Best For
Keyboard enthusiasts who love swapping switches and customizing lighting, hybrid workers needing Windows/Mac multi‑device support, gamers and typists seeking a quiet, responsive gasket‑mounted board, minimalist desk setups that benefit from a 96% layout, and content creators who can showcase custom GIFs or system stats on the TFT screen during streams.
Not Ideal For
Users who prioritize an all‑metal chassis, need full QMK/VIA programmability, require a ultra‑lightweight portable keyboard, or prefer a layout identical to a full‑size board without a learning curve.
Expert Opinion
Professional reviewers regard the AJazz AK980 as a standout in the sub‑$100 mechanical keyboard segment, lauding its dense feature set, premium gasket‑mount construction, and the inclusion of a TFT screen that provides genuine utility. While the build quality is solid, the ABS case and lack of open‑source firmware support keep the overall build score moderate, and early firmware bugs have been noted.
What Users Say
Everyday users overwhelmingly appreciate the keyboard’s screen, hot‑swap capability, quiet typing experience, and seamless cross‑platform switching, describing it as a "value king" for enthusiasts. Recurring complaints focus on the ABS case flex, occasional screen stutter, and the absence of dedicated customization software or a programmable knob.
Common Complaints
ABS case flex, early firmware screen glitches or animation lag, lack of dedicated customization software, knob not programmable without hacks, and the learning curve of the 96% layout.

vs. AULA F108 Pro
Advantages
Disadvantages
Select the AK980 when you want a screen, knob, and hot‑swap flexibility; opt for the F108 Pro if you prioritize a lighter, all‑metal build without those extras.
