[Pre-order] QK101 Keyboard Kit

Pre-order ends 5th February. 

Estimated Delivery: Late Q1 for Air. Q2 for Sea. 

The consistent demand for the QK100 has demonstrated that a significant number of users heavily depend on number pads for their daily tasks. This insight has inspired us to develop the QK101, a "100+1" keyboard that caters to those who require a numpad. The QK101 not only provides additional keys but also enhances functionality, introduces more design elements, and offers greater structural flexibility.

Similar to the QK80 MK2, the QK101 marks our third-generation design, featuring a comprehensive structure overhaul and upgrade. We are committed to continually introducing new themes and features, ensuring that they are also integrated and synchronized with our previous projects.

Mounting Structure

Building upon the QK100, we've significantly upgraded the QK101's internal structure and sound profile. We've added more diverse structural options to enhance customization and deliver an improved typing experience.

• Gasket Mount—Bouncy

The PCB gasket mount features enhanced flexibility while maintaining a consistent typing feel. The QK101 offers a softer, bouncier typing experience than QK100, striking an ideal balance between comfort and responsiveness.

• Gasket Mount (Reversed)—Firm

For a firmer typing experience, you can flip the gasket mount over. This creates more contact between the gasket and bottom case, resulting in a more rigid feel.

• Top Mount—Firmest

For those seeking the firmest setup, the top mount option secures screws directly into the top case, providing maximum stability and an extremely solid typing experience.

Customizable Screen

Besides the themes available on the QK80 MK2, the QK101 features enhanced screen customization through its new dynamic theme. You can now upload and independently control separate GIFs for the foreground and background using key combinations. The foreground GIF's position and size are fully adjustable to your liking. As you type, both GIFs automatically adjust their playback speed to match your typing rhythm.

This feature enables playful interactions, such as displaying "Street Fighter" animations, or you can simply show a background GIF.
