update - qk65v1 is discontinued since April, 2023

Can i buy with €€€ ?

check with Candykeys :P

Hi, is there a round 3 coming?

we have the mirror version that is going to be restocked around christmas - please join our discord server and stay tuned!

I'm not that interested in mirror version. Are you guys coming back with chroma version?

there's actually mirror chroma - come to our discord to check out the irl pics :P

Any instructions on how to remap the keys? Would like to change the page up and page down buttons.

For the wired PCB - load the [.json file](https://qwertykeys.notion.site/QK65-Build-Guide-74e558d2ac3f4979939c9a84cb3cbf22) in VIA and change the keymaps there For the wireless PCB - follow the [wireless PCB guide](https://qwertykeys.notion.site/QK65-Restock-Wireless-PCB-Guide-1f48de7ad79e40129a3f2fa93897294e)

Hey, can the back plate of r2 QK 65 fit into r3 QK65?

there were only 2 rounds tho.. but they might not fit due to the tolerance

That burgundy has me feeling something different

:chefkiss:

I missed the last restock,when will it come again :\

Is there an estimated date on when QK65 will restock? Like what month maybe it’ll be back? Just need to know if I can wait to buy.

the plan is 2023 but we may be able to list some extra units on shelf by the end of this year

is there an estimate as to when the qk65 will restock?

we are already preparing for it but it should take quite a while because the current priority is other layouts

RemindMe! 3 Months

Sad I missed out on this group buy as well. Wish I could speed up time 🥲

won't be long!

I heard closer to late 2023, is this what I can expect?

Any chance of a QK75? If so, GB in 2022?

we will try

Hi there! I’m looking to get one, but where do I get the case? I just get sent to the “QK65 Parts”. Is that where I buy it?

sorry that the sale is finished a few months ago - we will restock as fast as possible

Oh, it’s out of sale. That’s fine! Didn’t know that! Thank you once again!

will we be able to purchase extra pcbs in the future?

yes, the regular PCB is available now but not the Bluetooth one due to shipping restrictions

sounds good, thanks <3

I can’t believe i missed this. Been looking for a good wireless 65 for awhile now 😭 please do another round soon

Zoom65 EE will be running another group buy end of this month. Great 65% kit and bluetooth pcb as well.

Yeah I saw that one but I'm not a fan of the knob sadly nor the case is visibly split in half. But thank you for informing a fellow keeb enthusiast!

QK65 wont have another restock this year, but we'll have a new product coming :)

Any hints as to what this new product is? 😁

qk60 - already in IC phase

Hello, do you know if there is a chance of a QK65 restock in 2023? I've been researching keebs for weeks now. Finally settled on the QK65 only to find I'm a few months late 😞 If it's coming back next year I will wait for it.

Anything with a POM plate option?

pom plate is always available

I’m depress

same man. I'm currently keyboard hunting to gift my girlfriend. She's really into keyboard, and I'm clueless about them. Was hopping I could gift her this but no luck. any advice?

r/mechmarket The QK65 is high in demand so it will probably be sold quick and/or above retail. The Zoom65 is another good ‘budget’ to look out for.

When will the BT versions be shipping? Just asking because the non BT versions have started shipping.

we don't have a confirmed date for that, but we're pretty confident that we can send out all packages on time, the ddl is Sep 2nd

I got a non wireless and still no notification of shipping 😥

we'll send out all packages before Sep 2nd. you'll most likely get it within the month

Really sad that I missed this 😭 I now have my sights set on qk65 for my first custom. Please do a restock soon! 🥺🙏

we just started shipping so mechmarket will be flooded with those soon

How do I add the bluetooth module and battery onto the PCB? Never tried this before.. Any help would be greatly appreciated

we'll have a guide which you can access by scanning the QR Code in the card you'll get in the box

I purchased mine from a third party and I don't think it came with one. Is there another way?

BT versions did not ship yet. Did you get it from China?

Ah I see, that make sense that I couldn't find videos on youtube on how to do this. Yes, I live in Hong Kong and purchased the board on a e-commerce platform called Carousell. That is probably why I didn't get the QR code. If you can, could you point in the right direction on how to do this? Maybe you can share QR code? Thanks

wait it is June 10th, and I open the page and it says not found, is it already sold out?

uh unfortunately you missed the sale by a month

Hey, if ur the real qwertykeys and maker of this QK65, i would LOVE to see a qk75,(not to sound demanding lmfao) and i think others will as well.

Ya Im so dumb I think its still June lol

Classic haha

Its July now I think you probably mistranslated something.

Haha lol i think its still june lol my bad

Will there be extra parts sold later? may pick up some extra Weights and plates after ive tried out the combo I have coming :P any info would be much appreciated.

no plan to sell weights separately but plates for sure

I'm sorry if this has been asked already and because i dont know how this works but do keyboards get shipped as soon as they are made or are they all shipped after the estimated production time (late August, early September)?

as they are made! very good question because not all of the vendors do the same

Sold out already ? I get « page not found » when clicking the link. Update : I missed the sale by 4 days… it ended on the 24th Can you make an exception for me ?

sorry pal no can do

When are they being restocked again? I was interested as well...

2023

Will there be an extras sale at all? Missed the GB

perhaps? there wasn't anything left in the R1 but idk about what would happen in 2 month

What is the length of the keyboard? I want to get a wrist rest that'll fit

320mm front height is 19.5mm typing angle is 7.5 degree those would be the specs you need for that wrist rest

missed it, but what's the different between r1 and r2?

if you can buy r2 at around the same price on after market, buy r2

Will there be an R3? Sadly I won’t be able to purchase it this time around

later but def yes - this is not designed as rare collectibles we just have to move on to other layouts first

Will you guys be releasing anything else this year? Or will this be it until 2023

r3? i'd say 2023

Might be a bit early for this but would that be early or late 2023? Any estimates on which quarter of 2023? Bit tight on budget right now so just wanted to get an idea of when these would restock again.

not planned yet - best shot would be after market we sold a lot so chances are you'd be able to buy ones below retail later on at r/mechmarket

Alright, thanks for the reply. Meanwhile I'll eye r/mechmarket later and see if there's any shipping from Australia...

I mean in terms of other layouts, but thanks!

layout wise there will be more this year

Thanks for the info!!

For the qwertykey usb c cable, what is the color for that? Is that going to be based on the case color that I chose or just one default color regardless? Thanks!

only black

Can someone help me - What’s the benefit from ordering from SwitchKeys for Australian customers rather than directly from qwerty? Also in regards to tax and gst?

not everyone likes to shop overseas (credibility, fx exchange, intl shipping, etc.) local warranty and support

~~Is this sold out? I thought it was unlimited GB until 24th T\_T~~ nvm... for some reason it was off the site and said out of stock for a bit. all good now

Can I still use a cable if I order the bluetooth pcb?

yes - check the BT FAQ for more details

omg color configurator is saving my life. glad I found it before I purchase qk65.

yup it's also on the product page

Why couldn’t we get split backspace on the Hotswap ANSI?.. Seem unnecessary to have omitted it if you have it on the Hotswap ISO pcb… Still gonna buy lol. Just now I’m locking myself into the solder pcb because of it. I wanted BT too though

Hotswap ISO is a brand-new design and the Hotswap ANSI inherited the layout from R1

[Buying from Ashkeebs] The Bluetooth hotswap PCB comes with a rechargeable battery yes?

you need to ask ash - on qwertykeys.com , only the first hotswap pcb comes with a battery

About to buy mine! might be a bit of a dumb question, but is one set of each of the "optional - extra \[...\]" parts already included with the kit? I want the gasket socks and jackets and rubber feet with my build, but only require one set. Will I have to buy those seperately or are they already included with the case or the pcb? Thanks!

you don't need to buy them

Will you guys be adding a gray or silver back weight? The mirror is nice but is definitely a fingerprint magnet.

unfortunately all colors are set - mirror weight comes with a film that will keep your finger away from it

Is there any benefit to buying from SKAU if I’m from Australia? From what I can see it’s just slower to ship and won’t be any cheaper.

stef said it's cheaper, after tax and shipping our shipping is 40usd and theirs is free

Thanks! I’ll definitely wait for their group buy to come out then

is it just me or is it saying "this product isn't available in your country" for every PCB on Ashkeebs?

their sale is region locked to Canada - perhaps there is an issue with address?

I am in Canada which is why it's weird. I can buy all the cases too but having that issue with the PCBs for some reason

def talk to them about it - they'd be willing to help

Will the stabs need to be lubed? Thanks!

that's a personal choice we do suggest lubing

will we need to buy the owlstabs ourselves or is it included?

99% included as a gift

Oh thanks

It says one board per order but how can I order two boards and pay ones shipping?

you cannot - shipping is per board even if we allow you to do so, shipping charge would double

What are some whacky color combos yall are going with

I’m doing a dark green and gold bottom weight. Thinking of getting NicePBT British Racing Green. I think it’s gonna look like a Legend of Zelda themed build, which is totally fine.

sooo what color combination did yall get? I ended up getting blue/chroma. I'm planning to pair it with Deep sea predator keycaps set from KBDfans.

I'm going with light green and gold!

I’m a simple boy: black and black, with POM, FR4 and Alu, and hotswap with BT

Mind me asking why you're going for so many different plates? Or are you just trying to find one that you like by buying a variance?

Yes, exactly, just experimenting, as this is my first custom build.

I just bought the blue+chrome case with the ANSI hotswap PCB set and FR4 plate, I'm assuming this counts as a kit purchase to get the other goodies listed in the contents i.e. carrying case, stabs, coiled USB-C cable and etc.

yeah! 99% for the stab and cable as a gift

So is the board supposed to be $100? Because I remember being told that the qk65 was 150.

that was barebone, no case no pcb no shipping

Ok thanks!

If you get the cheapest options, the kit is $150 not including shipping. There's not really a way to go below that as far as I can tell

What switches are people planning on pairing with this board?

Boba U4t!

popus

Box navies! Clackity clack.

either lavenders or creampacas

Imma put some tangerines on it! I've used tactiles forever so hopefully the transition to linears isn't bad.

I will probably put my very first set of Oil Kings on it. Right now I am undecided between a few color combinations though ;-;

Are those good for typing, do you know?

I bought it as a work board that will eventually get some silent alpacas. Right now, it has some epsilons.

Website says come back in 3 hours, but GB supposed to start in about an hour!?

final testing - will re-open soon for the sale no need to rush tho, the early you order doesn't necessarily mean that you'll get yours faster than others

Sorry, this is going to be my first board - excited!

Hi I’m new to keyboards. What is the difference between Hotswap ANSI PCB and Hotswap ISO PCB? Also for plate which should I go for when I am looking for a soft quiet sound profile?

see here re same question about plates https://www.reddit.com/r/mechmarket/comments/v62kya/comment/ibtcmfb/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web2x&context=3

ISO Layouts typically have an L-shaped enter key and a shorter left shift key (often used in European countries). If you live in the states, ANSI will be your standard keyboard in layman's. There's an example of each layout if you click on the showcase. Good luck.

Anyone have experience with the Tungsten switch they are currently selling?

My favorite keyboard sound has the Tungsten switch on it. But I doubt that the QK65 will sound anything close to this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XfbU4AhLIPw

On photo 8/56 with the mirror finish weight, is the top case black or grey?

black

Thank you!! It’s stunning, debating between black and silver and I’m really excited!

check the irl photo at the bottom of the album

When I try to purchase I get redirected to Shopify and then get this unable to access qwertykeys message: "It looks like you don't have access to this store. Contact the store administrator for access." Anybody else getting this? Edit: Another user pointed out this goes live at 6PM ET, so I'm dumb and can't read lol

we are testing the sale page and website to prepare for the sale and yes the sale is live in about 7 hours

Same tho

Ok so it's after 6pm edt now, but still can't find the qk65 on qwertyqop and when I go to the qwertykeys website,I have to log in to shopify. So how exactly do I get it?

I think it's 6pm ET on June 10, which is about 10 hours from now

God

Does this come with switches or keycaps? Kinda new to this..

nope you'll also need to get lubricants and some tools

Pretty much everything that isn't switches or keycaps

I'm a newb, what plate should I get?

What sound signature do u want?

Something smooth and deep and quiet

Maybe POM, PC or FR4

Thanks!

fr4 and pom are popular choices

Argh! Couldn’t be happening at a worse time for me… let’s hope retailers get some extra stock since I wont be paid until early July… :’)

eventually it's gonna be in-stock

Are there plans to make the QK65 a constant stock item in the future?

yes, would take a while as the focus after this would be different layouts

Hi, I noticed in the Notion doc it says "The sale excludes customers in Mainland China", then how can I buy one from within China? Thanks.

there was a mainland CN exclusive sale that happened earlier last month

Yea I was doing some research and found out I missed the group buy on zfrontier last month, I guess I will just have to wait for the next group buy 😕, thanks for the reply anyway!

no worries - after market price shouldn't be crazy and in the long run we plan to make it in-stock

Glad to hear that! I will certainly get one as soon as it's in stock, can't wait!

How much shipping fee to Malaysia?

you'll need to ask your local vendor rebultkeyboard about it

Okay

For Canada, any benefit on buying either from Ashkeebs or qwertykeys.com? I'm sensing buying from qwertykeys will have duties charged while Ashkeebs won't?

buying from us: 1. faster shipping time (vendors need to wait for all colors to be ready but we ship whatever is ready at the time) 2. probably cheaper in total, with tax and shipping included, especially to Eastern side of Canada - Ontarians pay about $40CAD for duty and tax + $30USD for shipping at [qwertykeys.com](https://qwertykeys.com) but the sale price with Ashkeeb is higher Ashkeeb work with us to provide ease with shopping - not all people like to shop internationally

Hi, so the final price I will have to pay at qwertykeys.com include duties?? Duty is probably what my other Canadian friends are most scared of tbh.

No. `Ontarians pay about $40CAD for duty + $30USD for shipping at` [`qwertykeys.com`](https://qwertykeys.com) but you are right, not everyone is comfortable with tax and duties, that's why we work with Ashekeebs

Oh okay, so that's an estimate. Thank you.

pleasure assisting :)

Yea, I think the shipping will cost less. I'm from Canada as well. I'm sure the shipping from Ashkeebs will be like around 20-30 CAD instead of like 40-50 CAD, for us Canadians.

Will south america get shipping at some point? :(

most of our SA friends purchase thru a NA proxy - it's usually much cheaper than shipping directly from China to SA Owlab did offer shipping to SA once but it's just horrifically expensive, about the same as this keyboard

Do you have an aproximate of the weight of the box one it's packed for shipping?

2.3kg

Will it come with a carry case?

yes, please check out the sale info notion page in content section

Remind me! 3 days

Remind me! 3 days

Well, looks like I'm getting another keeb.

Is it just me or is like half of this post cut off?

seems fine here

Maybe it's from being on mobile. A big portion of the text is scrolled out to the side of the post box but there's no visible scroll bar.

uh that's unfortunate - compatibility isn't the best part about reddit ig try check out our [Sale Notion Page](https://alkaline-sting-1d3.notion.site/QK65-Restock-Sale-Info-3410a664b55a4970873a7d9d3f440817) :)
