In this video I’m diving into the QK 101 by QwertyKeys, and it’s basically a full-size board that’s trying to be a statement piece and a productivity monster at the same time. The one I built is that red aluminum with the gold back weight and yeah… it’s giving royal vibes. Design-wise it’s definitely louder than older QK boards like the QK65/75/100, but I like that it’s bold. The magnetic badges (including that smiley face) are interchangeable, and the screen is the real flex—typing-speed synced animations, separate foreground/background GIFs, and just pure “why not?” energy. I also go through the layout and build options: 1.2mm or 1.6mm hot-swap PCBs, multiple mounting styles (bouncy gasket, firm gasket, and a firm/top-mount feel for precision), and a plate cushion that helps focus the sound. Plate choices are FR4 or aluminum only, so if you love super-soft plates like POM/PP, that’s a tradeoff—but the cushion + foam stack can get you a really clean profile, even on a board this big. Then we get into the fun and the real talk: it has wired, Bluetooth, and 2.4G with dual 4000mAh batteries, plus the dongle hides under the back badge (small detail, big W). It even has built-in apps like Flappy Bird. My biggest gripe was the build taking patience—switches were annoying to seat with all the foams (especially the PE sheet), and I’d love a couple extra case screws in the box. Still, if you want a feature-packed full-size that sounds great and feels premium, the QK 101 is hard to beat for the price.
