Qwertykeys just dropped pre-orders for the QK65 MK3 mechanical keyboard after teasing it for weeks with retro gaming vibes and a little customizable screen. The barebones kit starts at $199 and gets you the case, PCB with display hardware, your choice of plate, and stabilizers. If you grab a $14 keycap set, they throw in 70 Rye switches for free, which is honestly a solid deal since caps and switches usually run way more elsewhere.
This 65% board comes in five throwback colors and lets you pick between aluminum, polypropylene, or FR4 plates for different sound profiles. The display can run custom animations, show time with a typing-reactive cat or dog, or even play a mini-game called Animal Supermarket. Two low-profile knobs handle OS and connectivity switching, while dual 3,100 mAh batteries power both Bluetooth and 2.4 GHz wireless modes. The whole thing runs on a custom VIA fork for remapping keys, macros, and per-key RGB tweaking.
