QK65’s body consists of three pieces, with the top case and weight being visible and a bottom case hidden in the sandwich. As the most eye-catching part of a keyboard, the top case is a piece of CNC’d 6063 aluminum alloy with an anodized or electrophoretic finish, like most of the custom keyboards that you’d see on the market today. The weight and the bottom case are where we implemented the idea of mass-production. The weight is a stamped 304 stainless-steel and L-shaped plate with PVD coat of our choices.
Please note that PVD doesn’t equal to mirror-polished. PVD usually refers to glossy surfaces like the weight on Spring, but it is only a coating technique that applies color, similar to anodization or spray-coating.
QK65’s bottom case is a die-cast aluminum piece. It isn’t as precise nor as smooth as the top case, but it can be manufactured at a much faster speed thus enabling us to bring much more inventory than using a CNC bottom case.
To suppress the hollowness, the internal chamber is filled with a large custom-molded silicone dampener. No compromise is acceptable for us when it comes to the acoustic performance. We would not have brought down the cost to the current level without this dedicated choice of structure, materials, and processing techniques
Tri-Mode PCB means Bluetooth, 2,4GHz and USB-C connection possible. These boards will come with a battery included. All Tri-Mode PCBs support Hotswap.
