Evo80 - 80% TKL Fully-Built ISO ANSI Mechanical Keyboard

Embrace the Evolution

The Evo80 marks a turning point in the world of mechanical keyboards. Developed by Evoworks — a joint product line by the renowned manufacturers Qwertykeys and Neo Studio — it pursues a clear mission: to make the premium world of custom keyboards accessible to a broader audience without compromising on materials, build quality, sound, or typing feel. The result is a keyboard that arrives fully assembled, wireless, and ready to use — yet feels as though you built it yourself from the finest components.

80% TKL Layout with Its Own Character

The classic Tenkeyless layout offers all the essential keys for work, coding, and gaming — on a footprint of just 357 × 136.4 mm. The additional, freely programmable F13 key ensures a perfectly symmetrical look while giving you a flexible shortcut key at your fingertips. An elegant metal accent strip beneath the function row and a subtle LED strip on the front underline the modern, minimalist design.

Butterfly Leaf Spring Mounting — The Next Evolution

The Evo80 features an evolution of the leaf spring mounting system originally pioneered by Owlab — a structure previously reserved for high-end custom builds. Instead of placing the fulcrum at the edge, the Evo80 shifts it to the center. This butterfly construction, combined with custom-designed gaskets and silicone dampeners, delivers an exceptionally soft, balanced, and bouncy typing feel that significantly reduces fatigue during long typing sessions.

Premium Materials, Crafted Without Compromise

The case is made from solid CNC-machined 6063 aluminum. Anodized variants undergo a high-quality 220-mesh sandblasting process before anodization, while spray-coated versions are finished with ultra-fine coating powders — both processes deliver a silky-smooth, vibrant surface. On the underside, the Evo80 ditches the usual rectangular weight: instead, it's split into two sections following the golden ratio, complemented by a contrasting battery compartment — a visual detail that makes the keyboard interesting from every angle.

Ball-Catch Mechanism & Magnetic Connectors

The Evo80 can be opened completely tool-free: just press, lift, done. This is made possible by Neo Studio's proven ball-catch mechanism combined with magnetic connectors. So you can swap switches, modify foam, or simply clean it whenever you want — without unscrewing a single screw.

Neo Oat Linear Switches + PP Plate

We offer the Evo80 with the Neo Oat Linear Switch (formerly known as Keygeek Oat) paired with a Polypropylene (PP) Plate — a configuration carefully tuned for a rounded, creamy, "thocky-marbly" sound profile. Deep tones with a satisfying bottom-out feel — perfect for long typing sessions.

Actuation force 46g · Bottom out 45g · Total travel 3.6mm · Factory lubed

Custom-Tuned Acoustic Package

The multi-layer foam package (PORON, PET, IXPE plate foam, and two case foams) is specifically tuned to the Evo80's internal structure. Material selection and cutouts are calibrated so that every keystroke produces exactly the sound profile the developers envisioned — without hollow resonance, without metallic ping.

Tri-Mode Wireless with Long Battery Life

Whether at your desk or on the go — the Evo80 connects three ways:

• USB-C (wired, 1000 Hz polling rate)
• 2.4 GHz Wireless via dongle (1000 Hz polling rate)
• Bluetooth (125 Hz polling rate)

Two integrated 4000 mAh batteries with NTC fast-charging chips provide days of use without reaching for a cable. Compatible with Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android — a Mac add-on keycap set is included.

Full Customization with Hot-Swap & VIA

The tri-mode hot-swap PCB (1.2 mm flex-cut) supports 5-pin MX-compatible switches — swap them without soldering. Through the open VIA/QMK software, you can remap every key, program layers and macros, or fully customize the per-key south-facing RGB lighting. NKRO ensures every keystroke registers, no matter how fast you type.

Who Is the Evo80 For?

• Newcomers to the custom world who want premium quality without building
• Heavy typists & coders who appreciate comfort and sound over hours of use
• Enthusiasts looking for a high-quality daily driver with modding potential
• Gamers who value 1000 Hz polling, NKRO, and precise linear switches
