QK65 MK3
The design of the QK65 MK3 aims to evoke a strong sense of nostalgia among typists, offering lasting comfort for both work and play. It’s like a sensory time machine that takes them straight back to the turn of the millennium. Every detail is a nod to old-school aesthetics, serving as portals to cherished memories and simpler times.
Dedicated Display & Dynamic Matrix Screen
Contrasting Waistline Design
The Signature Lines of Retro Handhelds
Customisable Screen
The “MARK” series screen has earned a loyal following, and the 65MK3 continues this signature feature. It includes three built-in theme animations that can be easily switched using the buttons below the screen.
The screen is topped with an arcade inspired nameplate that harmonizes with the rest of the design.
Theme Animations
Dynamic Island
Create your own desktop companion, inspired by what you love such as your favorite anime character, your pet in a cute cartoon style, or anything that makes you smile.
Cats & Dogs Theme
It continues the iconic cat-typing theme of the QK80 MK2 while introducing a new cyber-dog skin. Each time you press a key, the cat or dog mirrors your action, creating a more engaging and interactive experience.
Animal Supermarket Game
We have built in a spelling game that perfectly complements the theme of retro gaming consoles. Take a break, enjoy the fun, and see if you can beat your own high score. Ready to challenge the kid you once were?
3 Dot-Matrix Displays
The dot- matrix display resembles a mini handheld console, perfectly fitting the retro console theme. It continues the three themes previously featured on the QK101 and QK80 Mk2. The button below the screen lets you switch between modes.
Functional & Aesthetic Knob
The two knobs on the top of the keyboard embody a design that bridges function and aesthetics. They add a touch of nostalgia while maintaining full practicality. The left knob switches between Windows and Mac modes, and the right knob controls the connection modes. The screen simultaneously displays the changes when you turn the knobs.
PCB Gasket Structure
PCB gasket structure enables the PCB to serve the dual core functions of switch fixation and force transmission simultaneously, ultimately achieving an enhanced combination of typing feel consistency and improved sound profile.
For this release, we have prepared four PCBs and five plate types, truly embracing the spirit of customisation by allowing everyone to find the configuration that suits them best.
Sound Performance
The Acoustic Chamber Design focuses sound reflection for greater consistency, combined with a specially tuned sound profile to fully unleash the sound potential of the QK65 MK3.
Optional Matching Keycaps
QK has designed a dedicated colour-matched keycap set for each of the five QK65 MK3 colourways.
Every order of the QK65 Mk3 keycap set will receive 70 Rye switches free of charge.
