Hmm. Both have the same 75% layout. Both have a Return lever.
Are they made by same guys?

I haven't tried any of these typewriter keys keyboards in person, but I can't imagine they offer a great typing experience compared to sculpted keycaps profiles.

All I can say is that they offer a different typing experience. How good or bad that experience might be will depend entirely on one's adaptability and desire/willingness to have fun with the typewriter aesthetic over and above typing speed/efficiency concerns.

I would nab one of the white ones with the univac looking keys in a heartbeat if it wasn't for the carriage return lever. It goes a little to far with the gimmicky theme for my taste. Otherwise it would be perfect for my Note when I find myself up writing late at night.
