QwertyKeys
Neo98 - 98% Mechanical Aluminium Custom Keyboard Kit [Express Preorder]
🧩 Neo98 – Productivity Meets Precision
The Neo98 is Qwertykeys’ answer to the demand for a compact, fully featured layout built with uncompromising quality. With its 1800 layout, it offers all the advantages of a full‑size keyboard — including numpad and navigation cluster — while remaining significantly more space‑efficient and visually refined.
✨ A Design That Redefines Understatement
- Crafted from high‑quality aluminum with precise anodization in multiple color options
- Minimalist lines, clean geometry, premium feel
- Seven harmoniously matched top/bottom color combinations
- Large stainless steel weight (Mirror PVD or spray‑coated) for added mass and a deeper acoustic profile
🔊 Acoustics That Impress
The Neo98 uses a carefully engineered, multi‑layered acoustic design:
- Segmented acoustic chamber in the bottom case to reduce resonance
- Forcebreak layer between top and bottom case to minimize metallic vibrations
- Multiple dampening layers: plate foam, Poron case foam, IXPE sheet
- The result is a controlled, full, and modern sound — whether marbly, thocky, or clean, depending on your build.
🧱 Three Mounting Options – Your Feel, Your Choice
The Neo98 offers maximum flexibility:
- Poron gasket mount – soft, bouncy, modern
- Silicone gasket mount – slightly firmer and more muted
- Top mount – classic, more direct, with clearer feedback
The Poron gaskets sit in a clever slotted structure — no adhesive, no residue, easy to swap.
🧩 Modular & Fully Customizable
- ANSI or ISO hotswap PCBs
- Tri‑mode PCBs with wired, Bluetooth, and 2.4 GHz wireless connectivity, including dual 2,200 mAh batteries
- Wired PCB with stainless steel filler weights instead of batteries
- Plates available in PP or aluminum
- Interchangeable badges and weights
- Compatible with all common MX‑style switches
This product is a custom keyboard kit, meaning the keyboard comes without keycaps, switches, or stabilizer lubricant.
All other required components (PCB, plate, stabilizers, keyboard case) are included.

Neo75 & Neo98
Born from community passion, the Neo98 answers years of anticipation, while the Neo75 option offers compact versatility. Both embody our design philosophy: understated elegance, exceptional detail. Choose the layout that fits your style.
The Crowning Glory
The design is minimalist in appearance, yet every detail is meticulously engineered. The badge is crafted from mirror-polished stainless steel, with every surface meticulously ground. Like a platinum ring, it sits nested into the keyboard with quiet precision.
Bottom Weight
Featuring a generously sized stainless steel weight, available in either a mirror‑PVD or spray‑coated finish.
Bottom Case Acoustic Chamber
To suppress the hollow cavity resonance from the bottom case, we adopted a chamber-segmented design. This reduces vibration frequency and enhances overall acoustic performance.
Forcebreak
We've added a forcebreak layer at the contact points between the top and bottom cases, creating a soft barrier between the metal surfaces to dampen vibration noise.
Structure
For Neo75 and Neo98, we use the well loved Poron Gasket design from the Neo80 Cu.
Traditional poron gaskets rely on adhesive, which makes replacement difficult over time and often leaves residue. Our grooved structure eliminates the need for adhesive, holding the poron securely in place and making replacements easy.
