Evo80

The ultimate collaboration between QwertyKeys and Neo to create their very own prebuilt keyboard. Embrace the evolution with the Evo80.

Appearance

The 80% TKL layout is ideal for both work and gaming, offering a practical and efficient design. It includes the essential F-row and a customizable F13 key for a balanced, symmetrical look.


Function keys are conveniently located on the right, complemented by a sleek metal accent strip that enhances the keyboard’s design. The dynamic LED lighting adds an energetic touch, making the Evo80 stand out from ordinary keyboards.

Side Design

On the side, we crafted a curvilinear contour between the top and bottom cases to ensure a smooth transition. Coupled with a uniquely colored battery compartment for each case color, your Evo80 looks dynamic and delicate from every angle.

Rear Design

Though the rear side of the keyboard is often overlooked during everyday use, we did not neglect it in our design process. We added a decorative groove that starts at the USB port and gradually becomes shallower towards both ends, subtly enhancing the recognisability of the Evo80.

Anodized & Spray coating

The anodized cases of the Evo80 undergo a superior 220-mesh sandblasting process before anodization, and our spray-coated cases are colored with ultra-fine spray coating powders. Whichever color you choose, you'll enjoy the same smooth and vivid finish.

Butterfly Leaf Spring Structure

The leaf spring mounting system, a hallmark of our original brand Owlab, offers softer support and a bouncier feel compared to typical gasket mounts but is usually reserved for high-end keyboards due to cost. For the Evo80, we’ve innovated with a new butterfly leaf spring structure, shifting the fulcrum to the center for more balanced support. This, combined with a custom gasket and silicone dampener, reduces hollow sounds and resonance, providing a consistent and fatigue-free typing experience.

Effortless Disassembly + Magnetic Connectors

We’ve retained the highly praised ball-catch mechanism and magnetic connectors from the Neo Studio. You can easily open the case with a press and lift, no tools required. Although the Evo80 is ready to use right out of the box, this easy disassembly structure allows you to modify the internals anytime.

Acoustic Performance

While some may claim that all keyboards sound similar with foam, we hold a different view. The acoustic package for the Evo80 is meticulously custom-designed to align with its specific case structure and internal components. Through enhancements in materials and cutout design, it ensures that the Evo80 brings forth the precise sound profile we have envisioned for you.

Keycaps

We chose Dye-Sub PBT keycaps to improve the characteristics of the switches and release the powerful sound of the internals, and also developed new molds to address previous internal housing issues, giving the Evo80 a more excellent sound performance and typing experience.
