QK101

Interchangeable Badges

Above the number pad, we've added magnetic badges that spell out "101". These customizable badges offer several interchangeable options:

Circular badge: The circular badge on the front features a smiley face that can be swapped with the circular logo badge on the weight.

"1" badges: The two "1" badges on the front can be swapped with the "T" and "L" badges on the right side of the back.

The design files for the badges will be released later to allow users to design their own badges and make their QK101 truly unique.

Customisable Screen

The QK101 features enhanced screen customization through its new dynamic theme. You can now upload and independently control separate GIFs for the foreground and background using key combinations. The foreground GIF's position and size are fully adjustable to your liking. As you type, both GIFs automatically adjust their playback speed to match your typing rhythm.

This feature enables playful interactions, such as displaying "Street Fighter" animations, or you can simply show a background GIF.

ANSI & ISO PCB Layout

ALL PCBS:

  1. Support USB-C, Bluetooth, and 2.4GHz connections
  2. Compatible with both ANSI and ISO layouts (ISO layout requires PCB-mount stabilizer plate)
  3. Support both WK and WKL layouts
  4. Compatible with both 6.25u and 7u spacebars (7U requires PCB-mount stabilizer plate)
  5. Using QK's custom VIA web configurator for keymapping and screen customization, as standard VIA doesn't support advanced screen functions
