Mikiby AK980 Black
Score: 91/100Rankings
Microsoft's All-in-One Media Keyboard combines a full-size wireless layout with an integrated multi-touch trackpad, offering solid Windows-only functionality, spill-resistance and long battery life, but it lacks backlighting, a numeric keypad, and cross-platform support.
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.
