Know before you buy
The butterfly leaf-spring mount provides a unique, flexible typing feel that offers more consistent flex across the entire board compared to traditional gasket mounts. It is designed to give the Evo80 a softer, more cushioned bottom-out experience.
The ball-catch system allows you to open the aluminum case without using traditional screws. This makes it significantly easier to access the internals for maintenance or plate swaps without the risk of stripping screw holes.
Yes, the Evo80 features a hotswappable PCB that is compatible with most standard 3-pin and 5-pin MX-style mechanical switches. You can swap your switches at any time without needing to solder.
The keyboard is equipped with dual 4000mAh batteries, totaling 8000mAh. Depending on your RGB brightness settings and usage frequency, this capacity is designed to provide weeks of wireless use on a single charge.
Yes, the board is fully VIA compatible. This allows you to remap keys, create custom macros, and adjust your RGB lighting settings through a user-friendly interface.
The FR4 plate is stiffer and produces a brighter, crisper sound profile, while the PP (polypropylene) plate is more flexible and results in a deeper, 'thockier' acoustic signature.
