The QK65 R2 shares much of its predecessors design, providing great value without sacrificing aesthetic or acoustic quality, and features a CNC-machined aluminum top case with anodized, coated, or electrophoretic finish, a PVD-coated stamped steel plate, a die-cast aluminum bottom case, and a large molded silicone dampener that comfortably fills the space between.
Choose from a solderable or hot-swappable ANSI PCB, and a plate made of your choice of aluminum, FR-4, polycarbonate, or POM. All PCB and plate variations have unique flex cuts, and each PCB includes two pieces of case foam, allowing the QK65 to provide a wide range of user-defined typing experiences.

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.

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.
