a keyboard which looks like 1890s typewriter by the shape of its keys but on the other hand the color theme is from 1980s Keytronic keyboards which were popular PC keyboard in Europe

https://muropaketti.com/tietotekniikka/tietotekniikkauutiset/nostalgiannalkaan-olisi-nyt-tarjolla-kirjoituskonetta-muistuttava-nappaimisto/

THIS typewriter look-a-alike USB-C keyboard has one weird trick: it has a small speaker innit. When enabled (there is switch on the back to enable or disable) the speaker plays typewriter key-hit sound everytime you hit a key, with a 0.5 second delay or so, its not exactly simultaenous with a key hit and it wasnt simultaneous in a mechanical typewriter in 1890 either.

The reason for disabling it because some people may not like the idea or at least dont like it when typing late at night with some neighbors behind thin walls.

Typewriter had mostly the same keys as a PC keyboard except it didnt have function keys, this typewriter replica of course has function keys because they are quite important on PC.

Can you write Finnish/Estonian/Swedish with it? Not easily as it doesnt have keys for ä,ö,ü, å, ũ.

ummmmmm

no I don't think I will

buy an ad

How was any of that supposed to be compelling?

I got round typewriter keycaps because they look cool and it makes it way easier to get in there with a brush to clean the keyboard. If I wanted it to be clicky I'd buy clicky switches.
In other words, I don't need or want your weird dumb fake typewriter keyboard.

I was looking for a typewriter-like keyboard a few months ago. They're either too expensive or too cheaply made, and most are 80-100 keys. I need a full keyboard.
This gimmick of speakers to mimic the clicks sounds absolutely retarded. Just put loud mechanical keys.

I had used a real typewriter at my gramps house. Was fun.
