Pre-order Starts: January 10th, 2025

Estimated Shipping Date: 5-7 weeks after the pre-order ends. Please note the delay caused by the Chinese New Year holiday has been taken into consideration.

Please note:

Plates designed for plate-mount stabilizers only support the 6.25u spacebar ANSI layout. For 7u spacebar or ISO layout builds, please choose PCB-stab plates.
Although the plate-stabilizer plate is compatible with the WKL case, the bottom row must be built in a 1.5u + 1.25u + 6.25u + 1.25u + 1.25u + 1.5u layout. For most users' typing preferences, we recommend using PCB-stabilizer plates with the WKL case.
Spray-coated Black* case contains micro-glitter.
Per-key RGB lighting significantly increases power consumption, substantially reducing the keyboard's battery life in wireless modes. If you're not a big fan of per-key RGB, we strongly recommend choosing the non-RGB PCB for better battery performance.
Renders are for reference only. Please note that actual product colors may vary under different lighting conditions. Color differences between the render and the actual product will not be considered a quality issue.

Important Information Before Buying

QK101 is a full size custom mechanical keyboard featuring the Gasket & Top dual-mounting structure and CNC-machined full aluminum case.
The keyboard features a customizable screen with multiple built-in themes, allowing users to personalize their keyboard by uploading custom foreground and background GIFs that sync with typing speed. A dot-matrix LED on the side offers multiple display modes that interact with your typing as well.
Three PCB options are available, each with different flex-cut designs and RGB lighting options. All PCBs support ANSI and ISO layouts, along with tri-mode connectivity (wired, Bluetooth, and 2.4GHz), powered by dual 4000mAh batteries. All PCBs use QK's custom VIA web configurator for keymapping and screen customization since the standard VIA software does not support advanced screen features.
There are six plate options available in two materials: aluminum and FR4. Each material comes in three variants: without plate cushion, with plate cushion for plate-mount stabilizers, and with plate cushion for PCB-mount stabilizers. The plate cushion, a new addition to our acoustic package, attaches to the top of the plate to focus switch sounds and better highlight the unique characteristics of different switches. Note that plates designed for plate-mount stabilizers only support the 6.25u spacebar ANSI layout. If you plan to build with a 7u spacebar or ISO layout, you must use plates designed for PCB-mount stabilizers.
The keyboard features interchangeable magnetic badges—a smile face design on the front and a QK logo on the back. The back badge slot doubles as storage for the 2.4G dongle. Badges from previous Qwertykeys products, including the QK80 and QK65v2, are compatible with the back badge slot.
