Sound profile
FR4 with HMX Azure is positioned by current product descriptions as the crisper, brighter-leaning EVO80 option. Final acoustic character still depends on desk surface, keycaps, typing force and the specific unit.

Sound & feel
How this product sounds and feels to type on, described in plain terms.
Typing feel
The launch HMX Azure setup uses a 40 g trigger, 45 g bottom-out, 2.0 mm pre-travel and 3.5 mm total travel. The light linear switch and FR4 plate create a firmer, responsive direction within the EVO80 family.
Fit & build
Compatibility & build notes
What to check before ordering, and how the build is put together.
Compatibility
EVO80 supports Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS and Android and offers USB-C, 2.4 GHz and Bluetooth connectivity. Its hot-swap PCB accepts compatible MX-style switches; replacement keycap sets should cover the 88-key 80% + F13 layout.
Build notes
EVO80 uses a 1.2 mm hot-swap PCB for compatible MX-style switches, so switches can be changed without soldering. Its 88-key TKL/F13 layout also matters when replacing keycaps: choose a set that covers the required F13/TKL key sizes rather than assuming every generic 87-key TKL kit will fit. The current configuration uses an FR4 plate.

DESIGN & USE
A ready-to-use F13 TKL with upgrade paths
EVO80 is a prebuilt aluminum 80% F13 TKL that keeps the function row, navigation cluster, and arrows while omitting the numpad.
It arrives as a complete keyboard but retains practical enthusiast options through hot-swap switching and VIA key remapping.
- 80% + F13 keeps dedicated navigation and arrow keys without the width of a numpad.
- Hot-swap and VIA support preserve meaningful tuning options after the first setup.
Bottom line: A finished TKL for buyers who still want room to tune later.
WHAT MATTERS
Construction that reduces assembly work
The aluminum case, leaf-mount structure, hot-swap PCB, and internal acoustic layers matter because EVO80 combines a completed build with later customization options.
They do not guarantee one sound or typing feel; the buyer value is receiving an assembled TKL without sourcing a separate kit.
- CNC 6063 aluminum case uses a documented leaf-mount and butterfly-spring architecture.
- The 1.2 mm flex-cut hot-swap PCB supports compatible MX-style switch replacement without soldering.
- Two 4000mAh batteries provide the documented 8000mAh total rated battery capacity.
What it means: Prebuilt convenience with meaningful adjustment paths.
FIT & SETUP
Connections and replacement fit
EVO80 supports USB-C wired, 2.4 GHz wireless, and Bluetooth connections, plus compatible MX-style hot-swap switches.
Replacement keycaps must cover the 88-key F13 TKL layout; do not assume a generic 87-key set includes the needed keys.
- Wired and 2.4 GHz modes are currently specified at 1000 Hz polling.
- Bluetooth provides a convenient secondary connection path for compatible work and mobile devices.
- The 357 × 136.4 mm footprint saves horizontal space compared with a full-size keyboard.
Build note: Check F13 keycap coverage and choose the connection mode for the desk.
WHO IT SUITS
For a fixed, flexible TKL desk
Choose EVO80 when you want a substantial prebuilt TKL with tri-mode connectivity, hot-swap flexibility, and VIA support.
Choose a smaller board for travel or more mouse space, or a full-size board when a numpad is essential.
- Current enabled colors are Sand Gold, Tyrian and Butter Yellow from the confirmed offering.
Decision note: A prebuilt TKL for a fixed desk, not a travel keyboard.

Product-specific FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers to the questions that most often decide a purchase.
Yes. Current TickType pages use the TickType EVO80 name, while specialist retailers and earlier product documentation also use Evoworks EVO80. The two names refer to the same EVO80 product family.
The launch configuration uses the FR4 plate with HMX Azure linear switches. The broader EVO80 family also includes a PP plate with KeyGeek Oat switches, but that combination is not offered on this page.
Yes. Current specialist documentation lists a 1.2 mm hot-swappable PCB, and the HMX Azure launch switches are documented as 5-pin MX-compatible. Compatible MX-style switches can be replaced without soldering, although unusual switch designs should still be checked for physical clearance and orientation.
Current EVO80 specialist documentation states QMK/VIA support, and TickType's domestic product material also promotes QMK/VIA web-based configuration. Both QMK and VIA are supported, and VIA adds browser-based configuration.
EVO80 is tri-mode: USB-C wired, 2.4 GHz wireless and Bluetooth. TickType's current official specifications list 1000 Hz polling for wired and 2.4 GHz and 125 Hz for Bluetooth. Real-world wireless performance can still vary with the host device and radio environment.
The keyboard measures 357 × 136.4 mm with an 18 mm front height and weighs about 1870 g according to the current official specification. That figure is the product weight, not the packed international shipping weight used for KeebPilot's heavy-keyboard shipping calculation.
Original official EVO80 documentation lists the pre-assembled keyboard, carrying case and an accessory box with items such as spare switches, USB-C cable, 2.4 GHz dongle and a keycap/switch puller. Marketplace bundles can change between production batches, so confirm the included items for your order before checkout.
No. The $59 threshold applies to eligible small items such as Switches and Keycaps under the active shipping policy. EVO80 is a complete heavy keyboard and uses the keyboard-heavy shipping class, so destination-specific keyboard shipping is calculated separately before payment.
