Product details
KZZI K98
A retro 98-key mechanical keyboard and the frontrunner to apply thicken wall injection molding process to the keyboard case. Combined with leaf-spring gasket structure and 5 layers of sound-absorbing material, aluminum scroll wheel design, and more, KZZI ensures the K98 deserves the first attempt for full aluminum custom mechanical keyboard lovers.
Key Highlights
🏗️ Revolutionary Thicken Case Injection Molding
🔌 Tri-Mode: Wired / 2.4G / Bluetooth
🔋 6300mAh Battery (600 Hours)
🎨 South-Facing Per-Key RGB (16 Effects)
🔥 Hot-Swappable Switches
🛠️ Leaf-Spring Gasket Structure
Revolutionary Thicken Case Technology
The K98 is a pioneer in bringing thicken wall injection molding process to the keyboard industry. When comparing a regular ABS keyboard with a KZZI thicken case keyboard, the former distorts easily by hand while the K98 remains solid and rigid. This mature technology from other industries presented many challenges when applied to keyboards, but KZZI successfully engineered it for exceptional build quality.
Construction: Thicken case injection molding process
Material: High-grade ABS with reinforced walls
Weight: 1160g (substantial premium feel)
Rigidity: Distortion-resistant for long-term durability
Advanced Gasket & Leaf-Spring Structure
Despite the thicker case reducing internal filling space, the K98 still incorporates 5 layers of sound-absorbing material to deliver a solid typing sound and feel. The innovative leaf-spring design provides more deformation space, enhances typing consistency, minimizes resonance, and reduces switch noise. Users seeking a softer typing experience can easily remove the 3.5mm cotton layer. The easy-assemble design allows for effortless customization to achieve your ideal typing feel.
