The Neo65 from Neo Studio and QwertyKeys features a unibody case with an ultra-slim bezel and an inward sloping edge on its side, a minimalist design that blends seamlessly with any desk setup, regardless of theme. Available in nine colours, the Neo65 also features an engraved external weight in your choice of brass, copper, or steel!
Internally, the Neo65 uses a dual-mounting system that supports both PCB gasket mounting and a gummy O-ring mount, and features improvements to both – such as a specially designed gasket that holds the PCB/plate assembly in place, or a groove at the blocker that allows the O-ring to be easily installed! Finish your build with a PCB and plate of your choice, with a variety of options available to pick from for each!

Brought to you by Wind Studio, WIND X98 is an aluminum gasket-mounted keyboard with a modified 1800 layout, based on the WIND X (65% + Numpad) with added function keys. Following the minimalist style of the WIND X, the board features a slender brass weight on the back and a brass accent above the arrow keys on top, as well as a multicoloured PVD ‘X’ logo on the front between the Escape key and the F-row to catch the eye.
WIND X98 has a number of extras available for separate purchase, including extra PCBs, plates, weights, accent pieces, foam kits, and much more!
The SALVATION combines the soft and vibrant typing experience of an innovative leaf spring mounting system with a 60% tray case design.
The PCB is supported by silicon rubber standoffs attached to FR4 (fiberglass) leaf springs mounted to the case. Foam pads underneath the leaf springs provide vibration dampening and force modulation.
The leaf springs provide exceptional flexibility, allowing the entire plate/PCB subassembly to yield under keystrokes and vibrate in isolation from the case. The result is a typing experience that is soft and vibrant across the whole keyboard.
The SALVATION is designed for customization and experimentation. Build it with the stock FR4 plate, or use third-party 60% plates made of metal or plastic. Build it half-plate or plateless. Tweak the foam pad placement to make the leaf springs more or less flexible. Modify the stock FR4 plate to have slots that match the WT60-D WEIRDFLEX PCB, or into a half-plate design. Make your own leaf springs out of other materials.

Introducing the third board from Neo Studio and QwertyKeys – the Neo80! Seeing as how the 80% layout is bulkier than the typical compact keyboard, the Neo80 was designed with a curved edge and chamfer in addition to the Neo series’ iconic slim side bezels, giving the board a softer appearance. Effortless assembly is core to the Neo series’ identity, but an alternative to the unibody case design had to be considered due to the limitations of the 80% layout – eventually settling on a custom ball-catch structure that fits the board’s slim profile without compromising the design. The Neo80’s layout omits the F13 key to make the board more practical for everyday use, and is available in both WK and WKL configurations!
Internally, the Neo80 supports four mounting solutions, adding a new sandwich mount to the regular options of plateless, gasket, and o-ring mounting. Like other modern boards produced by QwertyKeys, the Neo80 uses magnetic connectors that remove the need for cable management. Finally, the board comes with a hotswap or solder PCB, and your choice of plate material!

You asked for it and QwertyKeys has delivered! The QK100 has everything you need, including an F-row, numpad, and even an LCD screen complete with fifteen bezel options, making it the ideal office workhorse and a perfect gift for friends and family who crave the familiarity of a full-sized board. As with the other boards in the QK series, the QK100’s case features clean, quality design, and is made of 100% CNC Aluminum, available in anodized and e-coated finishes with twelve colours to choose from! There are ten weights in a variety of finishes to pick from, including the all-new colour-shifting “Synth” finish, as well as the popular “Ice Crystal” finish – returning from the QK80 GB! Being that the summer is coming up, a camping theme was chosen this time around – with the external weights featuring a mountain peak-shaped indent, and the internal weight etched with a calm tenting scene.
Internally, the QK100 uses a dual-mount system, allowing users to choose between the classic PCB gasket-mount and the often-requested top-mount. Flex-cut PCBs this time around feature a per-key cut inspired by the Mr. Suit, and a variety of non-flex cut options have been made available by popular demand. As always, Tri-mode PCBs configurable through QK Config are available, this time in both ANSI and ISO variations, and are joined by both solderable and hotswap wired PCBs that are fully VIA-compatible, each supporting split and 2u backspace layouts, as well as both stepped and regular Caps Lock keys. The usual plate varieties of Alu, FR4, PC, and POM are available, and are additionally joined by a brand new Carbon Fibre plate!
Finally, there was quite a bit of feedback from people who were upset that a bundle wasn’t available for their chosen case colour on prior projects, so QK has given everyone the ability to choose one of four keycap sets to bundle with their QK100! Naturally, bundles will include 110 switches to complete the build, and QwertyKeys assures us that we can rest easy, as the estimated delivery time for the bundled boards will be the same as the barebones this time around.

Developed in association with Swagkeys, the Qwertykeys QK80 is a welcome addition to the QK family! Following the same design principles as the rest of its kin, the QK80 has a simple but appealing design, featuring an all-CNC Aluminum case, a bouncy PCB-mount structure, an abundance of colour combinations across its ten cases and twelve weights, and a few new surprises!
The QK80‘s layout is a slight deviation from that of a standard 80%, with an F13 key and a Tsangan bottom row to give it a symmetrical appearance from the front and your choice of WK or WKL top case. The usual spread of cases and weights are available, and are joined by the new “Ice Crystal” weight, whose sparkly surface is remarkably resistant to fingerprints! A rectangular steel badge adorns the board’s underside – placed in the middle of the external weight and secured via magnet, making it particularly easy to swap out – and is available in either polished plain, or one of three laser-engraved patterns!
Internally, the QK80 uses a PCB-mount structure with two sets of gaskets included, allowing you to customize the hardness of the mounts and create your desired typing feel. Available PCBs include wired and tri-mode hotswap PCBs in a variety of configurations, with a wired solderable PCB also available for enthusiasts seeking to do a plateless build. Additionally, wired hotswap PCBs include per-key RGB lighting and are easily configurable with QMK/VIA software. Plates of the usual materials – Alu, FR4, PC, and POM – are available, and each material features different flex cuts to provide a softer typing experience.

The Mercury65 keyboard has been crafted over the past year through a love for space. The back engraving is one of the defining factors of the Mercury65: each bottom piece has to be machined and anodized perfectly to achieve the two toned effect you see on the engraving. This means any pieces with blemishes surface issues must be scrapped to ensure every customer can receive a flawless back piece.
Numerous optional parts are available for the Mercury65! Four badge colours, four plate options, and an extra solderable PCB or a hotswap PCB.
MM Studios are debuting their newest creation: the Class 80, a TKL board inspired by the retro aesthetic and iconic white-and-red case of the Famicom. Inheriting the wide bezel design of its predecessor – the Class 65 – the Class 80 has a vintage chunkiness that gives it an air of authenticity, furthered by the distinctive controller-shaped weight on the bottom of the board and the included buzzer and solenoid to give you that old-school sound. Class 80 is available in three colourways; an aluminum case in E-white or E-red, or anodized black. Furthermore, both solder and hotswap PCBs are available, with a hotswap BLE PCB option for those who prefer a wireless board.
Extras for Class 80 include a wide variety of full and half-plates, PCBs, indicator lights, a signature keycap set, spare solenoids and buzzers, and more!
Following the interest in and success of the Freebird60 keyboard, KeebsForAll has decided to expand the Freebird product line with the Freebird Numpad Lite and the Freebird Numpad Pro!

QwertyKeys has come a long way in a relatively short time – back in 2022, they released their first board, the QK65, officially launching the brand, and have continued to make customizable mechanical keyboards accessible to more and more people, regardless of budget. Now, almost two years later, they’re introducing a new generation of their milestone project – the QK65v2!
Seeing as how the original QK65 had a very safe and minimalist design, the QK65v2 incorporates the LCD screen and badge/bezel customization featured on the QK100, letting it stand out and giving it more of its own identity. Other changes include moving the boards cosmetic LED strip to the top left corner of the board, and an accent that exposes the bottom case on the front side of the board, rather than the back. Internally, the board has seen some revisions, with both top and gasket mounting supported for the build process, and featuring the positively received magnetic PCB connectors, obviating the need for internal cable management. Additionally, a clip-in mechanism has been incorporated in the case design, allowing the QK65v2 to be disassembled in a matter of seconds simply by popping off its feet and releasing the clips.
Plates are available in the usual five materials – Alu, CF, FR4, PC, and POM – and the QK65v2 features a tri-mode PCB with your choice of an ANSI or ISO layout!

The KBD67 Lite R4 is a 65% keyboard made of injection-molded ABS plastic, sublimated in Pantone 2645U dye to give it a distinct matte lavender finish. The plastic material lends the chassis a light weight that compliments its compact layout, while reducing the production cost so the board doesn’t break the bank.
The KBD67 comes with everything you need to get started: a hotswap PCB, a polycarb plate, KBDfans stabilizers, case foam, and a coiled USB-C cable. Additionally, there is a custom lavender-and-gold FR4 plate from Bredworks available for separate purchase. Just add switches and a keycap set of your choice, and you’re off to the races.

Designed to honour the materials used in its construction, Chapter 1 shows off the parts that make up the board in a sophisticated and striking fashion. Mix and match plates, knobs, and weights to create the board of your dreams, with hundreds of possible combinations! All Chapter 1 boards come with a shell case and a promotional comic book, and several deskmats that match the comic’s style are available for purchase!
Chapter 1 features an engraved single-piece weight that spans the width of the keyboard, creating an amazing typing sound that only gets better with higher density weight material like brass, copper, or steel! Each Chapter 1 case also comes with an encoder knob that matches the material and colour of the chosen kit, with alternate colours and materials available for separate purchase!
Finally, the Chapter 1‘s leaf spring plate was designed to achieve a bouncier, softer typing feel that is perfectly realized in the polycarb and aluminum plates, with the brass and copper plates providing a more rigid option for those who prefer a more traditional typing experience!

Following the success of the Neo65, the Neo70 is being designed as a long term project with multiple rounds to address FOMO and better serve interested customers! Derived from the Neo65 but designed with a FRL TKL layout, the Neo70’s unibody case features QK’s signature minimalism, with an inward-sloping edge on the board’s side, and a compartmentalized case design that separates the function keys and the alphas, minimizing any potential hollow sounds and allowing for easy access and adjustment!
Like the Neo65, the Neo70 uses a dual-mounting system that supports both PCB gasket mounting and a gummy O-ring mount, with easy-to-assemble magnetic connectors and new, more durable gaskets! Finish your build with a PCB and plate of your choice, with a variety of options available to pick from for each!

The KL-90 from Kiko Labs has returned, this time in beautiful polycarbonate fashion! The KL-90 is offered in four colours: Midnight Black, Tiffany Blue, Purple Haze, and Frosted Ice, and not only has the choice between a solderable and hotswap kit, but also between having dual encoders and an encoder + OLED screen combo.

Originally conceived back in 2021, before the foundation of Deadline Studio, the New Retro #66 is designed to mix the modern with the retro. The board features a “layer-up” structure that encases its opaque aluminum case in a translucent polycarb shell, further decorated by spliced parts, exposed screws, and aesthetically-pleasing brackets and blocks, giving it its signature cobbled-together, almost prototypical appearance.
Extras for New Retro #66 include PCBs, plates, rods, brackets, knobs, and blocks!

Designed by Cub Studio and manufactured by QwertyKeys, the Cub65 is a small form factor board with a cute rounded case. The Cub65 comes in ten case colours spread across both anodized and e-coated finishes, and is accented by a 1cm-thick steel weight on the boards underside and a steel badge at the top right corner of the board’s titular 65% layout. This weight features a decorative engraving of Cub Studio’s logo and is available in both sandblasted PVD and e-coated finishes, each with four colours to their name, while the badge found on the board’s face has six delightful designs to choose from, matched to the colour and finish of the chosen weight.
The Cub65 uses a gasket-mount structure and has a customizable sound through QwertyKeys’ signature 3-layer foam set, as well as a custom-moulded silicone dampener that sits on top of the weight. Both tri-mode and wired hotswap PCBs are available – tri-mode PCBs are configurable through QK Config, while the wired PCBs are VIA compatible and feature per-key RGB lighting. As always, Alu, FR4, PC, and POM plates are on offer, with the Alu and FR4 plates featuring flex cuts that increase their bounciness, making the typing experience more consistent with the intended feel.

LiNK65 is a 65% board packed with innovation and creative design, representing a push forward as well as a return to Owlab’s roots. Spurred by the laborious repetition of assembly and dismantling countless prototypes, Owlab was made to ask a simple question:
“How can we simplify the build process?”
The answer comes in the LiNK65’s elegant screwless case design, inspired by the mortise and tenon joint structure that has been used in the construction of wooden structures for over 7000 years. The top case is made from anodized or electrophoresed aluminum and finished using an anti-fingerprint technique, whereas the bottom is made from sandblasted and PVD-coated stainless steel, enhancing the sound profile of the board by reducing resonance with its high material density. The bottom case also includes a PVD-coated trunk that serves as the lynchpin to the board, providing an eye-catching glossy component to the bottom’s facade while keeping the pieces snugly in place, but ready to disassemble at a moment’s notice. Both the top and bottom case are available in a variety of colours, with a total of 60 combinations!
Internally, the LiNK65 utilizes a mounting system inherited from Owlab’s Spring board and tweaked with a number of improvements – some notable examples are a reduction in the size of the leaf spring chamber to reduce echo and obviate the need for plate foam, and the addition of the ability to install rings and nibs directly to the plate, further easing assembly. Although improvements have been made to create a distinct sound profile without the need for foam, Owlab’s signature three-piece foam kit is nonetheless included, and features a new plate foam piece that seals the chamber between the plate and PCB, owing to an improved Poron blend with a higher foaming ratio. Due to the simplicity and ease of assembly, we encourage you to try multiple different foam configurations to find what works best for you!
As is typical for Owlab’s projects, plates are available in a total of four materials (Aluminum, FR4, Polycarb, and POM). In keeping with the theme of simple assembly, the vertical beams have been removed from the space on the plate reserved for larger modifier keys, opening up access to the stabilizers, and allowing them to be adjusted or even removed more easily. Finally, both solderable and hotswappable PCBs are available for purchase, and both feature a brand-new collapsible “slip” design inspired by bamboo slips, a popular form of stationary from the era before the invention of paper.

Under Wind Studio’s wing, Daring Run’s first project, the DR-70F, comes in strong with a striking and familiar aesthetic, high-quality production and low cost on top of its unique reversible layout! Not a fan of the standard layout? No problem – rotate the PCB and top case, now it’s a southpaw layout! Similar to Wind Studio’s X series, the DR-70F features the two case parts separated by a distinct brass piece, this time accompanied by a gorgeous matching weight on the back. Provided with the kit by default are a three-piece plate set for gasket mounting, and an additional full plate can be purchased for sandwich mounting.
The DR-70F offers a range of PCB options, from soldered, hotswap wired, and hotswap bluetooth, alongside a plethora of plates, weights, and other extras available!

The QK60 is another entry in Qwertykeys’ oeuvre of highly affordable and highly customizable keyboards, more than suitable for beginners and enthusiasts alike! Key among the innovations that the QK60 brings to the table is support for three layouts – WK, WKL, and HHKB – as well as the option of a sandblasted acrylic top case in addition to the anodized aluminum tops typically found on a QK board.
As always, the aluminum bottom case and steel weights are available in a variety of colours, giving you a great deal of aesthetic choice when combined with the chosen top case. Internally, the QK60 comes with your choice of plate material and one of three hotswap PCBs, two of which have tri-mode wireless functionality – able to be used with a cable, Bluetooth, or an included 2.4GHz USB-A dongle – with a wired PCB rounding out the offerings!
