Btw, production version will have torx screws. QK just confirmed.

[Allrj]

Fun-ish fact about Phillips head screws, they were actually designed with the intention of camming out (or stripping) to help with a fast effective way to tighten a screw without over tightening for assembly lines.

[zacharycangemi]

This guy is fucking great, what a great dude. Bro made me stay up till 3 am watching this.

[gabriellundmark]

I love this design actually. It’s busy, but retrofuturist and whimsical so it works IMO.

[ChubiPanda]

They should have gone the Zoom75 route and included modules for the screen and badge. Someone buying a full size wants more keys.

[Pegasuskitty]

i just built the zoom98 a few weeks before I heard about this board, now I'm looking for a board for to build for my brother but lowkey want to steal this for myself if i do get it LOL

[Jackofafewtrades]

It's always the bongo cat with you people, isn't it? I mean, it's the only correct option, but still.

[xsouldriverx]

I would be inclined to convert my second QK100 to this but its too hard to give up the CF plate. I really like the matrix type screen. Like 80s Sci-Fi

[tongchen]

What’s the name of switches used in the video?

[iLuvCats]

Really wish the new plate was used for this. Nice lookin board. Wonder what their 75mk2 will look like.

[Casper]

I like full size keyboards . I need more of them coming out in 2025

[zero]

I would love to see this as a southpaw version just because I use a sp-111 for work and as much as I love the I guess the first variation, having this as southpaw would be nice and unique (plus I can hot swap if want to, not gonna desolder a whole board which I need for work lol)

[nikeadidas]

kinda new into the hobby and was checking on reviews on this board, alot of people are saying its "matrix" themed/inspired? Can anyone explain what that "matrix" part means? i tried googling but im getting a keyboard manufacturer that doesnt seem to match the theme of this board, so im not sure if i have the right approach.

[longcao]

Looking at the chat I saw someone mentioned issues with the plate cushions, can someone tell me exactly what it was? I pre-ordered this as soon as it was on with plate cushion option and now I'm a littlte bit worried

[Luna-sfrn]

i understand that you like clack but it would be super useful to use foam for these builds if it comes with it just to compare, some of us do like foam :(

[Muaz]

pog in the big 2025 💔🙏😭
the typing and the small cat are my favorite except the keyboard size like dam 😭

[cceyxx]

QK101 V2 classic (without that utterly useless screen) when?

[LastSecBloomer]

Just wait for the Vertex Intro S100 instead if you need a budget full size, unless you really want a China (tm) board...

[kyuriii]

okay, I don't use 100%s and need the whole nav cluster, but I GASPED at the bongo cat lcd option. I don't care for screens in general, but I've always felt the need for a typing speed-responsive bongo cat animation in my life. :'(

[potat_]

Honest to god seeing you type gives me anxiety, can't really hear the press of the switches if you press them that frenetically 😭
