<aside> 🌟 "I absolutely adore your product, but I'm unsure how to put it together. Could you assemble it for me?" "The case design is stunning! However, do I have to purchase switches and keycaps separately? Must I wait months to complete my build?
From day one, our mission at Qwertykeys and Neo Studio has been to lower the barriers to mechanical keyboards and provide an enjoyable typing experience to a wider audience. Over the past two years, we've focused on refining our production efficiency, aiming to lower costs and reduce wait times for our customers. With all our efforts paying off, we believe now is the right time to address the concerns regarding assembly.
This has led to the creation of Evoworks — a new product line co-founded by experts from Qwertykeys and Neo Studio. Our focus with this line is to offer pre-built mechanical keyboards that maintain the same high exterior quality as all our other products and are ready to use out of the box. We are proud to introduce our first flagship product, a work of dedication and excellence — the Evo80.

The traditional 80% TKL layout keyboard includes most of the keys needed for both work and gaming, making it one of the most practical layouts for daily use. And that’s the reason why we chose this layout for our first launch. Besides the regular F-row, we also retained the customizable F13 key, which contributes to the highly aesthetically pleasing symmetric appearance.
On the right-hand side, we kept all the function keys for your convenience. Taking a minimalist approach, we only incorporated a sleek metal accent strip beneath the function keys. This strip not only harmonizes with the keyboard's front design but also elevates its visual appeal. The dynamic lighting effects of these LEDs infuse the Evo80 with a sense of energy and motion, distinguishing it from ordinary keyboards and enriching your interactive experience.
Though the rear side of the keyboard is often overlooked during everyday use, we did not neglect it in our design process. We added a decorative groove that starts at the USB port and gradually becomes shallower towards both ends, subtly enhancing the recognisability of the Evo80.
On the side, we crafted a curvilinear contour between the top and bottom cases to ensure a smooth transition. Coupled with a uniquely colored battery compartment for each case color, your Evo80 looks dynamic and delicate from every angle.
On the back, we moved beyond the plain single-piece rectangle weight. Instead, we split the weight into two sections, using the golden ratio to reflect Evoworks' commitment to legacy and innovation within our brand family. Together with the LED strip on the front, they’ve become the most impressive design signature of the Evo80.
Qwertykeys and Neo Studio are renowned for their industry-leading craftsmanship, and Evoworks shares the same commitment to excellence. The anodized cases of the Evo80 undergo a superior 220-mesh sandblasting process before anodization, and our spray-coated cases are colored with ultra-fine spray coating powders. Whichever color you choose, you'll enjoy the same smooth and vivid finish.
The leaf spring mounting system is one of the proudest structural innovations of our original brand, Owlab. Compared to the commonly used gasket mount, it provides softer support and a bouncier typing feedback. However, due to cost constraints, the leaf spring structure is typically only utilized on high-end mechanical keyboards.
We altered the existing leaf spring structure by shifting the fulcrum from one end to the middle, creating the brand-new butterfly leaf spring structure for the Evo80. Combined with our specially designed gasket, this new mounting structure provides more balanced and stable support for the plate, making the typing feedback across the keyboard more consistent. The gasket also acts as a cushion between the plate and the leaf spring, eliminating most potential hollow sounds. Additionally, we added a silicone dampener between the leaf spring and the bottom case to solve resonance issues.
In daily use, the butterfly leaf spring structure provides soft yet solid support for each key press. Making your fingers less likely to fatigue even after a long time of typing.
