YUNZII X98 keyboard offers clear style and powerful features
YUNZII has revealed its new X98 Transparent Mechanical Keyboard, a stylish and feature-rich keyboard made for those who love custom setups. The YUNZII X98 keyboard comes in a 96% layout and brings together smart design, modern features, and full customisation. Whether you’re gaming, working, or creating, this keyboard is built to keep up.
What makes the YUNZII X98 keyboard special is its clear body and keycaps. Made from high-quality transparent PC material, it looks clean and modern. The shine-through keycaps feature 3D-printed legends that don’t fade over time. With south-facing RGB lights and over 16 million colours, the keyboard lights up your desk beautifully.

This keyboard is not just about looks. It supports QMK and VIA, which means you can remap every key, set up macros, change layers, and control lighting. There’s also a programmable knob, set to volume by default, that adds extra control for music, videos, or work.
The YUNZII X98 keyboard has three ways to connect—Bluetooth 5.3, 2.4GHz wireless, and USB-C wired. You can pair up to five devices and switch between them easily. It works with all kinds of devices like laptops, desktops, MacBooks, and tablets.
Typing on the X98 feels great thanks to its gasket-mounted build and five layers of sound-dampening materials, including Poron, IXPE, and silicone. This gives you soft, quiet keystrokes with a smooth feel. The keyboard comes with pre-lubed Snow Linear Switches, known for their quiet and fluid typing. And if you want to change switches, it’s hot-swappable with both 3-pin and 5-pin support.
Battery life is also strong. The YUNZII X98 keyboard comes with a large 8000mAh battery, giving you hours of wireless use without needing to charge often. It’s compact but solid, measuring 390.5 x 141.7 x 44.8 mm and weighing about 1270g. Dual-stage silicone feet make it more comfortable to use, while the shiny metallic backplate adds a premium touch.
In short, the YUNZII X98 keyboard blends a modern look with strong features. With RGB lighting, tri-mode wireless, full QMK/VIA support, and smooth typing, it’s made for users who want control, comfort, and a clean design all in one.
