Since the keyboard has a frosted case, you can see through it, just a tad, offering that nostalgic view of the internal working parts of the tech. I think they went a little too opaque with the frost accent, though, because it hampers the RGBs, making them look dull. Either the case needed to be more transparent, or the lights underneath needed to be brighter. At the very least, the faint lighting is even, and it looks pretty enough when the RGBs are disabled. Though it's made from plastic, the keyboard has some heft to it, with minimal flexing on the outer edges. You get the neat feature of customising any key to perform specific macros or multimedia functions. Bluetooth. or 2.4GHz wireless with a dongle is probably the best case scenario. I like wireless keyboards, but I understand the design constraints of adding in a battery and the PCB requirement to allow for switching. This might increase the price, of course.

Glorious sent me a selection of switches, keycaps and cables, and I ended up with some pleasant teal and blue keycaps, a curly pink two-part cable and with soft, linear Kailh Box Red switches that work well for typing and gaming. The finished article tends to attract attention from house guests (I assume everyone takes keyboard questions when their significant other is having a party?) and it's so pleasant and unannoying to use that it's remained on my desk far longer than is strictly necessary for a review - always a good sign that I'm getting on well for a keyboard. The other keyboards on this list are fairly specialised and I wouldn't recommend them to absolutely everyone - especially given some come at a pretty steep price - but the GMMK 2 makes for an awesome introduction to mechanical keyboards at a very fair price. 5.

Yes, it's certainly not a good size or weight to be toted onto a train or into a café, but it feels good to use, looks great and key bindings and lighting can be programmed via an app or via QMK/VIA firmware updates.

Any item returned incomplete or with physical damage such as scratches etc., excessive signs of use or abuse will not be accepted for return. The possibilities are exciting, but it does take a period of sitting down and really wrapping your head around things before it starts to become useful. My favourite factoid is that you can use these keys to walk faster than the default walking speed in CS:GO, without making the footsteps of the default running pace. This is kind of game-breaking, letting you scarper away silently faster than you should, and I'm expecting to see these sorts of keyboards used by pro players any day now.

There is a slight degree of flex when bending it along its long axis, but that is normal. The plastic exterior keyboards all experience this degree of flex. The Hidden Badge Area The IF98 is a high-end gasket-mounted keyboard. It takes gasket material and silicone on both the top and bottom edges of the plate and PCBA. The top-grade gaskets and silicone of the gasket-mounted keyboards absorb the impact of every keypress, which creates a flexible, softer, and cleaner typing experience.

For its price, it’s effectively competing with most of the other mass-produced 96/100% keyboards. Those from Epomaker are probably in its direct window of comparison, whilst the default gaming keyboards from Razer, Corsair and Logitech are still way more expensive.

The badge area at the top left of the YUNZII Keynovo IF98 also adds some design flare to the keyboard itself. I think it’s a neat way to hide the optional key area. Build Quality I think this keyboard, with its plastic exterior, doesn’t feel cheap. You can see the edges that have been finished adequately and the excellent polish applied to the brass accent piece. In addition, the addition gaskets for sound dampening have also been a fantastic addition. The weight of the keyboard makes the keyboard feel sturdy and stable and is reflected similarly when playing games or doing work on this keyboard. I’ve used the keyboard for about a month and had no issues with the quality, and it’s durable even after dropping it accidentally once.

I do have some buyers remorse already and keep wondering if that is the right board for me. I was looking into good quality pre-built, hot-swappable keyboards with a 1800 layout (preferably wireless) that'll keep me satiated for a while before I experimenting with lube/switches/tape etc.
