MISTEL Barocco – Review

Pictures

Out of the box you can immediately see the split of the MISTEL Barocco, with the right hand side being noticeably bigger than the left.

You can fit both halves together if so desired. It does not have any clips to keep it together however and is simply held together with friction which makes it easy to pull apart. The split is still noticeable between the two halves. The slight size differences with the case being one of the bigger annoyances.

Underneath are four legs which you can rest the keyboard on to give it more height. These have two stages of adjustment allowing for a slight raise or a more prominent one. Each leg has a litter rubber nubbin to make sure it stays in place.

The underneath of the larger half, also has a handy guide showing you what cable goes where on the MISTEL Barocco. There is a mini connector on each side allowing you to connect your preferred side up. Whilst the inner two micro ports are to connect the two halves together.  The extra micro port on the right hand part of the keyboard is for the optional number pad MISTEL are releasing.

With the MISTEL Barocco you don’t get much in the way of other items. You get a MISTEL branded key puller and a replacement Shift key (would fit the enter on an ANSI model)

The MISTEL also uses Cherry style stabilisers for the larger switches.

**You may notice in these pictures that the Enter key is of a slightly different colour.  This is just because the original key was damaged and it was replaced. It is not because of poor QA**
