SKY98 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard, 96% Gasket Hot Swappable Wired Custom Creamy Keyboard with 5-Layer Sound Dampening, RGB Backlit, NKRO for Win/Mac (Violet, Violet Switch)

I just used this for the first time to assist my son writing an article for a nomination entry. Worked smoothly and flawless. I love the sound the keys make and ease of finding the keys without looking. Sometimes the thinner keys on new keyboards catch my big fingers causing a lot of errors and taking time away from what ever project I am working on at the time. I think this is good for home and if you have a private office at work it would be fine. Cubicle working- the key stroke noise may bother some people. That is what I love about it the most. Pros- sound and smoothness Cons-it is wired and will not work without it plugged in. Sometimes I like to stand with a desktop keyboard riser, (sciatic issues) I don’t like the wires hanging. It’s ugly and my OCD wants to throat punch the maker. Lol. I need to find a keyboard with this quality, wireless and affordable. For now this is a great keyboard for someone who just wants simple happiness in their lives. I did see a lot of comments about taking it apart and putting different keys in basically rebuilding it… that wasn’t my goal. Okay well I said my piece, I hope this helps the people who just like the click sound and big keys for basic needs.

This was a great entry to the world of mechanical keyboards and a great value for the money. The keys seem to be comparable to reds and feels and sounds so nice. I got some extra keycaps to swap out and they swap easily. It feels sturdy and comes with a removable USB-C cord so if that every breaks I can easily replace it.

I love this keyboard. The RGB lighting is simple to activate and change, and the keys make a perfect combination of creamy and clicky sound. The feedback appears to be great as well, but I haven't tried out a shooting game with it just yet - I have used it for Monster Hunter World and it worked perfectly. The color of the keys is exactly what I was hoping for, and I love that the key remover tool and additional keys are provided if you want to customize the appearance of the keyboard. Because it is a slightly more compact keyboard, there was a little bit of getting used to the orientation of the right arrow key making the 0 key on the numpad smaller, but it was a quick adjustment. A fantastic feature of this keyboard is that it plugs in via USB-C, meaning that if there are any issues with the cord, it is easy to replace just that part, and not have to replace the entire keyboard, which I appreciate, especially with a toddler in the house and hopefully a cat or dog in the future.

6 MONTH UPDATE: The RGB never started working again. The 'S' key has never worked consistently since my last update but now it doesn't work the first try ever. Also the 'C' key is starting to bug out as well. It's pretty, it sounds great, but it doesn't type well. I saw another reviewer saying her 'S' key is going out as well. Coincidence? I have moved on and bought a different keyboard that I like much better. 2 MONTH EDIT: The RGB worked for about a week and now the slider switch does nothing. Thats super annoying. Also, about a month in the s key stopped working consistently. About 2/3rds of the time it didn't work, and when it did work it typed a double s. I just took out the switch to inspect it and clean it and it seems to be working again so I'll keep an eye on it but I took away a star. ORIGINAL: I do really love the keyboard. It's a heavy weight. The sound is "creamy" and isn't hollow at all. The switches are smooth. Its compact so the keys are a little smaller than a normal full size keyboard. I love the keyboard and I'm glad I bought it. That being said, I purchased the blue keyboard and it was shipped in a beat up box with purple version pictured. It was clear from the state of the stickers closing the box that it had been opened. Thankfully the keyboard was blue and was in great condition. The cable looked like it hadn't been used or even unwound before so hopefully that indicates its new and not used. The switch puller is clearly used, though. It was dirty and discolored like it fell out of the box and someone just threw it back in on top. I haven't inspected the switches yet, but the keyboard and lights work so I'll check on the switches later and update if there's issues.

I should have read the reviews first before confirming my purchase. The keyboard itself is really nice, I love the sound it makes when you type and the different rgb functions and the fact you can create your own custom rgb function. I do hate the fact that every now and then it automatically turns on cap locks though pretty irritating but minus that pretty nice.

I bought this keyboard bc I had my eye on one that went viral on tiktok. By the time I was ready to bite the bullet, the price had tripled. So I came to Amazon to find an alternative at a better price point. I'm IN LOVE with the creaminess of the keyboard sounds. However, the functionality is lacking. There is a slight delay in response and it sometimes capitalizes letters randomly. It will also throw in random tabs or spaces every now and then. I will say I am using it with an HP laptop so it could be a compatibility issue. Anyway, I really like the keyboard and will be keeping it to use at work.

AMAZING KEYBOARD! The sound of the keys is very nice and creamy. I love that there is an option for a colorful background AND you can change it to be a different pattern! The cord for the key board is a standard USB-C so that is nice because you can use other cords if needed.

LOVE this keyboard! The lighting options/combinations are really cool, and makes a fun “nightlight” when I’m not working. And the clickity-clack sounds the keys make are very satisfying if you like that sort of thing. If you prefer a quiet/silent keyboard, this is NOT the one for you… But I personally enjoy that sound. Coolest keyboard I’ve had!
