Why choose QwertyKey keyboards?
Our keyboards try to offer you the most pleasant experience straight out of the box, without making many changes at home to it. Most of our keyboards come with a layer of foam in the keyboard case to eliminate the echo inside the case. At the same time, most of the stabilizers are pre-lubricated to give keys such as space, shift, enter, backspace a smoother and more pleasant sound and press.
