Very clean and well finished

So just got it, I was apprehensive due to the reviews, about half it seems are negative, but half are positive also. So I pulled the trigger on this one, and I'm glad I did. I took one user's suggestion of gluing foam to the bottom of it to give it an incline as it is a flat laying keyboard. I happened to have some sticky-back weather stip foam about 1/4" thick so I doubled it up and another one next to those two for support, worked very well.

This thing is slick in a pre-modern, flintstones-esque kind of way. Very fine craftsmanship with the wood housing and the cuts and milling seem well done. The keys have a long stroke to them, guess I'm just used to my laptop keyboard lol. It's not that bad and I'm sure I'll get used to it, at least theres some cushion for my fingertips now.

I like the light on the mouse wheel and it is a button also although I havent attempted to program it for anything yet. All my keys appear to be functioning properly as per some users sustain that they werent with theirs.

Over all I am satisfied. I gave it 4 stars because it just feels weird to have a real keyboard again after so many years of working in the field on a laptop, but now work from home so a real keyboard is a luxury I've earned lol.

This is very nice on the eyes, and I like how the numbers and symbols are recessed, this was a much better choice than screen printing them on, because, I'm sorry but as soon as the letters start wearing off, I'm done with it and not because I have to look when I type, because I dont. These characters will last longer than the keyboard, and that looks like it will be a long wait from the construction of the case.

Shipping was fast and it came well prepared with no damage, as some others complained about. Maybe I got lucky, maybe the company read the reviews and got their act together, idk.

Some of the characters are slightly off center on the keys, no biggie though.

Hope that helps.

Nice look, decent build - a few flaws
by geebes_the_butler (3 out of 5 stars)

I always wanted a wooden keyboard, and liked this one the best out of the ones I've seen. A lot of them have a collapsed/condensed structure - no numeric pad, etc... For a basic keyboard, not too bad, but there are a few cons.
1.) There is no tilt adjustment. The keyboard lays flat. If you want to tilt it, you have to put a pencil behind it, or buy one of those plastic keyboard holders.
2.) The spacebar is fairly noisy. I may look to take it apart and adjust its connection brackets. The keys themselves sound fine, but the spacebar sounds like one of those older 1990's keyboards, like something is banging against the side of the house in the wind. It's fairly annoying.
3.) The mouse is narrow for most hands. Not very ergonomic. It would have been nicer to have a wider body. And worse - it seems to have poor motion tracking. Most of the time it's okay, and every now and then it seems to not want to move, or jumps across the screen. It does have a pretty blue light on the scroll wheel.

All in all, not quite worth $50, when $20 keyboards offer more comfort less the style.

some issues....
by Brian D. Lyman (3 out of 5 stars)

This keyboard appears to be of pretty good quality, constructions wise. However, six of my keys are not in the correct position. I will upload a photo. I may try poping the keys off but am hesitant since they may have to be glued back into place. I will be gluing some risers at the back of the keyboard since it doesn't allow you to adjust the angle of the keyboard. I am not going to bother returning the keyboard but for a new user, the keys placed in the improper positions would be annoying if you don't know what the keys do. I haven't used the mouse, since I have a mouse I prefer.

Great product for the money!

The keyboard is not only beautiful, but the touch is great! The key travel seems to be just right and is not noisy. Maybe it is a little louder than my last keyboard, not much louder. It works great! The only negative is that the click button on the mouse is a bit hard to push, but maybe that's just my weak muscles. This is a beautiful, functional keyboard. Some reviews said the spacebar is too small, but I have no idea why they would say so. It's just the same as my old keyboard.

My motivation for buying this is that my doctor said I had some plastic toxicity. Since I work on a computer all day every day, I thought it would be a good idea to switch to a wooden keyboard. This keyboard is good for my health as well as beautiful. I hope the varnish coating is ok for me, but this was the best option I could find to cut out some of my proximity to plastic. Great product for the money!

This thing is a BLAST!!
by Kelly (5 out of 5 stars)

My only complaint was the packaging..when I opened the box I was a bit horrified to see how the packaging of the keyboard and mouse was torn apart, and broken, I feared the mouse and keyboard would be broken too.

However, they are just fine and I have had a LOT of fun with the keyboard. I've not used the mouse yet as that I still like my wireless one, but the keyboard is fun.

I've gotten a LOT of compliments and comments on it at work. I type pretty hard and fast, and I work in IT so I'm pounding away at the keys all day. My previous keyboard that came with my Dell, the letters wore off it from all the use.

I don't think anything will wear off this thing, bamboo is hard stuff. The letters on some keys are a bit faint, but I think a little time with a fine tipped pen will help darken that up. I touch type so it isn't that big a deal, this is a natural product after all.

The only complaint I have with it, is, it doesn't have the little tabs on the bottom that will raise the keyboard up at an angle. I get around this by resting the top of my keyboard onto the slightly raised base of my monitor and that puts it at a level I like. I'll likely do a DIY type resolution for this, but for now this is working just fine for me.

Aside from the 2x small caveats I mentioned, I really like the keyboard. It works, they keys feel solid and it is just a really unique piece. Kinda feels a bit steampunk actually.

I'd recommend this.

HTH,

K

With an explanation

Fri 8/15/2014. This ridiculous bamboo keyboard/mouse appeals to me; it makes me laugh when I see it. So I got two. However:
1. On a Lenovo desktop, the keyboard wasn't suitable for *booting* the machine; every time I boot in the morning it beeps and claims there's no keyboard, although it works fine in Windows. For normal people this can still be a significant problem, because sometimes it'll be necessary to adjust the BIOS or something and I could not do that with this keyboard there. But I have *closets* of keyboards, a miniature one of which I've deployed nearby so if/when that dread day comes and I have to do something with the BIOS, I can just plug the mini keyboard into a spare USB and it boots fine.
2. The 2nd one I just got arrived with the space band fallen off, which I stuck back on. I should note that to do this right -- I did it wrong a few times -- you have to maneuver a little metal hook thing on it so it properly engages two plastic slots where the space band goes. It "kind of" works without this, and you can easily insert it that way, but it works better with.
3. The first one's outside packaging was damaged; to compensate for this I suppose, the "product" inside box was a lovely thing with a magnetic catch -- which was open, with some of the contents sliding out, but apparently intended for when the bamboo was $139.95 or something. The box the 2nd one came wasn't damaged, outside or inside, but the inside box is obviously a more pedestrian affair.
4. Both units have only faint key markings, the second considerably fainter, like they're running out of ink at the bamboo key factory. My previous keyboard was one of those yellow-key/giant letter things, and that didn't seem to help much to correct difficulties not obviously involved with visual acuity anyway.

Finally, both mice seemed to work OK. And are beautiful of course.

SUMMARY

Cool, amusing, and I, at any rate, actually type better, seemingly because of that, even if I can barely see the key markings on the 2nd one. I'd guess I've lucked-out so far my two units. ... But I took off a star because you might not....

Item arrived in damaged packaging, actual keyboard is disappointing
by StaticDynamics (2 out of 5 stars)

First off, this keyboard arrived in a smashed up box. The actual product box was also ripped...but that's not the only reason I am returning this.

The actual keyboard is disappointing. This is definitely a membrane keyboard. If you're looking for good feedback while typing, steer away. They spacebar is also very flimsy and loud. Sure, the keyboard looks really nice but if it doesn't function very well, then why keep it. Avoid this keyboard.

Father's day gift, done right!!!

Picked this up for my husband who works in I.T. He's taken it to his office and uses it all day everyday. Says everyone at work has asked about it. I stopped by the other day and sat at his desk a while... it looks like it's in good shape. He says it works well, doesn't make any more noise then a traditional keyboard and enjoys having it ... even 6 months later.

I'm satisfied

I ordered this keyboard because I liked the wooden look to it and wanted a replacement keyboard and mouse to my old and constantly dust-collecting and hard-to-clean logitec standard keyboard and mouse. So far so good.

Pros:
-wooden. It's all wood. Easy to dust and picking the keys off to clean under them and then snapping them back in place wasn't as stressful as doing it with the other keyboards I've owned in the past. Or maybe I've never owned good keyboards.
-keys aren't as loud as the plastic keys of my previous keyboard with the exception of the spacebar--which I'll mention in the cons
-came with a matching mouse.
-usb wires are nice and long. I hate wireless keyboards and mice but also hate short wires because with the desk I have, the cords tend to pull. These wires (which are brown, not traditional black) were long and I was okay with tucking them in for my setup.
-has some weight to it. I like it when things don't feel flimsy.

Cons:
-the "`" key at the top left corner was pushed in and wouldn't pop out. I had to take a knife and chip the corner of the key a little so that it would fit the space without getting nudged tight in it's spot. Luckily it was easy since the key is wood and I didn't have to chip much off so you barely notice.
-loud space bar. While every other key on the board is moderately quiet, the space bar is the loud drunk roommate who comes home at 3am and wakes everybody up. Buttttttttt, most space bars are loud anyway though. I might try and suppress it a little with a small pad of velcro under the key.
-flat. If you like your keyboard tilted at an angle, know that this keyboard doesn't have little flippers underneath to support it tilted.
-surface scratches relatively easily.
-internet explorer and email button. While it's still very common to see internet and email hotkeys on a keyboard even in 2014, I wish I could have had a volume down and volume up button instead. Especially with the mute button just right of the email button. Luckily you can download software to remap keys on a keyboard. So I'll probably do that since I don't need a button to open up Outlook Express (who even uses that?) or Internet Explorer (my grandma doesn't even like IE).

Conclusion:

Worth buying if you want a new keyboard and want something different; tired of plastic. Comes with a matching mouse so things aren't awkward. Nice engraved keys, easy to clean, keystrokes aren't as loud as what I'm used to.

Won't buy again
by Saturn Antennas (3 out of 5 stars)

It has nice fit and finish and the tracking encoder works fine, but it only worked 100% for the first day...then a problem began. The first day it functioned as any other mouse.

It is used on a MacBook Pro: On the second day forward, now every time I start the laptop, the mouse-cursor is uncontrollable PRIOR to logging in. I MUST use the laptop keys and pad to login now, then the mouse works normally.
