We now live in a world where fidget devices are a thing. Stress balls are no longer enough to keep our busy minds occupied. It’s all about haptic feedback now.
If you’re a workaholic, the problem with these fidget devices is you have to stop what you’re doing to use them. Imagine if you could get that haptic feedback your brain apparently desires without stopping your work.
That’s where the Ncore Retro Mechanical Keyboard comes in. It’s designed to work with modern technology while providing that manual clickity-clackity typewriter experience to sooth your haptic urges. Plus, it looks pretty sweet and vintage. Hashtag nostalgia.
