Mikiby AK980 Black
Score: 91/100Rankings
The MIKIBY AJAZZ AK980 blends a premium mechanical feel with wireless versatility, offering hot-swap linear switches, a TFT display, and extensive RGB lighting. While battery specs are a bit unclear and there is no warranty, its feature set makes it a strong contender for creators and gamers seeking a wireless 98% keyboard.
The Ducky One 3 White 60% is a premium, gasket-mounted, hot-swap keyboard with high-density PBT keycaps, per-key RGB and a solid 1000 Hz polling rate. It delivers a thocky typing experience but commands a high price and lacks wireless capability.

Professional reviewers hail the One 3 series as a benchmark for pre-built mechanical keyboards, praising its QUACK Mechanics dampening, V2 stabilizers and solid construction while noting the premium price and lack of wireless as drawbacks.
Everyday users love the One 3 for its premium feel, deep thocky sound and the ability to swap switches without soldering, but complain about the high price, absence of wireless and occasional uneven keycap legends.
Professional reviewers note that the AK980 packs a premium feature set-gasket mounting, PBT keycaps, hot-swappable switches, and an integrated TFT screen-into a mid-range price point, positioning it as a strong contender in the wireless mechanical keyboard market despite the lack of native QMK/VIA support.
Everyday users overwhelmingly appreciate the smooth typing feel, the novelty and usefulness of the TFT display and knob, and the impressive battery endurance, while recurring complaints focus on unclear battery specifications, occasional screen brightness issues, and the absence of thorough documentation.
“Feels like a $200 custom build out of the box.”
“The sound is thocky and deep-no plastic ping.”
“PBT keycaps don't shine, even after months of use.”
