The NEW Standard For Custom Keyboards - QwertyKeys QK65 v2 Review
Рет қаралды 9,977
Innovation, Innovation, Innovation.
Is the QK65 v2 the new standard for custom keyboards? Or will this be quickly surpassed by their future products?
All I know is that this keyboard slaps and I'm a big fan.
I hope everyone has a great holiday period!
Massive thanks to QwertyKeys for sending this out for review.

this was a fun review! Can’t even fathom 30C + in December where I’m at, that’s absolutely wild! The aesthetic is not to my preference, but seeing QK offering 1.6 mm non flex cut PCBs, a wide variety of plates, and now even top mount (and gummy o ring on the neo boards), truly mindblowing! They deserve a commendation for providing newcomers to the hobby with boards that allow for so much customization at such a great price point.

Yeah summer in Christmas just doesn’t feel right haha. But I 100% agree, even a year ago it was difficult to find cheap and reliable in stock options, can’t wait to see what they come up with in the future.

Daym, top mount with all the foams sounds crispy AF. No foam gasket also sounds good so that's a relief. The V1 was already phenomenal but the V2 step it up a notch, well done qwertykeys.

It seems this V2 really distinguishes itself from the V1 and the Neo65. I feel the original QK65 is actually succeeded by the Neo, allowing the new QK to push a more distinct design. While not my cup of tea, it still looks great.
@nevmiku 6 ай бұрын
I have the V1 and of course may be biased but I like the cleaner look of the V1 far better than all the things they added for "distinct" design.

It is 32 degrees here as well. Of course that is Fahrenheit rather than Celsius.

A bit of a young vibe, yet without RGB will not resonate with young audience. I'm sure someone will like it. The simple elegance of the Neo 65 is more my speed. To each their own.

Which plate is more thockier?? the PC or the POM? and does the flex cut of the v2s affect the sound too?
@GlenESton 6 ай бұрын
The LCD badges are so cringe. Please make a simple/plain option for the next one.
@dill-keebs 6 ай бұрын
They do feel tacky imo, wish they had added a plain option too

I think I'm going to get a red one with gold meow badge/led strip, golden mirror weight, non flex cut pcb, and pom plate. It's sitting in my cart right now. This video may have just tipped the scale for me...

What is the deskmat you put underneath your keyboard. Does it make it sound of the keyboard very different?
@dill-keebs 6 ай бұрын
I believe its the 65% light grey keebmat, it does help dampen the sound like most desksmats would do, I just like its small form factor for my desk aesthetics.

Not exactly sure how you feel that a keyboard is "overwhelming" with a backplate. You really do not see that part ever, if anything it just makes for an even better array of photos of your completed build.

No buy for me. Novelty LCD screens instead of keys on a KEYboard... Will get old quick. The magnet connections were nice though.
@dill-keebs 6 ай бұрын
I definitely think it could have been approached better, either way it will be interesting to see how QK evolves as a brand in their design language. I'm also all for the magnet connections, makes building much easier

Did i hear no qmk or via compatibility? Wtf lol
@dill-keebs 6 ай бұрын
It’s an interesting take, but Qwertykeys has their own configurator, which is also used to update the LCD display, so I guess that may have been the reason to prioritise their own config.
