Title: Typing Demo XL - Remington Super Riter typewriter
Post by: chyros on Tue, 09 July 2019, 03:02:39

As requested, a typing demo of me typing on my Remington Super Riter. Thie typebars on this thing are SO STIFF, it's a wonder I didn't break any of my fingers! Hope you enjoy the video! :D

A mechanical keyboard that will either make you or break you!
Switching to MX reds after 5min on the Remington I think i’d be punching holes through the desk.  :)


Definitely enjoyed the demo, it’s been so long since I used a typewriter I had forgotten how paper was loaded.


Good to see you kept the Laphroaig close  by to dull the finger pain.

I can see why you used two fingers, I might break my hands trying to touch type on that thing  :p
