Letters typed at different heights, the spacing between lines was always changing and sometimes writing at a slant… and then I reread the instructions. I played with the settings until I got them how I wanted them. It turned out the product was fine. The problem was me. I thought since I was so good at typing on a keyboard that using a typewriter would just be a modest effort to transition. I was wrong and accept that lol. Typewriting is a skill. So, read the manual, read about the parts and just practice. Once you get the hang of it, it’s super fun! Review: I am a moron for willingly buying this - I meant to buy a different typewriter but it looks just like this one. I realized my mistake when i received what essentially amounts to a semi-functional ornamental typewriter. It's very physically taxing to use, it's too cheaply made for its price, it came with a bunch of pieces falling out, and i have no idea why I didn't just look at the name of the thing I ordered before I waited half a month for a plastic box of disappointment, which by the way, came without a case, meaning I can take it all of 0 places without sticking it in the ugly cardboard box and lugging it around hoping it doesn't break if a feather lands on it. ## Features - STYLISH RETRO TYPEWRITER FOR THE MODERN MAKER: A fully functional typewriter, made with top-quality metal mechanics. - ARTFUL DÉCOR: Doubles as an attractive and unique home décor piece. - ADD A PERSONAL TOUCH: Quickly add eye-catching journaling to layouts, cards, invitations and much more. - INCREDIBLE VERSATILITY: This typewriter is designed to be used with coordinating typecast paper accessories and unique colors of ink (sold separately). ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01M0BIU6M | | Best Sellers Rank | #375,512 in Office Products ( See Top 100 in Office Products ) #117 in Typewriters | | Brand Name | We R Memory Keepers | | Color | Mint | | Customer Reviews | 3.5 3.5 out of 5 stars (303) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00633356630623 | | Included Components | Typewriter^PaperPackaging | | Item Dimensions | 19.48 x 7.8 x 15.6 inches | | Item Type Name | We R Memory Keepers Typewriter Typecast-Mint | | Item Weight | 13.6 Pounds | | Manufacturer | We R Memory Keepers | | Material Type | Metal | | Model Name | 0633356630623 | | Model Number | 663062 | | Style | Typecast Typewriter - Mint | | UPC | 633356630623 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | Not applicable. | ## Product Details - **Brand:** We R Memory Keepers - **Color:** Mint - **Material:** Metal - **Model Name:** 0633356630623 - **Unit Count:** 1.0 Count ## Images ![Typecast Retro Typewriter by We R Memory Keepers | Mint 49.5 x 19.8 x 39.6 cm - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71RH-uhAkPL.jpg) ![Typecast Retro Typewriter by We R Memory Keepers | Mint 49.5 x 19.8 x 39.6 cm - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/716QKA+HarL.jpg) ![Typecast Retro Typewriter by We R Memory Keepers | Mint 49.5 x 19.8 x 39.6 cm - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81g54hQhBVL.jpg) ![Typecast Retro Typewriter by We R Memory Keepers | Mint 49.5 x 19.8 x 39.6 cm - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91+usgfBCzL.jpg) ![Typecast Retro Typewriter by We R Memory Keepers | Mint 49.5 x 19.8 x 39.6 cm - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71MLWxfixZL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can i start typing once it arrives? Do i need to buy ink or somthing?** A: It should come pre-loaded with an ink tape. You would just need to remove the 4 shipping safety devices and then start typing. There is a diagram in the box that shows you where the 4 devices are located. **Q: Are you able to write a book or novel with this? And if so, is it complicated using it when you mess up a word or phrase?** A: this is an old fashion typewriter. it doesn't have auto correct. you mess up you either have to start the page over (new piece of paper) or use white out. and this is not like a key board on your computer. it is manual and the keys are not easy touch like a computer key board. you need strong fingers. so unless you are really good at typing with out mistakes I wouldn't use this. If you want to write a book. I think I would use a computer with "word program". easy to correct before you print. not knocking a manual typewriter. I bought it for typing recipe cards. unfortunately the one i received was defective and was sent back. hope this helps. **Q: is this automatic?** A: No, not at all. Definitely a manual and you need lots of finger strength to get a good strike. I've reverted to two finger typing with this craft typewriter. It's a load of fun if you're only using it for craft projects. **Q: Does it come with ribbon & appear?** A: it comes with black and red ribbon. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Manuals & Practice are the keys to enjoyment *by A***I on August 28, 2025* At first I thought this typewriter was damaged or poor quality.

I was worried due to some of the reviews being so low. However, it is a great piece and functions similar to a vintage typewriter. We LOVE it! I will use it for journaling and my teen is using it for writing stories. It has a beautiful font and provides an attractive written body of work. I had forgotten how lovely typeset literature looks. It is truly wonderful to have and adds to the decor of my office.
