Giz Wiz Show 1738 August 1, 2019 Independent Show #220

Wow! The Giz Wiz Show is in year 13 overall & our 5th year of Independent Production! (First Giz Wiz show was February 20th, 2006.) Thanks to our wonderful Patreon supporters we continue on! If it wasn't for them, the Giz Wiz Show would be gone. If you'd like to support OMGchad & DickDe in our independent venture (we pay for everything ourselves, including  travel) just click the Patreon link at the top of our show web page: http://www.gizwiz.tv.  You can also contribute just once via the PayPal link that's there too. Thank you for doing that! Our show wouldn't exist without our viewer's support, but a bit more support would be a big help. Thanks from OMGchad & DickDe!

We start this week's show with one final gadget from the New Products Holiday Showcase.

It's the Bluetooth Retro Manual Keyboard with Cherry Key Switches from Hammacher.

I've something like this before, but what make this Hammacher version different is that each of the keys is a manual Cherry key switch. Many people love the feel and the 'click' sound of the Cherry keys because it reminds them of typing on old manual keyboards. (You probably have to be older to appreciate this.) The spokesperson at the Holiday Showcase said that this keyboard can be hooked up to four different devices at the same time. Three via Bluetooth and one hard wired via USB. What looks like the old fashioned 'carriage return' lever is programmable. The built in integrated tablet stand can accommodate smart phones and tablets up with up to 10.5 inch screens. It can also accommodate some 12 inch tablets depending on their thickness. It will be out by fall 2019 and the MSRP is $299.99. It was not on the Hammacher website as of 8/3/19. Amazon may have a version of it too.
