The Korean brand Fineday recently drew attention on Kickstarter with the Fineday 3.0, a keyboard crafted to resemble a vintage typewriter. The project stood out in the crowd, capturing the interest of tech enthusiasts and retro design fans alike according to Hi-Tech Mail.Ru.
Designed for modern connectivity, the Fineday 3.0 can link to a computer or a smartphone via Bluetooth. It proclaims broad compatibility across Windows and macOS, as well as Android and iOS platforms. A compact device such as a smartphone can be placed on the keyboard in a manner reminiscent of the paper cradle of classic typewriters, providing a functional and nostalgic touch for on-the-go productivity.
One notable feature is the engraving on the key legends, which promises longer-lasting visibility than printed characters on typical keyboards. The keyboard draws its power from two AA batteries, enabling cordless use and a clean, clutter-free desk setup for extended writing sessions.
Available in three understated finishes — black, dark blue, and dark green — the Fineday 3.0 debuted at a pre-order price of $655, a figure that placed it among premium compact keyboards on the market. This pricing positioned the device as a niche accessory for enthusiasts seeking a tactile, vintage-inspired typing experience while maintaining modern wireless convenience.
Update: coverage from sources such as socialbites.ca notes the broader context of novelty tech products shared in niche tech outlets, including mention of a Chinese fast-food brand celebrating cultural moments with playful tech giveaways. The article references a separate case where a game console featuring Tetris in the shape of a fried chicken snack had a limited circulation of 40,000 units, illustrating how nostalgic and quirky hardware concepts continue to attract attention in the tech community (citation: Hi-Tech Mail.Ru, socialbites.ca).
