Setup was pretty simple. Works perfectly
Folks. If you're here reading this wondering, "Should I?" I'm here to tell you, "Do it!!!" I purchased the Olive Green with retro chrome caps with Cherry Blue switches. (the Blue, Red and Brown determine the keystroke sound, Blue being the loudest and what I was going for. I wanted a typewriter, you guys!!). It arrived two days after I ordered it. Packaged well. Setup was pretty simple. Works perfectly! Sounds like I'm typing on my dad's old typewriter, maybe a little like the word processor I learned on in the 90's... FEELS like a modern keyboard. It's lightweight and easy to carry so I can move some place to place if I want to. The tablet does NOT attach securely and merely sits in the cradle which doesn't bother me at all but others may be expecting it to fit securely. You just remove your tablet and carry the two together before moving to another location. I would encourage anyone wanting one, to get it. You won't be disappointed.

Don't buy this - beautiful but doesn't work
My husband bought this for me for Christmas. I was so excited. The keyboard is so beautiful and the sound that it makes as you type just sounds so heavenly. Unfortunately, it keeps disconnecting on its own. I read that I have to update the firmware (mind you, it's not an easy process, as you have to do it over your phone), so I did. It helped for a little bit, and then the keyboard kept disconnecting again. It is like an abusive relationship - for a few hours it would work beautifully and you are so in love with your keyboard, and then another moment it'll frustrate you to no end because it would disconnect for no reasons. I've emailed the tech support back and forth and did everything they told me to do but the keyboard is still not connecting. For a $200 keyboard, it should work seamlessly with your device!! I shouldn't even have to spend any time trouble shooting. Do yourself a favor, don't get bewitched by its beauty. DO NOT BUY THIS.

Beautiful paperweight - useless as a keyboard
For the short time this keyboard worked, it was a pleasure. The clickety-clack of the keys, the aesthetically appealing look that harkened back to the typewriters of old.It does take some time to acclimate your fingers to the keys but after a bit, it becomes second nature. It can be used for both MAC and PC configurations.The key here was 'SHORT TIME'. It stopped maintaining it's connectivity within a matter of weeks and by the second month, it wouldn't connect at all.I updated the software per the instructions and this had no effect.It's been a year now and after trying new computers, new batteries, etc. and this VERY expensive keyboard is relegated to nothing more than a piece of decor for my office. I don't know if I should be sad because I can't use it or mad because of how incredibly expensive this keyboard was.Sadly, I cannot recommend this keyboard.

Aesthetically in love...
I wanted to keep this soooo bad!Within less than week it lost connection to my ipad. I bought a Samsung tablet the following week. It lost connection to my tablet after a week and a half. Than 2 days after, it no longer sync to my phone. I contacted everyone from the manufacturer to Amazon than Penna's online support services and received silence to fixing this beautiful machine. After 3 weeks later, I had to sum up my decision. Either keep something that doesnt work or return it for something that does. I returned it.As beautiful as this typer is, it's not worth the struggle. Save yourself the trouble.

Qouldn't stay connected to my Windows 10 PC.

UPDATE....Beautiful but...
***UPDATE 3/24/2021** This is a very beautiful piece... BUT, it just doesn’t work.. I had requested a replacement within a few months after I bought one due to connectivity issues... Then the replacement one only worked for a few months (less than6 months) and the battery isnt working anymore... Regardless, I bought an energizer batteries just in case I had faulty batteries, and still no success. The LED lights up in red for a few seconds and then gone. I used this keyboard very scarcely, maybe to just type in a web address. I just loved the look of it on my table. I gave it several chances and even compromised. But overall, its a great idea but the quality of the craftmanship isn’t there... Customer service you say? Yeah.. non-existent.. FB, IG, Amazon, emails... nothing, no response.. I think the company may not really “exist” anymore. Could be the pandemic, but it sucks to be you (or me) if you have this non working $200 keyboard and has zero support.. Amazon support has been awesome.. But Eletron? Thumbs down.. Its a downfall of a start company... PLEASE DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH and don’t get fooled by the looks of this keyboard...It’s beautiful hands down. However, because of its beauty and the price tag (in comparison to qwerty) I ignored the reviews about Bluetooth connection. I had it for 2 months and within those 2 months, I had trouble switching back and forth to 2 devices. I had to keep turning back on and off and deleting history from the devices. Once its connected, I never had an issue of loosing connection. So I was fine with it until I had to switch devices and it just stopped working. The one blinking light wont go. I tried clearing history, changing batteries, updating software. Nothing. Thankfully I still qualify for the exchange so I am waiting for the new machine. I plan on just using 1 device with it. It sucks but I like it a lot that I will compromise. So if you dont have much patience, think hard about the bluetooth issues that goes with it... other than that, its a beautiful machine.
