Know before you buy
The gasket structure uses a 3.5mm silicone dampener to provide a softer, more cushioned typing experience. This design reduces vibrations and creates a more consistent, muted sound profile compared to traditional tray-mount keyboards.
Yes, the A98 features a hot-swappable PCB. You can easily pull out the pre-installed DAREU Blue Sky switches and replace them with most standard 3-pin or 5-pin mechanical switches without needing any soldering tools.
The 4000mAh battery is rated for up to 168 hours of use. Keep in mind that this estimate is based on usage without RGB backlighting; enabling the vibrant lighting effects will significantly reduce the time between charges.
Yes, the keyboard is compatible with Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS. You can easily switch between devices using the tri-mode connectivity options, including Bluetooth and the 2.4GHz wireless receiver.
The 98% layout provides a compact footprint that saves desk space while still retaining a dedicated number pad and arrow keys. It is an ideal middle ground for users who need full functionality for data entry but want more room for mouse movement.
Yes, PBT keycaps are highly resistant to wear and shine, meaning they will maintain their texture and appearance much longer than standard ABS plastic keycaps. They provide a premium, slightly textured feel that is excellent for both gaming and typing.
