clarify that this keyboard doesn't come with a built-in Bluetooth adapter, so if you have a desktop PC or laptop without a Bluetooth function, you need to invest in a third-party Bluetooth adapter (not included) before using this Bluetooth keyboard.

Design

The PENNA Bluetooth Typewriter Keyboard comes in a Matte Black finish with white chrome keycaps, which gives it an elegant and modern look. The keycaps are well-spaced, and the key actuation distance is comfortable.

The best part of the design is the built-in cradle that holds your smartphone or tablet at the ideal angle for viewing. This feature is extremely useful while typing long emails or articles or streaming videos.

Performance

One of the most significant differentiators of the PENNA Bluetooth Typewriter Keyboard is its multi-device pairing feature. You can quickly switch between 5 devices, and the keyboard can be paired with both iOS and Android devices. The pairing process is straightforward, and the keyboard automatically switches between paired devices in seconds.

The keyboard uses Cherry MX Mechanical Switches, which are regarded by many as the best mechanical switches on the market. They're precise, have a crisp tactile feedback, and comfortable to type on. Since it's a mechanical keyboard, the sound is a little loud, but it is a preference for many people. If you prefer a quieter typing experience, you may want to consider a different keyboard.

Compatibility

As mentioned earlier, the keyboard is compatible with Bluetooth-enabled devices that use Android, Windows10, iOS, and Mac OS systems. With the rise of remote working and a growing demand for portable devices, this feature is extremely useful.

Battery life

The PENNA Bluetooth Keyboard uses two standard AA batteries, and the battery life is quite impressive. Generally, the keyboard lasts for several months before needing a battery change. The keyboard also has a power-saving mode that activates when it's not being used for a while.

Value for money

If you're in the market for a high-quality typewriter-style mechanical keyboard with Bluetooth connectivity, the PENNA Bluetooth Keyboard is an excellent choice. It's not cheap, but it's worth the money.

Conclusion

Overall, the PENNA Bluetooth Keyboard is an excellent device for anyone looking for a typewriter-style mechanical keyboard. The multi-device pairing feature, the cradle holder, and the Cherry MX Mechanical Switches make it a great investment for remote workers and those who frequently travel. While the keyboard isn't perfect, the benefits still outweigh the drawbacks. I would highly recommend the PENNA Bluetooth Keyboard to anyone in the market for a wireless keyboard with fantastic features and performance.

In conclusion, the PENNA Bluetooth Keyboard with White Chrome Keycap(US Language) (Switch-Cherry Mx Blue, Matte Black) by Elretron has a rating of 4.1 out of 5 stars, which is a testament to its quality and performance.
