(If you have a bigger\/heavier tablet, you can still connect, but just place it on a separate stand.)&nbsp; The keyboard will work across all Windows, iOS, macOS, and Android devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Key spacing is equal to the Logitech keyboard I use for my desktop Lenovo M800 computer \u2013 less the numeric keypad.&nbsp; You can see from the pictures that the key placement is quite different from my laptop and desktop keyboards in one main regard.&nbsp; The Enter key and the backspace key are inboard instead of aligned to the outer right edge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dougbardwell.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/210826-P900-1233-1024-900x600.jpg?resize=900%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Top view of the KnewKey Rymek Classic Mechanical Keyboard\" class=\"wp-image-35469\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I expected that to give me some getting used to, but they are still right next to the \u201c and + keys, so it wasn\u2019t a problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When using the keyboard with the USB cable, the keyboard will always be charged.&nbsp; In addition, a nice little feature I\u2019ve not seen anywhere else is the addition of two micro-USB ports on the back of the keyboard so you can plug it in from either the back right or the back left.&nbsp; Clever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember how you used to hit that carriage return lever to advance your paper on your typewriter, well it\u2019s still here, but now, you only need to give it a tug if you want to switch from Bluetooth to USB mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ve got a full set of F1-F12 keys and many of the others do double duty in combination with the FN key.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For multimedia, the F6 thru F8 keys enable previous track, Play\/Pause, and next track.&nbsp; The analog scroll wheel on the right side of the \u201ccarriage\u201d turns to increase or decrease volume.&nbsp; That, I really find useful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dougbardwell.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/210826-P900-1235-1024-900x600.jpg?resize=900%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Turn the knob on the KnewKey Rymek Classic Mechanical Keyboard to change the volume\" class=\"wp-image-35471\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Fn and the DEL key toggles through a number of lighting patterns and animations.&nbsp; I guess gamers get off on that sort of thing, but they would make me crazy.&nbsp; I leave mine \u201cOn steady\u201d all the time. The up and down arrow keys raise or lower the backlight behind the keys from OFF to Full ON through five levels of brightness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The model I chose has copper color keys and a nice blue backlight. There are multiple color keyboards available, so check their website for available options.&nbsp; Matching wrist rests are also available, but I haven\u2019t tried those.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After typing on the <a href=\"https:\/\/knewkey.com\/products\/rymek-retro-mechanical-keyboard\">Rymek Classic Mechanical Keyboard<\/a> for some time now, there haven\u2019t been any keys or functions that I find missing.
