SOMETHING IMPORTANT I MISSED! Qwertykeys does not encourage hotswap plate-less and will not sell Hotswap pcb's without plates. If you have little experience with this it would be in your best interest to buy a soldered PCB if you want plate-less. 👍👍👍😘😀 Also, it’s NICEpbt not ebpt Vasilisa. Shout out to the next comment below lol
wait why does this guy have so little subs if his production quality, knowledge, and commentary is so good? I think it is time we all make this channel blow up. Such a good video, really good editing. reminds me of Keybored
Get outta town!!! Appreciate the love, I must make the viewers happy first. The blowup will come later. I just wanna keep you guys entertained for now.
This was the most informative and quickest explanation of all the questions I had for this board lol. You definitely deserve a lot more viewership in the community. Subscribed 💪
Dude, just stumbled over your video from a Google search about the QK75, and I'm absolutely loving your video style and personality. Absolutely just earned a sub, and looking forward to future vids! Oh and I'm definitely picking FR4 and POM plates with my QK75. Thanks for the great content, don't stop!!!
Love the vibe from the video and how clear you are explaining the depth of this keyboard :) definitely getting the FR4 plate :) as I already have a keyboard with PC plate so would love to try new stuff might as well just order extra plates with it as well.
Glad it was helpful! This is a great board to try so many things with since it has so many features. Really outstanding work by QK. They don't pay me a thing so this is 100% honesty. You wont be disappointed.
@@Akeynote Also I was wondering if the aluminum plate is any good or if I should get poly carbonate instead. I'm not sure which one is better with the gasket mount. I might just go plateless but I'm using durock switches on hotswap so idk tbh.
Nice video! You 100% sold me the keyboard,this is hands down the best and most informative video about the QK75! Also what’s that thing next to your keyboard that is black with green RGB?
Great video! Definitely gonna cop the QK75, it sounds so good. Was wondering where you got the cool novelty keycap and if there was a place that sold more...?
I thought this was a super popular keyboard RUclipsr I didn’t know about since I’ve not been on keyboard RUclips long but then I noticed you just haven’t blown up yet (I’m certain you will) SUPER well made video that was really interesting. Excited to see your future and past content, and your future on RUclips.
Great video, and that cut directly to sound test was very nice. I think I may go with FR4 plate. I'm just hoping they will make a QKrisu sooner ! Couldn't got the Spring Owlab sadly
Great video, we’ll put together. And even better vibes! Purchased the qk75 in the group buy back in December. Patiently waiting for it to be shipped, can’t wait after seeing this video. Cream white, flower knob and leaf badge. Alu and Pom…. Or even better plate less! Hit the sub when you told me it was the part to su-
I really like how you're doing your soundtests, breaking the different sounds out with infographics to show what's going on at a glance. I just jumped in on the GB but one issue I had was the inconsistency of how QK has done the photos. Different colors are using different quality and composition of photos, for example the grey shows the front, back and inside of the case without caps but the blue only shows the front view with caps. The blue looks good but without being able to see it in the same light and position I was torn between these two colors and the photos of the grey were more confidence inspiring.
@@Akeynote I'm in a cap group buy with a space theme so I wanted something dark but not black. Some photos of the blue look super dark, like midnight blue but others look like a medium blue and I just wasn't willing to play that lottery. Grey all day.
Looks like a solid board!! It’s really exciting that pcb-mounted options are becoming more common, here’s to hoping that trend continues! It’s really nice to be able to build plateless!
Just so your aware I made a correction on this. QK actually doesn’t sell the hotswap pcb by itself because they actually don’t support hotswap plateless. So this will be done at your own risk. They offer the solder pcb for plateless. I agree with everything your saying tho lol
@@Akeynote thank you, yep, totally makes sense! I have only done soldered half plates/plateless builds myself, but could conceive that certain switches that were tight enough in the hotswap sockets could work plateless, particularly if the pcb itself is fairly stiff. The QK PCBs seemingly aren’t super soft even with the flex cuts, but it’s great they’re offering the plateless option on an entry level board. I built my Thera plateless and plan to do with my JRIS :)
@@ImOnMy116 yeah I think you’ll be fine! No issue what so ever over here only one that wobbled a bit was the 3 pins but nothing comes 3 pin nowadays lol.
I want to buy this keyboard. I currently am using a keychron Q1. Is the spray-painted finish on the QK75 durable? Im afraid that it might wear out overtime.
Dude, this video was amazing! I've wanted a keyboard like this since YEARS when the first custom keyboard videos started appearing on my youtube. Due to the fact that i'm not an adult yet and i can't get a job and make money so easily, my only alternative was to win a scholarship. Last year i did my best, and guess what? I DID IT BABY!!! Been saving the money for a good custom keyboard since then, and this video made me realize that this is EXACTLY what i'm looking for. Thanks for making this, it gave me a lot of useful information about it and i can see from miles the effort you put into it. Instantly subscribed!
This is gonna be my first Qwerykeys purchase and I'm so excited. I'm interested to build with the FR4 plate, I've never used FR4 in any of my previous keyboards
Very versatile. can thock and clack with the right stuff. Its also stiffer than POM & PC but just the right softness. Its my favorite all arounder for this board.
Haven’t done any extensive research on it but my buddy let me try them. They are nice from what I remember they felt lighter but sound wise he had PE foam in the build so they were deep lmao
@@Akeynote thanks for the quick reply and insight! and how are the red jackets? I’m considering getting some long pole switches for black friday and was deciding between these two 😅
@@phykios these are the V1’s so they are a little different than the ones being sold now. Essentially seem the same except the new ones have very tight tolerance in plates. Almost perfect for this board lol
Hey man, great video keep it up! Just a question, this would be my first custom keyboard (if I buy it ofc) and I don’t really know what’s the difference between plates so I was planning on buying plate less but at the same time I wanted the wireless hotswap version so I need a plate. Which one would you reccomend? Also do you know something about the switches they give in the bundle? I couldn’t find anything on the internet
I would recommend fr4 since it seems the most versatile for me. The different plates will change the softness and sound a bit. Hardest to softness will be Alu, FR4, pom, pc, plateless. Sound characteristics you can compare in the video. Fr4 can be deep or higher pitched depending on the characteristics of your foam, switch and keycap choices. Just FYI, A ton of people think aluminum plate is the best sounding. IMO there is metallic aspect that I don’t care for, but there is no right or wrong here. As for the switches, I linked a video from dr.hey in the description. He showcased the switches. Hopefully that helps!
thank you so much! I think I will take fr4 plate and the anonized blue bundle as I don't know much about switches and keycaps lol. P.D: I thought the switches in dr.hey's video were other ones as he didn't say ashen but then I realized it said qk bundle switches lmao
I'm actually grateful for the different plate sound tests cause I was on the fence about it, I've been really enjoying the sound of R4 but I haven't tried pom yet so I'll probably getting that instead.
Amazing video for testing so much cofig! Gonna choose PC plate. But I'm a bit worry about tactile switches on PC plate will be too soft...what do you think about it?
This board is soft but the mounting style somehow make things really rigid lol. I don’t think there isn’t really a “too flexy” experience. That is compared to a glacier 80 tho which is the flexiest board I’ve tried. That was like a straight trampoline! If you haven’t typed on anything like that you might think this is pretty flexy though. Do you plan no foam? If you plan to use the foam I think you’ll be fine
@@Akeynote Will add plate and bottom foam! Considering PE foam since it's changing so much on sound profile, but it's good to hear it won't be too soft! I'll give it a shot!
Hey! Thanks for the video. Currently deciding between 2 options in the aftermarket. How does the QK75 compare to the Zoom75 in terms of typing feel, flex, build quality and sound? Much appreciate any advice on this. Thanks!
This was really fun video ! As a total noob in the hobby, hoping to get this as first keeb. Can you please make video how to test the PCB before build ?
@@Akeynote SSuper nice ! Will follow this when I get my first keeb, just thought it will be cool to watch a stream or some sort of someone actually doing it 😁🙏
@@Akeynote Oh wow, thanks for that ! Really didnt find that with all the videos i've been watching. Super helpful .. I've susbcribed and will wait for the short 🙏
They are included, but no guides. They only fit in very specific ways. The plate foam goes inbetween the pcb and plate. The PE foam goes inbetween the pcb and plate also, but underneath the plate foam. The case foam goes underneath the pcb.
Another banger review from this quirky weirdo. More power! P.S. Gonna buy one with a FR4 plate. By my experience, it's the more versatile among plate options as you can go clack or thock, whichever way you want in your configuration.
Literally just purchased those key caps with the intent to build onto this particular board ASAP. Thinking the Pom plate with all foam. This will be my 3rd mech board but 1st custom.
@@Akeynote yep, it seems to be a fairly premium option for the price. I’ve looked at some others such as the Odin75 and Tiger 80 but really the QK seems to be as good as any other to my untrained eye.
3 devices. Fn + tab to cycle through the different connections (wired, bT, wireless dongle) The q,w,e will blink meaning your in BT, then you can pair by one of the three connection by holding fn+q,w or e. Since they also include a dongle that works with dongle mode you can technically have 4 different devices be controlled by this keyboard.
looking to order mine pretty soon. do you know if a trimode pcb will come with the daughterboard and jst cable or if i have to buy that separately, i couldnt find anything on the info page.
Dang I wanted to, but the analytics show people always dropping off on those parts of the vids. I guess most people dont care what the opinion is. They just want to hear it lol. FR4 is my favorite, louder than FR4 & PC and just ever so slightly stiffer, but the mounting system makes all plates feel soft. Pom and PC feel wise is so similar I cant honestly tell a difference both very soft, but PC is ever so slightly bendier. Sound wise PC is more muted or cleaner i guess. Like less resonance and a little higher pitched. Unless you do a side by side comparison you wont tell the difference IMO. Some people have amazing hearing and can, but realistic daily use, I doubt it.
@@Akeynote Ah I see, thankyou for the response! I am looking to use Boba U4Ts in the QK75 and was hoping for kind of a marbley deep sound, so FR4 would be my best bet? I also heard that generally stiffer plates are better than softer plates like PC/POM for tactiles?
Oh man I wish this could've came out earlier during the summer since I bought a q1 during that time 😔. Tempted to sell mine for this or the zoom tkl but unsure if I wanna go through the hassle. Good stuff though!
Such a good video. Love this so much. I'm gonna have to get multiple plates and try out all of them. (Even if it wrecks my wallet lol). I've always been a fan of PC and POM, but I really want to try FR4 for the first time.
You don't post videos often enough, and I don't mean that in a "you're a bad content creator" kind of way, I mean that in a "I'm selfish and I want to watch more of your videos" kind of way.
High praise for sure! That is definitely something I’m working on and probably my biggest flaw right now. It makes me really happy you enjoy it though!
I want this keyboard so bad, everything about it is just so amazing! BUT, it not having RGB is a huge dealbreaker to me :(. I wish there were something we could do about this!

Love your comments! Lol
Honestly, such a great video. Just in-time when I am thinking of my next keyboard project. Looking forward to your future content!
Welcome! And thank you so much. It means a lot!
Nice video! You 100% sold me the keyboard,this is hands down the best and most informative video about the QK75! Also what’s that thing next to your keyboard that is black with green RGB?
Thanks 🙏. It’s called the cyberblade from angry Miao. It’s a dac with wireless gaming buds inside of them.
Super high quality content! Your channel is so underrated.
This video was very fun to watch. Well made!
And I already ordered one with PC plate
Your wit made me subscribed.
Well done brotha!
Thank you so much!!!!
Great video! Definitely gonna cop the QK75, it sounds so good. Was wondering where you got the cool novelty keycap and if there was a place that sold more...?
T-labs studio. Unfortunately they only run raffles like most artisan keycap makers.
Great work with the sound test including so many variations! Awesome review.
Thank you so much for watching!
This is such a dope video, man. I love your content. And what mousepad is that? 👀
Thanks! It’s a kitagawa Marin mousepad from red bubble. Unfortunately the seller I bought from doesn’t sell it anymore 🥹

Just ordered the Pom and pc plate for my all black build which I plan to put some Gat Silent Black Inks and GMk Norse on
Sheeeesh
Good stuff, man. Your stuff is only getting better!!
@Anzellmao ?! Someone else has the Anzel handle? That’s weak lol. You’re the only Anzel in my ❤️ lol. Thanks bro! Just trying keep up as always 😇
Loved the energy of this review and what a fire combination of colors on the board and keycaps. 🔥
Hope i stand a chance on the GA!

Red bubble I don’t think they have it anymore try a search tho!
such pleasant delivery of information!
Hey man, great video. Just wanted to know, how's the spray painted version? Are they easily scuffed? Prone to scratches?
Not more or less than an anodized board. I handled this a lot due to multiple builds, and haven’t scuffed it yet. It’s a high quality paint job.
@@Akeynote thanks for the info man. That's good to hear
Hey, nice board! I was wondering, what wrist rest did you use for this build?
I get that a lot lol. It’s an Etsy seller WosinCraft.
Thanks for doing so many sound test variations - I'm sure that was time consuming! You've got a new sub though!
Ayyyye that’s wasup. It did take forever lmao
Great video, and that cut directly to sound test was very nice. I think I may go with FR4 plate. I'm just hoping they will make a QKrisu sooner ! Couldn't got the Spring Owlab sadly

Appreciate this video!!
I'm going to get alu in my original kit and then buy a pom and fr4 plate on the side :)
Nicely done!
Super hyped for this board. Thinking of picking up Pom and fr4 plates, but not sure if it’s worth it to get alu too.
What are your concerns about picking it up? Just sound difference or something else?
@@Akeynote Mainly the cost, because the $20 dollars per plate adds up. POM for sure, and I'm trying to decide between FR4 and alu
Maybe Alu then because it’s vastly different than pom. Hard choice tho because I like FR4 more than Alu lmao. You might like the other lol
Thanks :)
I'll probably get FR4, because it seems like a nice balance of stiffness and since I have a steel plate right now, it'll be different.
I see that deskmat in the typing tests - where can I get one of those?!
Literally just purchased those key caps with the intent to build onto this particular board ASAP. Thinking the Pom plate with all foam. This will be my 3rd mech board but 1st custom.
not a bad place to start. If this was out when I started I would have saved so much more money lol.

Sheesh, I just ordered this. I wonder if this is too much for my first build? I haven't even figured out what switches or keycaps to get haha
It’s perfect for your first build. There is a bundle pack you can order that comes with both. Unless you got a color that doesn’t have a matching set
Great video. Is this the sand blasted chroma weight?
thank you and yes!
how many devices can we connect with trimode PCB version? and if its more than one then is there any option for switching?
3 devices. Fn + tab to cycle through the different connections (wired, bT, wireless dongle) The q,w,e will blink meaning your in BT, then you can pair by one of the three connection by holding fn+q,w or e.
Since they also include a dongle that works with dongle mode you can technically have 4 different devices be controlled by this keyboard.
@@Akeynote thank you so much for such a quick and informative reply.
looking to order mine pretty soon. do you know if a trimode pcb will come with the daughterboard and jst cable or if i have to buy that separately, i couldnt find anything on the info page.
Yup it’ll come with both!
@@Akeynote thank you very much, this is the video i needed to pull the trigger. great content
Love how you did so many different sound tests, but I just wanted to hear you personal opinion on the differences between FR4, POM and PC.
Dang I wanted to, but the analytics show people always dropping off on those parts of the vids. I guess most people dont care what the opinion is. They just want to hear it lol. FR4 is my favorite, louder than FR4 & PC and just ever so slightly stiffer, but the mounting system makes all plates feel soft. Pom and PC feel wise is so similar I cant honestly tell a difference both very soft, but PC is ever so slightly bendier. Sound wise PC is more muted or cleaner i guess. Like less resonance and a little higher pitched. Unless you do a side by side comparison you wont tell the difference IMO. Some people have amazing hearing and can, but realistic daily use, I doubt it.
@@Akeynote Ah I see, thankyou for the response! I am looking to use Boba U4Ts in the QK75 and was hoping for kind of a marbley deep sound, so FR4 would be my best bet? I also heard that generally stiffer plates are better than softer plates like PC/POM for tactiles?
I would say so, but it’s all preference IMO. Pom has a creamier aspect to it.

@@Akeynote Thanks man! Will be entering the Groupbuy tomorrow, good to hear that it will be a good buy!
pretty pog video ty for the hard work
pretty POG comment and you're welcome!! I only want to make these things a little enjoyable for you folks. This comment hits!
Oh man I wish this could've came out earlier during the summer since I bought a q1 during that time 😔. Tempted to sell mine for this or the zoom tkl but unsure if I wanna go through the hassle. Good stuff though!
Daaamn maybe you’ll hit my giveaway in the future lol
Got the ano blue with pom and alu plates.
I'm wandering if I should buy this or the zoom tkl. I'm leading towards qk because it has an EU vendor and paying 200$ for shipping is... something.
Holy guacamole! $200 for shipping, get this lol.
Wish I could get my hands on this one but a lil too expensive for my budget
Such a good video. Love this so much. I'm gonna have to get multiple plates and try out all of them. (Even if it wrecks my wallet lol). I've always been a fan of PC and POM, but I really want to try FR4 for the first time.
I'm going to release a separate video with every configuration possible. It'll definitely come out before the end of the GB.
nice vid! well done
Glad you enjoyed it
I ordered a black one with an alu plate and silver weight. Just have to wait until Q3 in the UK :(.
Omg! Q3 I didn’t know it was going to take that long
They going to offer a PCB with RGB?
No rgb on this one.
The PE foam hits different 😳
You seem cool. Keep up the work!
you seem cool!
Love the video
havent tried a pc plate yet so ill probably try that
You don't post videos often enough, and I don't mean that in a "you're a bad content creator" kind of way, I mean that in a "I'm selfish and I want to watch more of your videos" kind of way.
High praise for sure! That is definitely something I’m working on and probably my biggest flaw right now. It makes me really happy you enjoy it though!
I want this keyboard so bad, everything about it is just so amazing! BUT, it not having RGB is a huge dealbreaker to me :(. I wish there were something we could do about this!
Maybe just add a led strip of your own on the back haha. Yeah sorry no RGB
did I miss it or was there no plateless sound test? :o
Fr4 or alu?
Does the QK 75 support 5 pin switches?
Yup!!!
Thank you 😊
Anyone know where his wrist rest comes from?
Etsy lol. The sellers name is Wosincraft.
