What will you mostly use it for?
The Neo65 has the clearer edge for wireless flexibility and ISO users, while the JRIS65 R2 favors buyers who want firmware and build-tuning options. For programming and hands-on customization, the JRIS65 R2's QMK support and range of plates are useful differentiators. Both remain viable for content creation, with overlapping hot-swap, VIA, and plate options. Neither kit includes per-key RGB according to the listings.
Pick the Qwertykeys Neo65
- The Neo65 lists a 1000 Hz polling rate.
- Its tri-mode PCB supports wired USB-C, Bluetooth, and 2.4 GHz wireless.

Yes, the vendor lists QMK and VIA support for the JRIS65 R2's wired PCBs. QMK and VIA are not supported on its Bluetooth PCB.
The Neo65 listing specifies VIA compatibility, but does not list QMK support. Buyers specifically seeking QMK should consider the JRIS65 R2 wired PCB option.
No, the JRIS65 R2 is ANSI only. Its compatibility rules exclude ISO-DE, UK, and other ISO variants.
Yes, the Neo65 listing says its PCB supports ANSI and ISO. This makes it the supported option between these two for an ISO build.
The Neo65 supports 2.4 GHz wireless through its tri-mode PCB, alongside Bluetooth and wired USB-C. The JRIS65 R2 lists Bluetooth and wired options, but not 2.4 GHz.
The Neo65 metadata lists a 1000 Hz polling rate. No polling rate is listed for the JRIS65 R2.
Both kits have hot-swap PCB options. The JRIS65 R2 vendor description also lists a solder PCB option, and the Neo65 listing describes both solder and hot-swap PCBs.
The JRIS65 R2 lists polycarbonate, FR4, aluminum, and POM plates. Its vendor description also says a plateless build is possible.
The Neo65 vendor listing names carbon fiber, aluminum, polycarbonate, and PP plates. It describes carbon fiber as the firmest option and PP as the softest.
Both product listings specify no RGB. The Neo65 vendor description further says its PCB has no per-key RGB.
The Neo65 tri-mode hot-swap PCB listing includes two internal 2200mAh batteries and a 2.4 GHz dongle. This detail applies to that PCB configuration.
The JRIS65 R2 vendor description explicitly says keycaps and switches are not included. The Neo65 listing describes the kit contents but does not specify keycaps or switches, so confirm the selected kit's contents with the seller.
