The new YUNZII QL75 is described as a 'retro typewriter mechanical keyboard,' which is pretty obvious when looking at the physical design. Actual typewriters like this are from the era that pre-dates computers and word processors, so it's definitely before my time. However, there's no denying that typewriters are stylish in 2025, the sort of device you can display as an art piece. Plus, it's because of typewriters that modern keyboards still use the QWERTY layout for keys.

As a modern device, the YUNZII QL75 Retro Typewriter QMK/VIA Mechanical Keyboard supports tri-mode connectivity (2.4 GHz, Bluetooth, and Wired), a more compact 75% 84-key layout, north-facing RGB lighting, and the choice of two hot-swappable switches - YUNZII Onyx Tactile and Cocoa Cream V2 Linear. If we had to pick, we'd say that the tactile option suits the design more, as you'd probably want to hear that clicky sound on a keyboard that looks like a typewriter.

The two design features that stand out are the circular-shaped keycaps and the fact that where the paper would traditionally go, it doubles as a stand for an iPad or Android tablet.
