Butterfly Leaf Spring Structure

The leaf spring mounting system is one of the proudest structural innovations of our original brand, Owlab. Compared to the commonly used gasket mount, it provides softer support and a bouncier typing feedback. However, due to cost constraints, the leaf spring structure is typically only utilized on high-end mechanical keyboards.

We altered the existing leaf spring structure by shifting the fulcrum from one end to the middle, creating the brand-new butterfly leaf spring structure for the Evo80. Combined with our specially designed gasket, this new mounting structure provides more balanced and stable support for the plate, making the typing feedback across the keyboard more consistent. The gasket also acts as a cushion between the plate and the leaf spring, eliminating most potential hollow sounds. Additionally, we added a silicone dampener between the leaf spring and the bottom case to solve resonance issues.

In daily use, the butterfly leaf spring structure provides soft yet solid support for each key press. Making your fingers less likely to fatigue even after a long time of typing.

Effortless Disassembly + Magnetic Connectors

We’ve retained the highly praised ball-catch mechanism and magnetic connectors from the Neo Studio. You can easily open the case with a press and lift, no tools required. Although the Evo80 is ready to use right out of the box, this easy disassembly structure allows you to modify the internals anytime.

Acoustic Performance

While some may claim that all keyboards sound similar with foam, we hold a different view. The acoustic package for the Evo80 is meticulously custom-designed to align with its specific case structure and internal components. Through enhancements in materials and cutout design, it ensures that the Evo80 brings forth the precise sound profile we have envisioned for you.

Rear Design

Though the rear side of the keyboard is often overlooked during everyday use, we did not neglect it in our design process. We added a decorative groove that starts at the USB port and gradually becomes shallower towards both ends, subtly enhancing the recognisability of the Evo80.

Anodized & Spray coating

The anodized cases of the Evo80 undergo a superior 220-mesh sandblasting process before anodization, and our spray-coated cases are colored with ultra-fine spray coating powders. Whichever color you choose, you'll enjoy the same smooth and vivid finish.

Option 1: Azure Linear Switches + FR4 Plate

The Azure Switch has a crisp and refreshing sound. Paired with an FR4 plate, it provides a clacky and satisfying sound profile.

Option 2: Oat Linear Switches + PP Plate

If you’re looking for a thocky marbly keyboard, opt for the Oat Switches. Paired with the PP plate, they deliver a more rounded and creamy typing sound.

Keycaps

We chose Dye-Sub PBT keycaps to improve the characteristics of the switches and release the powerful sound of the internals, and also developed new molds to address previous internal housing issues, giving the Evo80 a more excellent sound performance and typing experience. The keycaps feature the Cherry profile, ensuring a familiar and comfortable typing experience right out of the box.
