## Description

MageGee SKY98 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard, 96% Joint-Mounted Custom Wired Keyboard Hot-Swappable with Five Layer Sound Dampening, RGB Backlit, NKRO for Win/Mac (Violet, Violet Switch)

Review: It’s a good keyboard only annoying thing is one of the keys aren’t correct when I type out. So the “@“ key is actually the ‘ key. Other than that pretty good.
Review: 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.

## Features

- [Joint Mount Structure] Unlike the traditional screw fixed structure, the SKY98 creamy keyboard positioning plate is fixed in the middle by the pressure of the upper and lower housings. There are joints distributed around the positioning plate to prevent direct contact between the inside and the housings, acting as a damping layer and effectively reducing the vibration and noise generated when typing. This keyboard feels smooth and even, elastic and has a pure sound.
- 【5-Layer Sound Absorbing Filling】To improve the noise situation, this board keyboard is equipped with an IXPE foam pad, PORON foam, diaphragm, EVA soundproof foam and silicone absorption pad in the gaps between the positioning board, PCB board and bottom. This reduces the resonance space inside the keyboard, thereby suppressing hollow sounds and making each key comfortable and enjoyable. For gamers and office users, this keyboard is a great addition to the desktop computer.
- Hot Plug & Pre-Lubricated Custom Switches - This 96% mechanical keyboard is compatible with 3 or 5-pin switches, allowing you to customize your keyboard. The switches are individually detachable and can be replaced in seconds. The SKY98 keyboard uses MageGee's finely tuned switches, which are pre-lubricated at the factory and built to last up to 70 million keystrokes for responsive, creamy typing.
- Awesome RGB Backlight This custom keyboard has 6 sets of default gaming backlight effects (FN + 1~FN + 6), and 18 built-in backlight modes, as well as adjustable brightness and light speed. Bright static and dynamic lights glow in the dark, illuminating your computer and enhancing the gaming experience. The switch on the left side of the keyboard turns the light off or on with one click. This 96% keyboard supports custom light effects and you can record by pressing FN + Back.
- 96% DESIGN & ROLLOVER: With 99 keys, this hot-swappable mechanical keyboard retains a separate numeric keypad and all necessary functions, while reducing its size to save more computer space. 100% anti-ghosting, every keystroke is detected correctly even if you press many keys on the dashboard at the same time. Instead of the usual solid color key layout, the keyboard uses a color scheme that mixes three colors for a more vibrant and eye-catching look.
- Wired Connection & Support to Win/MAC - SKY98 mechanical gaming keyboard connects via a detachable USB Type-C cable which is stable and fast. Plug and play, easy to replace the cable. It works on both Mac and Windows systems, so there is no need to worry about adaptation issues. Press FN + Home to switch between the two systems to help you work more efficiently.
