Retro Typewriter Keyboard for Gamers and Typists

The HUO JI 228 is a wired mechanical keyboard with 104 clicky blue switches and round metal keycaps in a vintage lipstick design. It connects via USB and includes a matching retro mouse, serving both Mac and PC users who want a distinctive desktop look.

Clicky Switch Feel and Fixed Lighting

Blue switches deliver an audible click and tactile bump rated for 50 million keystrokes, while the single-colour purple backlight offers 9 preset modes and 26 lighting effects selectable through Fn shortcuts. The corded design draws power directly from the host with no batteries to manage.

Metal Panel Build and Multimedia Shortcuts

A metal top panel and double-shot ABS keycaps provide a rigid typing surface, and 12 multimedia hotkeys handle media and volume without software. The ambidextrous mouse adds four buttons, and the fixed USB cable means the set stays tethered to one workstation.

Questions about this item

How do I install the HUO JI 228 keyboard and what is the step people often miss?

Plug the USB cable into a free port on your Mac or PC; the step people miss is pressing Fn plus the relevant number key to activate the desired backlight mode.

What maintenance or replacement will the keyboard need later?

The clicky blue switches are rated for 50 million keystrokes, so under normal use the keycaps are the only part likely to wear and may need replacing.

What limit appears first during sustained use?

The single-colour purple LED backlight cannot be changed to other colours, so colour variety is the first constraint you will notice in long sessions.
