PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

96% Hotswap Keyboard with a Knob

As a 1800-compact keyboard, Qeekestudio CR960 is able to include the function and arrow keys as well as a numpad that are necessary and convenient for those who need them. The keyboard is equipped with hot swappable terminals, with which you can easily install 3/5 pin switches directly without soldering. Assembled with customized shine-through switches, every keystroke assures consistency and brightness with backlights to improve the typing experience.

Triple Modes: Bluetooth 5.0/2.4GHz Wireless/Wired

More than being wireless, we make this keyboard in triple modes, that is to say, the efficient Bluetooth 5.0 technology and ultra-fast and stable 2.4GHz wireless, plus Type-C wired mode. They can be easily changed and selected by the specific key combinations. Triple modes can accommodate a variety occasions, such as on trips, at office and at home... no more bulky accessories and no worries of terrible transmission.

Extra-large Capacity Battery & Grooving RGB Backlights

Qeekestudio CR960 is equipped with a 5000mAh battery for ultra long-lasting performance. No more worries of battery shortage while on trip. The 16.8 million RGB lights are also available for more customization. With the bottom side light strip, the music rhythm mode adds more fun to light up your desktop.

Shine-through PC Case & EVA Sound Absorption Foam

To light up the desktop in dark environment, Qeekestudio adopts PC upper & bottom cases to assemble the keyboard, so that the RGB lights can be shine-through. As to the acoustic aspect, the studio has also made an effort to enhance the sound by putting an EVA foam between the plate and the PCB. This layer can buff keystrokes and the bottom foam can absorb hallow noises. All is to provide a remarkable typing sound and a premium sense.

Rotary Knob & Cherry Profile PBT Keycaps

Media control is getting more and more essential in daily use and a rotary knob is there for an easy access to this function. As to the keycaps, we chose to go with a top-grade PBT keycaps. PBT keycaps are often considered the top choice for keycaps materials, even over ABS keycaps, as PBT is much more durable, oil-resistant (won’t get shiny over time like ABS), and stays true to color longer. With the popular Cherry profile, this keyboard can work as the most basic and ergonomic one.

    Pretty good budget board

    I got this because I wanted a programmable keyboard with a volume knob. I wanted to program some key shortcuts for my drawing software primarily.
    The default switches are fine, I got the Gateron browns which are about 50g force. I like to put no effort into typing so I switched for really light 37g switches and that's working out fantastically.
    The driver software was missing from the website when I purchased this, but after contacting Epomaker, they republished it fairly quickly. Its about average in terms of UI/UX. It works fine but says it needs to be updated and all attempts to update fail. Qeeke, who makes the driver for it, seems to have no current English language presence so I'm not sure if there's an updated version of the software out there. It's not on their GitHub or their company website. I didn't check every version in the Wayback Machine, but the couple I did check also didn't have it. If you have Chinese language skills, maybe you can solve the mystery? I have reached the limit of information available in English/Spanish and the limit of effort I care to put out given the software works with minimal errors.

    Also the volume knob itself is the only non programmable key (besides the function key, which is understandable). I got around this using Auto Hot Key so that volume knob controls the brush size in my drawing programs, so all is well, if you have the same issue.
    There are also a few RGB light patterns that only work while connected by cable with the launcher running, mostly music visualization ones and two static light options. I don't this is a major flaw, just a quirk I wanted to mention it since it's not explained in the user manual.

    Tldr: Over all good for the price point, sturdy, customization software might be an issue in a few years since support is a mystery. For standard typing, looks great, runs fine, I have swapped switches several times with no issues.
