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.

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!
True to its name, Ellora65 retains the ever-popular 65% layout, setting itself apart from the competition with a left-side macro column and knob, as well as a programmable OLED screen on the upper-right.
Several optional parts are available for the Ellora65; including five plate materials, eight colours of aluminium knob, and three types of PCB!
Check out the Ellora65 Keyboard here!
Please Note
- Hotswap PCBs will need to have the encoder knob and OLED screen soldered to them, as they do not come pre-soldered from the factory.

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.
Extras for the QK100 include spare plates of all five materials, PCBs, daughterboards, as well as three bezels for the board’s screen in five different finishes! All PCBs come packaged with PE and Poron foam, but be advised that tri-mode PCBs purchased on this page do not come with additional batteries.

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!

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!
Extras for Neo80 include spare plates and PCBs, kits containing gaskets or mounting essentials, and more!

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!
