In the past four months, my girlfriend and I have made four cakes together, although I played more of a helper role while she did much of the work. The first was for her birthday, the second was a joint birthday cake for her and her friends, the third one was for my birthday, and the most recent one was for an engagement. I think the difficulty of cakes is not necessarily making the distinct parts but putting everything together. For one, it must be structurally sound. This means you may have to flatten the cake layers. You also need to ensure each component can hold up under its own weight or under the weight of other layers. Secondly, you need to find good combinations of flavors. You have the freedom to throw multiple flavors together, but they must fit together. Coffee cake may be normal, but would it work with a strawberry filling or a lemon icing? Finally, the most challenging part is decorating the cake. I lack dexterity and a steady hand, so I am always impressed with what my partner can do with buttercream, pastry bags, and piping tips. Today, we have a different sort of cake in the form of the YUNZII C75 MAO Cake Kitten wireless mechanical keyboard. In many ways, a modern keyboard is much like a cake, with its many layers that need to fit together physically, thematically, and functionally. Does the YUNZII C75 MAO Cake Kitten keyboard take the cake with a cohesive design? Let us read on to find out!
Today's review unit of the YUNZII C75 MAO Cake Kitten arrived from Amazon DCG2 warehouse, located in Rocky View County, Alberta, Canada. Traveling with Amazon's own shipping, this box came to our APH Networks location in Calgary, Alberta in excellent condition. There is no external damage to be concerned about. There was a bit of packing paper inside to protect the product inside, but nothing else is contained in the corrugated cardboard box.
Out of the shipping container, the retail box consists of a brightly colored sleeve around a tan box. On the top is the name "C75 Cake Keyboard" with a YUNZII logo nearby. In the middle, there is a picture of the keyboard in a scaled-down fashion. It is placed over a purple plaid background, which shows the keyboard we received is purple. This keyboard is also available in pink at the time of the review. In addition, there is another similarly named YUNZII C75 Cake Meow, but there is one primary difference between these two models, as you will see shortly. At the bottom, there is a descriptor of "Wireless Mechanical Keyboard". Around the back, there is some certification and product information. Otherwise, I removed the sleeve and opened the box.
Before we continue, I have grabbed the specifications from the manufacturer's website:

Out of the box, the YUNZII C75 MAO Cake Kitten is in a translucent plastic bag with a clear hard-shell cover to provide some more protection while the keyboard is in transit. There are two boxes marked Accessories. One contains additional keycaps, two more key switches, and a combination keycap and switch puller. The second box holds a purple braided 1.8m cable. There is one more envelope, which contains all the paper documentation for the C75 MAO Cake Kitten, a sheet of stickers, and a greeting card, presumably to give to someone. As this is a cake-themed keyboard, this is a cute and on-topic add-on.
