The Lucky65 keyboard from Velocifire boasts an impressive line-up of features at an incredibly affordable pricepoint! There are seven case colours to choose from: five anodized and two electrophoresis coating colours, five types of foam, a tri-mode PCB with included battery, per-key RGB, and a gold-anodized aluminum back weight. There are also five layers of various types of foam, with a mix of IXPE, poron, PET, and EPDM, so you’ll be able to mix and match the foam to your own personal preference. The board also includes pre-lubed Xinmeng V2 plate-mount stabilizers, which have been well-received by reviewers for factory-lubed stabilizers.
Internally, the Lucky65 uses a relatively standard PCB gasket mount system, with flex cuts included in the plate and PCB. PCB options are split between ANSI and ISO support, and both are tri-mode, supporting wired, 2.4ghz, and Bluetooth connections!

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!

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.

TH/LA/MM: NTCH KeysThe 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.
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!
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.

Extra plates and PCBs are available for the QK65; choose from a solderable or hot-swappable ANSI PCB, or 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 Freebird60 is provided by KeebsForAll, who wanted to make an easily affordable, easily accessible keyboard with everything but the switches and keycaps provided! Available in four case colours and the choice of three plate materials with a fourth available in extras, alongside the fact that it ships with a full set of Durock V2 screw-in stabilizers, dampening, and even electrophoresis for the coating – you’ll have a hard time finding better value for a starter board than this!
Also available is the Case Only option, in which you will receive the case, dampener + feet, rubber o-rings and screws, and the carrying case, and will have to purchase all other parts separately.
Extra parts available are additional PCBs and plates in three materials (gold/bronze-anodized aluminum, white POM, and black FR4).
We’re proud to be working with Angry Miao to present the CYBERBOARD R2, paying homage to the classic Saint Laurent’s “Le Smoking”!
Angry Miao officially released its next-generation product in the CYBERBOARD series “CYBERBOARD Le Smoking” on May 27, 2021. Not only has it been fully upgraded in terms of performance and design, it also took a large part of its inspiration from the matte and glossy elements from the Saint Laurent Le Smoking suit. Once again, Angry Miao presents a truly unique keyboard that breaks through the limitations of current manufacturing technology.
With regard to the bold design of this keyboard, Angry Miao founder Li Nan mentioned in an interview that “A good design is impossible without considering the culture context behind the product. High-end fashion brands often inspire design trends within the consumer electronics industry. By paying homage to Saint Laurent and Hedi Slimane, we hope to take a leading role in moving the consumer electronics industry forward when it comes to design trends.”
