Evoworks 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.

Side Design

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.

Rear Design

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.

Weight Design

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.

Butterfly Leaf Spring Structure

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.

Effortless Disassembly + Magnetic Connectors

We’ve retained the highly praised ball-catch mechanism and magnetic connectors from the Neo Studio. You can easily open the case with a press and lift, no tools required. Although the Evo80 is ready to use right out of the box, this easy disassembly structure allows you to modify the internals anytime.
