Know before you buy
The butterfly leaf spring mechanism provides a more flexible, cushioned typing experience compared to standard rigid mounts. It allows the plate to flex slightly with each keystroke, reducing finger fatigue and creating a softer, more consistent bottom-out feel.
The Evo80 features a hotswap PCB, meaning you can easily pull out and replace switches without any soldering. It is compatible with most standard plate-mount mechanical switches, allowing you to customize your typing feel whenever you like.
The magnetic connectors and ball catch design allow for a sleek, screwless aesthetic without compromising structural integrity. The CNC aluminum case remains heavy and stable on your desk, ensuring the keyboard stays firmly in place during intense typing sessions.
Yes, the keyboard is fully compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux. Because it is VIA-programmable, you can easily remap keys and adjust your layout settings regardless of which operating system you use.
The Polypropylene plate is softer and more flexible, which enhances the 'thocky' acoustic profile and provides a gentler typing feel. The FR4 plate is stiffer, offering a more precise, snappy response that many enthusiasts prefer for gaming or faster typing.
The Evo80 is equipped with dual 4000mAh batteries, providing a total capacity of 8000mAh. This is significantly larger than most wireless keyboards, ensuring weeks of use on a single charge depending on your RGB lighting settings and connection method.
