Finally, A "FULL SIZE" Keyboard From Qwertykeys - QK101

[@albertko1]

I'm starting to see some designers also use flex/relief cuts in the spacebar in an attempt to make the spacebar a little less "thuddy"... the cushion plate it does tamp down the heavy sound impact vs the alphas. Very interesting, hopefully we see this as a option in the upcoming Neo Cu 65 & 60 too!

[@Keybored]

I hope so too!

[@Luci_71]

a really easy way to mitigate it is not put a mounting point under the spacebar

[@lockheartmac]

I recently got the HMX Butter and Latte. The Latte are a bit quieter, but the Butter just pops so good. I am absolutely in love with BUtter.

[@Keybored]

Right? Butter is a very nice switch overall! Kind of expensive but great sound

[@phil21s]

Aesthetics aside, I really don't get why they put in the screen and shifted the cluster up one row. In my opinion this goes against the number one reason for a full-sized keyboard: muscle memory and retaining that for when you have to work with 'regular' keyboards in between. It is not that bad, but then you could also just go 98%. I just wanted a full-size keyboard that has all those premium custom features and that isn't a keychron or some super obscure group buy....

[@jammies701]

Moving the delete key I don't understand, as you said

[@lemonhaze1506]

Yeah that’s a massive design blunder, it’s ruined the whole purpose of full-sized being accessible and convenient

[@21EpicFail]

Just getting into custom mechanical keyboards as a hobby and I only want to get full sized boards! This is great news! I just purchased Redragon's K580 Pro as an upgrade from my 7 year old Cooler Master Membrane Keyboard and OMG is it such a difference. Can't wait to try and mod this thing to make it sound deep and feel great... what a fun hobby!

[@LettersEF]

I always watch you and Hipyo together

[@Colourkeys]

I really love the clackinest of the HMX Butter and I was surprised by the sound of the QK101 especially the FR4 foam-cushioned plate w/ the foams.

[@simondudek8721]

Ive been waiting for something like this. I was debating getting a 80 with a qk or zoom pad thing. Otherwise great keyboard. I wish more keyboards alsosupported southpaw, it would be interesting to see something like a dr70f but full size, where you could switch the sides of a full size without buying a seperate pad.

[@Keybored]

I really haven't seen full sized keebs for a while. So for those that wanted that, this is Def a welcome surprise!

[@nikeadidas9555]

Damn I just bought some HMX Butters last night prior to this video’s release for my QK101, the timing on this is impeccable. Good to know my choice of switch was right lol

[@WiBla]

Not a fan of the design, but I have to admit, that second build with the foam, it actually does sound quite good

[@Keybored]

Didn't think I'd like it but... I did haha

[@SparxCarnival]

I prefer the softer, "new age" build although I would be using this 'in the office' and fear my coworkers may find even that option too loud. I guess I could use Silicone Switch Dampening O-Rings to help 'muffle' it (throwback to 5 years ago) and maybe an extra layer of Neoprene Rubber Sheet? What makes me nervous about building it myself are the stabilizers. Maybe go with the new Swagkeys Knight Stabilizer V3s?

[@jasonmxx]

i use the nav cluster a lot. they should have just put the screen on the top row. screen is useless in a keyboard anyway

[@Keybored]

Good comments!

[@holdenhodgdon3756]

It is funny that you used the same switches as Hipyo.

[@adriansolis5362]

I by chance checked out Hipyo's video first, but that was a nice coincidence!

[@SeraphimKnight]

If this keyboard had come out 2years ago I'd have absolutely jumped on it with the force of an meteorite... as it is I've gotten used to 75% layout and tho I miss my numpad the deskspace I get in exchange more than makes up for it. I'm still rocking the original release Qk75 as my daily driver and it's been an amazing keyboard.

[@lattech]

one of my favorite keyboard

[@Keybored]

Thanks for stopping by! I really loved how the QK101 turned out!

[@WinkleKeebs]

I was struggling bewteen Vertex Intro 100 or QK101, but I decided now🎉 To wait Neo100

[@Keybored]

Haha neos are great

[@albinohopper45]

Fr, I hate the designs of the qk101 and qk80 v2

[@WinkleKeebs]

@@albinohopper45 Vento80 has ping issue at 4 corners, I guess QK80Mk2 also shared same issue. And now, QK is a bit over design (it is good thing) but I just like the product line in NEO Because NEO more focus on solid typing experience.

[@quikspecv4d]

I’m pretty happy with my QK100. This looks really nice though

[@MarbsMusic]

QK is my go to brand but I just don't have the room for a full size anymore... this looks like a fantastic board though. Still loving my Neo75cu, probably the best typing board I have used in quite a while. The Neo80 and QK75n were great but I think the Neo75cu is oh so slightly better! Board looks amazing with the latte! I'm loving Drop DCX as well... of course GMK has been the go to for a while but I have DCX on almost as many boards now, especially for more basic color designs. Perhaps it's my imagination but I think they are ever so slightly deeper then GMK. The board sounds amazing with those switches!!!

[@albertko1]

@@MarbsMusic you're not imagining things with DCX... They definitely seem a tad bit warmer than GMK or Keykobo for me.

[@Madblaster6]

Did you and Hipyo colab on this? Why the same switches?

[@Keybored]

@@Madblaster6 he made a video on this too?

[@andrewc5397]

qk delivers yet again!

[@Keybored]

They don't disappoint much!

[@mickg929292]

do you have any suggetion for how to tweak the spacebar on the QK85? Still can't find stabs that won't rattle on this model

[@Keybored]

@@mickg929292 have you tried other space bars? Sometimes a warped space bar makes it rattle quite a bit. The other thing is to make sure your pcb and plate is completely straight and not warping

[@robojimtv]

You forgot to mention QK's evo line which is the prebuilt one

[@liquid801hlm_9]

Patiently waiting for the Keybored100 to come out via pcbway to replace my QK100...

[@wilsonjevin]

I got the Zoom98 a couple months ago... I wish I waited for this 😭😭

[@sentimentalhermit]

Owlabs, Qwertykeys, Neo... what about Evoworks?

[@coldReactive]

Unfortunately, I do need Scroll Lock. Sorry Qwertykeys.

[@robojimtv]

You could program the F13 to do that I guess

[@esra_erimez]

I *just* ordered polycarbonate plates for my Keychron Q6 keyboards (yes, plural, I have 3), so I *must* resist this keyboard. 11:40 it sounds *too* good

[@zXykos]

Did you get the neo60cu and neo65cu?

[@Keybored]

Not yet!

[@WiBla]

@@Keybored So excited to see your review of those I'm planning to get a Neo65cu purple / brass to go with GMK Phantom :)

[@TGJPN]

Should have gone with a classic 104 key, without the screens and bling. A standard, classic 100% keyboard from Qwertykeys would have been perfect. This QK101 is a hard pass.

[@johngonzalez9621]

Did I miss it? Or did you not explain the screen at all?

[@Keybored]

I had an early proto and my screen wasn't working yet

[@cactuscat8009]

I really dislike the design (personal opinion) but it is very wierd and annoying to have the cluster broken up for the screen etc. I have the qk100 and am very pleased with that clean minimal design on it. Surely wont buy this though

[@makmakg242]

Will you ever review the Lucky65 V2 soon?

[@Keybored]

At this point, I'm a bit overloaded and can't get to it 😕 sorry

[@makmakg242]

@Keybored I'll wait for it regardless, i'll just comment as usual for reminders

[@albertko1]

Weikav now has plenty of other boards than the 65v2. The Stars lineup (ripping off AM's aesthetic) or D75... yet another 75% budget entry.

[@makmakg242]

@albertko1 yeah but I like the Lucky65 V2 because there's no other aluminum 65% keyboard that is feature-packed and feels like typing on a Tofu65 with an affordable price alone.

[@hmuy0608]

​@@makmakg242You're better off saving for a Neo65 instead, unless you're okay with a foam board. The Lucky65v2's case literally resonates by just rubbing its side, making any sort of foamless build sound bad.

[@machine211]

Of course they had to take away a few keys. Typical QK

[@xaionik]

Not made for me. $250 is too much for a keyboard.

[@gidi1899]

please custome a keyboard to sound like a chicken puk puk pkuuk .. So much that listening to typing is like listening on a conversation between chickens. * or crickets or bees or birds twits
