Today we unbox, build, and sound test the QK80 custom keyboard by Qwertykeys. This board follows the great success of the QK75, 60, and 65 keyboards, which all incrementally increased quality in terms of sound and design. What new does their TKL bring to the table, and is it something you should consider picking up?
