The Tech Version and the RM Version both apply the same method, making it the most efficient and precise way to level keys. The Tech Version is supplied with rail clamps that are less expensive than what is supplied with the RM Version. The Tech Version clamps take a little more time to set up and aren't as heavy duty. The Tech Version is also supplied with a digital indicator measuring tool that doesn't allow for automatic data entry. This makes the QuicKey Leveler more affordable. Since all parts are interchangable; upgrading to the RM clamps and indicator can be done at any time in the future.

The QuicKey Leveler doesn’t actually level the keys; keys are leveled by removing or adding paper punchings under the keys at the balance rail and the front rail. What makes the QuicKey Leveler, key leveling tool, unique is that it tells the technician exactly how the punchings need to be adjusted under the keys. The QuicKey Leveler Software Program applies a sophisticated mathematical model to the data received from the QuicKey Leveler apparatus to determine how best to level the keys (adjust the punchings)with a minimum amount of work or disruption to the piano’s action.

The patent pending method of the QuicKey Leveler system is based on a holistic approach to the leveling process. That is, rather than looking at just one key at a time all of the keys are looked at as a whole. The QuicKey Leveler method measures the exact position of each key and analyzes that position as it relates to each of the other keys. Comparing all the key positions to how the technician wants the keys to line up saves time; not only when leveling but also by reducing the likelihood that the keys will be over adjusted. Over adjusting the key's punchings will likely lead to further adjustment to the key action and creates unnecessary work. Reports tell the technician exactly how the punchings under each key needs to be adjusted, so all of the keys may be removed at once to allow access to the punchings.

No, the patent pending design includes a counter balance system that allows the technician to measure the key in the rest position without depressing the key. The technician depresses each key to get the dip reading. The QuicKey Leveler is unique in that no dis-assembly of the piano is required to analyse how "out-of-level" the keys are.
