Razer - Joro Portable Wireless Gaming Keyboard

yes, I did. I am reviewing it a the time of this post. Still some kinks to figure out, But, so far I am impressed. the keys are great and the size and functions are super.

ok been trying the joro for a day now and the keys definitely feel mushier and somehow harder to press than on the apple keyboard. it is also quite a bit thicker than the magic keyboard. side by side the highest point on the back of the apple keyboard coincides with the lowest point on the joro at the front. generally it just has a cheaper feel than the magic keyboard. i might try the nuphy airv3 or the keychron k1 max. i havent settled yet on my next keyboard. its a shame that there are not alot of competitors in the super slim high quality switch market. its really just apple. are you happy with the keychron?

I just got mine. The keyboard feels great. Biggest downside for me, as a Mac user, is that only the Windows keys light up, but the Mac keys don't; making the cmd & option keys difficult to locate in low light situations.

Supposedly 2.4ghz support is coming in a future update. But there's no dongle included so I'm wondering how that's going to work.

This is a much smaller and thinner keyboard than the Air 75. It's more comparable to the Vissles LP85 and the Mistel Airone, although both of those are mechanical keyboards.

I just tested the keyboard. My impression: I was a bit underwhelmed. It really feels like a budget keyboard which I wasn't expecting (note: it is Razer's cheapest wireless keyboard). The aluminum top plate didn't make it feel less cheap. The RGB lighting was not that bright (to be fair I couldn't figure out how to increase the brightness) On the plus side, the typing experience is pretty good though. It's like a bit clickier than a typical double scissor keyboard. I am a fast typist, and I enjoyed typing on this. So I think it'd be a good productivity keyboard. I was ready to walk in there and buy it, but once I played with it, I changed my mind...I wish they made it a bit nicer, and charged a bit more.

Imo the Joro is the best, it’s low profile but it’s worth it

I’m not sure about the overall percentages but I’m currently using it to run both of my laptops with the basilisk hyperspeed and basilisk mobile mice and I’m loving the functionality of the joro, the ability to switch to each laptop has been wildly fun, Amazon has a solid deal on them rn

I have it. Main two selling points for me are the fact it is cross functional for both Mac and windows (I work on and entire ecosystem is on Mac, game on windows), and it's compact, so very mobile and I can bring it with me (it replaced my magic keyboard). My biggest issue with it: the window/option key on the keyboard itself is the command key on Mac and it can't be remapped through Apple's system prefs. The alt/cmd key is supposed the Option key but again, it can't be remapped. Very confusing and it kinda of slows down my editing process (im a photographer) and I've mistakenly pressed the key multiple times. After using it for a week now, it's very handy because I can plug it into my windows machine (I'm old school, prefer wired usage) but switch over to BT and use it on my mac. Typing feels great due to the low key travel. I'm not used to having the additional pg up/dn/home/end etc buttons on the side so I am often times also hitting those keys but that's a minor inconvenience. It's also not as loud (as a former keyboard I got from a friend) which I appreciate Just an ordinary consumer review, I dont know anything about aftermarket keyboards (geared/suited towards gaming so please do not flame me for my lack of knowledge lol), but I enjoy gaming with it because when I was strictly using the laptop keyboard, I was always hunched over with bad posture as the eye level was low. The joro allows me to set the laptop on a stand and at a heightened area on my desk so that it actually is at my eye level (table height is adjustable but my seat level just doesn't play well with my desk for some reason) and the Joro basically solves that issue

Appreciate the reply, I will try it out and if it holds up I will likely buy several of them. At this point the cost doesnt matter, mechanical keyboards are awful for me and its hard to find something nice to type on. Every single mechanical keyboard has the same hard bottom and tinny impact noise of the keys going back up. Doesn't matter the switch type or what you do to them, it is a byproduct of the manner of construction. Give me mushy membrane typing any day.

So far I like the typing experience but am annoyed by the sharp corners, one keeps digging into my left palm. When I am sure I want to keep it I will grind the corner smooth with a dremmel.

the only thing I will say about this is that they're scissor switch, so basically a laptop keyboard in a shell. It's also RGB zoned rather than per key. It "seems" over priced for what it is. If you enjoy typing on a laptop keyboard then this is probably a good selection. If you want a mechanical keyboard then you want to look into something with yellows in as they are silent, the oranges are more tactile.

Well I ordered the Joro. In short, it's super nice and feels premium, but that's to be expected at the price point. I might write a full review on this sub because I really haven't seen any others. I was pretty hard pressed to find a ~65% keyboard with chiclet (laptop) style keys, and the customizable lighting is the cherry on top. I wouldn't recommend anyone just go buy one like I did (unless this is exactly their style), but I'd 100% advise you to try it out in-store if you get a chance. Best Buy is supposed to carry them, but my store didn't have a display model.

TL;DR at the end.. This is gonna be a long one. I really like it for a handful of reasons (in addition to me just being a picky fuck with peripherals). 1) feels like an Apple Magic Keyboard 2) it looks like something the Microsoft Surface team would put out 3) the keys are extra "clicky" as far as scissor switches go (like on a really nice laptop) 4) having wired AND Bluetooth is solid. More on this later. 5) the RGB works great 6) it's very compact, but doesn't feel like it compromised to get there 7) the battery seems to last a good while Okay, more on #4. I have a Galaxy Z Fold, but mainly use the Joro wired on my PC. I haven't done this yet, but part of the reason I chose the Joro was because if I'm ever at a hotel or a friend's place, I can plug my phone into the TV and use it as a full-blown Android PC. Having the Joro (and my Basilisk Hyperspeed) means I can do this from across the room with full M&Kb support.. And having the RGB set to low brightness means I won't lose them as easily. My only gripes with the Joro are: 1) the secondary key functions (shift & press) ARE labeled, but ARE NOT backlit. I have to be able to see what I'm pressing when holding the shift key to know what I'm typing. Some people have these all memorized, but I don't. Oh well, I just have to turn the light in. Doesn't matter while gaming, and it DOES look cleaner this way. 2) the Joro is touted as an ultra-portable mobile-gaming keyboard, and costs a whopping $140 new - which is crazy expensive for a miniature keyboard - and does not come with any kind of carrying-case. You may want to invest in a cheap universal soft-case from Amazon if you plan to take it anywhere without a safe place to store it. 3) the Razer app (Synapse 4?) absolutely blows. It's a load of flickering, glitching, jumbled up code packaged as a complete product... and which was launched as a "beta" and is exactly the same as it has been since day 1. It's a mess, and takes unreasonable amounts of patience to use. Luckily I'm an extremely patient guy, and I put some time aside to sort through Synapse so I could have the keyboard I love functioning exactly as I like. ---------- Anyway, I still have a special place in my heart for my Deathstalker V1. I've had it since I built my first PC in 2014, and it still works great. I WILL say: the key-press mushiness does feel a bit dated, and the Joro feels like a natural evolution/branch-out into what could've been one of two halves of a new Deathstalker V1-style lineup: a 100% size version (which we have in name, but not in spirit) - and a 75% version (which the Joro is). I would've taken a TKL DSV1, but this is the closest we have to that at the moment. The Joro is almost a portable, modernized take on the DSV1. It doesn't feel exactly the same, its a bunch smaller, and there is no wrist-rest - I bought a wooden one on Amazon for $10 and have been happy with the setup. This thing definitely isn't for everyone, but as a guy who would ONLY game on a DSV1, I'm exceptionally happy with the physical product itself. . TL;DR - only need one, but would buy another if I could
