Evo80 - 80% TKL Fully-Built Mechanical Keyboard [Preorder]
Evo80 - Embrace the Evolution a 80% Custom Mechanical Keyboard
Vom ersten Tag an war es unsere Mission bei Qwertykeys und Neo Studio, die Hürden für mechanische Tastaturen zu senken und einem breiteren Publikum ein angenehmes Tipperlebnis zu bieten. In den letzten zwei Jahren haben wir uns darauf konzentriert, unsere Produktionseffizienz zu verbessern, um die Kosten zu senken und die Wartezeiten für unsere Kunden zu verkürzen. Da sich unsere Bemühungen gelohnt haben, glauben wir, dass jetzt der richtige Zeitpunkt gekommen ist, um die Probleme bei der Montage anzugehen.
Dies hat zur Gründung von Evoworks geführt - einer neuen Produktlinie, die von Experten von Qwertykeys und Neo Studio mitbegründet wurde. Unser Ziel bei dieser Produktlinie ist es, vorgefertigte mechanische Tastaturen anzubieten, die die gleiche hohe äußere Qualität wie alle unsere anderen Produkte aufweisen und sofort einsatzbereit sind. Wir sind stolz darauf, unser erstes Flaggschiffprodukt vorzustellen, ein Werk der Hingabe und Exzellenz - die Evo80.

🌟 "I absolutely adore your product, but I'm unsure how to put it together. Could you assemble it for me?"
"The case design is stunning! However, do I have to purchase switches and keycaps separately? Must I wait months to complete my build?
From day one, our mission at Qwertykeys and Neo Studio has been to lower the barriers to mechanical keyboards and provide an enjoyable typing experience to a wider audience. Over the past two years, we've focused on refining our production efficiency, aiming to lower costs and reduce wait times for our customers. With all our efforts paying off, we believe now is the right time to address the concerns regarding assembly.
This has led to the creation of Evoworks — a new product line co-founded by experts from Qwertykeys and Neo Studio. Our focus with this line is to offer pre-built mechanical keyboards that maintain the same high exterior quality as all our other products and are ready to use out of the box. We are proud to introduce our first flagship product, a work of dedication and excellence — the Evo80.
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.
Weight Design
On the back, we moved beyond the plain single-piece rectangle weight. Instead, we split the weight into two sections, using the golden ratio to reflect Evoworks' commitment to legacy and innovation within our brand family. Together with the LED strip on the front, they’ve become the most impressive design signature of the Evo80.

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.
Plate + Switch
Keyboard enthusiasts often encounter a delightful dilemma: the vast array of switch and plate choices on offer, which can be daunting for newcomers. To simplify this decision, we've designed two distinctive switch and plate pairings tailored to different sound profiles. Each combination has been thoughtfully engineered, with meticulous attention to the structure and lubrication of the switches to ensure they offer impressive performance right out of the box.
Option 1: Azure Linear Switches + FR4 Plate
The Azure Switch has a crisp and refreshing sound. Paired with an FR4 plate, it provides a clacky and satisfying sound profile.
Option 2: Oat Linear Switches + PP Plate
If you’re looking for a thocky marbly keyboard, opt for the Oat Switches. Paired with the PP plate, they deliver a more rounded and creamy typing sound.
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.
