Hello, this is the store manager.
Since I've been working remotely since 2020, I've recently become more particular about my work tools.
Up until now, I've chosen keyboards based on functionality and the feeling of typing, but now that I'm in my third year of remote work, I want something that's fun to type on, cute, and gets me excited, even if it's a little difficult to type on.
Before purchasing, I researched a lot of typewriter-like Bluetooth-enabled keyboards, so I'd like to introduce 5 of them that I recommend.
LoFree EH112S
In the end, I bought this milk tea colored ki board and a numeric keypad calculator.
This is an item from a Chinese manufacturer, and the gold used in the color and points is really cute! Moreover, it is compatible with Mac/Windows and can store up to 3 wirelessly connected devices, making it convenient for use with iPads and iPhones. However, please note that there is no JIS array.

Manager Ten's Purchased Items
logicool POP keys
Compatible with JIS layout for easy Japanese input! Compatible with Mac/Windows, supports wireless switching of up to 3 devices, and covers all necessary functional requirements.
It's also highly customizable, with keys that allow you to type emojis and Logitech software.
Logitech is a Swiss manufacturer that may be more famous for its mice than its keyboards. By the way, I love Logitech mice.
It's a major brand that is also sold at mass retailers, so the good thing about it is that you can try out the feel of the keys before purchasing.

Manager Ten's items to consider purchasing and favorite items
AZIO Retro Classic Compact
The brand was founded in Los Angeles in 2009. I wanted to actually see and touch it, so I went to an electronics store in Shinjuku to see how the keys felt.
It wasn't in the corner where general office items were sold, but was hidden away at the end of the gaming corner.
When I actually looked at it, the design was overwhelming and I fell in love with it.

Manager Ten's items to consider purchasing
AZIO IZO series
The IZO wireless keyboard series is from the same AZIO brand as the previously introduced keyboard.
I've looked into a lot of things, but I couldn't find a place in Japan where I could actually touch them, so I couldn't find a place like Uchikikan.
The typewriter-like feel is less than that of other introduced series, but it seemed to have a clicky feel.
You can control the volume with the dial on the top right, and the shape of the keys that look like molars is unusual and cute.

AJAX PENNA series
PENNA series keyboard. You can wirelessly switch up to 5 devices, and comes with a stand to hold your smartphone or tablet.
Recommended for those who use it with a smartphone or tablet instead of a computer. The bar on the left side of the device seems to be able to memorize frequently used functions.
It is also battery-operated rather than charging, so it can be used for 6 months on 2 AA batteries.
