Product Description
While it may look like something out of a 1950s office, the Azio Retro Classic mechanical keyboard is anything but stuck in the past. Outfitted with handcrafted keycaps with a metallic trim, this retro-style keyboard looks as good in the office as it does in the game room Read More

This kb looks amazing. Emphasis in "looks". Anyone have experience with this maker? Are the switches any good (are they a rip off Cherry MX blue?)

Thanks for flagging this. Having the page updated to reflect the different switch style.

I have the non backlit version and they have the standard cherry switch stems and can be replaced with compatible key cap sets. I'm not sure who manufactured the switches in my board, I didn't think they were Kailh.

Interested in this, but many online reviews, including those here, say the keycaps are cheaply made plastic and some / many of the letters fade away in a year or less of use. Due to the unusual keys used, cap replacements from anyone but the mfgr are non-existent, and Azio apparently can only offer the exact same plastic fadeable keys to owners.
Shame that they ruined a premium material KB by using shoddy caps. Hope this is fixed for the Retro Classic Mk II version!

Rosebud41you are correct. I purchased one of these the first time round and am disappointed with the cheap abs keycaps and lack of replacements available

*SPOILERS* since Bovan didnt bother linking the video in his comment below.
Linus didnt have anything bad to say about the Azio, other than that it was expensive. But considering that this drop is actually $60US below what Amazon is charging, this is a pretty sweet deal for this keyboard. I had one of their "special edition" black and gold models which I thought was a massive piece of garbage. But I must admit, at this price, even I'm tempted by this drop.
Here's that Linus video in case anyone was wondering. He's really only using the Azio as a comparison to the POS kb he's actually reviewing. https://youtu.be/APyS-vGpyp8

Keyboard has very decent build quality, keycaps, wood and metal plates are all made with really good materials. My only issue with it is that the key mechanics are really bad, its almost worse than some membrane keyboards. I would say if you don't mind the typing experience so much, it is a good buy, it is a beautiful keyboard, otherwise the keys are sticky and nowhere near what a mechanical keyboard should be.
(P.S. personal opinion, since there's no return, I can't tell if I had a defect or it's design flaw)

Is this mass order only for the US layout or can you choose different layouts?

Was curious to hear how these sound in use; plenty of Youtube reviews available incase you're curious too. Very disappointed to learn there's no DING-ZZZZZZZZZZZZZIP sound when you hit the Return Key.
Total deal breaker for me...
