Gateron iG 98

The 98% layout is a clever compromise that keeps the full numeric keypad while shrinking the overall footprint by removing unnecessary gaps between keys. You get the functionality of a full-sized keyboard but save a few inches of desk space, making it easier to position your mouse closer to the center.

Yes, the Gateron iG 98 is fully compatible with Windows, Mac, and Linux. You can seamlessly switch between up to five different devices using the tri-mode connectivity options.

Hot-swappable sockets mean you can pull out the mechanical switches and plug in new ones without needing to solder anything. It is a beginner-friendly way to change how your keyboard feels or sounds without buying a completely new board.

The integrated knob is clickable and acts as a dedicated volume control. You can rotate it to adjust your system volume up or down, and press it down to instantly mute or unmute your audio.

With a 4000 mAh battery, you can expect significant longevity, though the exact duration depends on your RGB lighting settings and connection method. For most users, it will last several weeks of standard office use before needing a recharge via USB-C.

The 6-degree angle is fixed, meaning you cannot adjust the tilt of the keyboard. This angle was chosen to provide a comfortable, ergonomic wrist position for most users, but it is a static design.
