ATTACK SHARK K98 96% Wireless Mechanical Keyboard Triple Mode BT5.0/2.4G/USB-C 100-Key with Number Pad Hot-Swappable RGB, with Coiled Cable,Wrist Rest for MAC,Windows,Android(Gary & Yellow Switch)

I'm on the fence about this keyboard. I like the retro looks of it. I like the features it has. I like the size of it. What I don't like about it is... I wish it felt more solid, I wish the RGB lighting was more customizable, and I feel like it is overpriced.The keyboard has a nice weight to it. However, it has a plastic body that makes it seem cheap-ish. I wish it had a metal body and it felt more solid.I like the 96% layout of the keyboard a lot. It has a smaller footprint than a traditional 100+ key keyboard and it has all the keys I am accustomed to for writing documents and working on spreadsheets. It also has hot swappable keys that can be replaced.The keyboard connects via a fancy coiled USB cable, wireless, or Bluetooth. There is a switch on the left side of the keyboard to choose the connection type. When not in use, the wireless adapter can be stored in a hole on the right side of the keyboard.At the time of me writing this review, the keyboard was listed for $85. It is an ok keyboard, but it is overpriced.

Having grown up using the original mechanical keyboards of the 80's, I am happy to have discovered this one from Attack Shark. It has nearly all of the keys, offers various connectivity modes, and most importantly, it feels so nice to type on!The keyboard comes with everything needed for wireless or wired use. It supports Bluetooth connectivity, a proprietary 2.4GHz dongle (hidden in a storage area on the side of the keyboard when not in use) and USB-C connectivity for either charging the large 3000mAh battery or wired use. This means you can use the keyboard wirelessly with tablets as well as laptops or desktops. The keyboard kit comes with premium USB-C cables that attach together via a gold-plated connector, a key cap remover, the USB wireless dongle and the instructions. The instructions are important in order to configure the colorful LEDs for various backlight patterns. I just configured it for lighting up the ASDF and arrow keys. The USB cables look amazing, are very thick and feel very high-end. As much as I do not like wire clutter, I use the keyboard with the USB-C cable anyway so I have not tried the wireless options.The keyboard keys are so satisfying and nice to type on. This is the highlight of the keyboard. The key presses have that smooth, clickity sound you expect from a mechanical keyboard but they offer just the right amount of resistance without being too punishing if you accidently brush up against a nearby key. It has every key that I need, including the number pad on the right. However I have not seen shortcut keys for volume, screen brightness etc. I especially like that, despite having 100 keys, the keyboard is fairly compact in design. There is only a thin border around the edges with minimal empty space. The keyboard is made of very dense, thick plastic. It has a nice weight to it.Comparing the typing experience to a standard laptop keyboard, or cordless keyboard with low profile keys, I easily type faster and smoother on this mechanical keyboard from Attack Shark. I love it and very highly recommend it, especially if for those that have never experienced the amazing typing experience of a mechanical keyboard.

After using this keyboard, I've got comments. Lots to like, especially as an entry level mechanical keyboard that can be upgraded and improved over time. This is from an amateur, so I am only comparing to other mainstream keyboards from major big box brands. Here are some ideas:Pro - Storable USB wireless donglePro - BT works effectivelyPro - Red mechanical switches feel greatPro - Keycaps are pretty decent, text is uniformly printedPro - Hefty, solidly madePro - Included cable is good quality, braided and prettyPro - comes with keycap pullerCon - The pastel beige is not a great colour. The beige keycaps don't help.Con - Unknown red switchesCon - Top LED switchesCon - No passthrough caps, RGB is not bright due to the solid capsCon - no wristrestCon - No hotkeys, volume dialOverall, these red switches are as expected but they aren't labelled or branded, but I found it louder then my blues mechanical switches obviously. I will definitely look for translucent keycaps in the future.

I haven't had a mechanical keyboard for a very long time ! I'm mostly always typing on a laptop keyboard (I even got myself those thin laptop USB keyboard).The keyboard itself seem to be working fine with the included USB dongle.I just tried another keyboard which felt exactly like my normal keyboard, but this one some of the key are place differently.I don't know if the Fn key can be reprogrammed, but I really wish it had more useful key available, like controlling going to the next song, you can start and stop only, and control volume. They key itself are not identified, so you need to use the manual that came with it. I really think the keyboard should have a tray to put the manual inside, or a label in different language that can be put on a pull out tab. But it doesn't have any of it.There is an integrated storage for the USB dongle. But it have no Off switch. It light up as I press a key out of the box.I like the mechanical keyboard feel. It feel super clean and good to press on the key. Space key remain really flat when pressed even on the corner. I'm not mechanical keyboard expert, but it does give the experience while still feeling good to use.I tried the different light show effect, and it not that bad, but it not that great neither. It hard to find the effect you really want. I tried a few time to find an effect they light up the key I press but it didn't work, until now I just found one. But you have a few to play with and switch between. Some of the effect does do a really nice color show.The USB-C cord is really a bling effect... I guess the whole keyboard is more an art statement than being 100% functionality. And that is fine.It will work via USB cable alone, but also with the included USB dongle, and it show a bluetooth option, but I haven't tested that.It come with a cloud palm rest that have an interesting texture, and with the height of the keyboard, it kinda required. I'm personally too used to have a keyboard much lower, and I do feel it in my wrists already, even with the cloud arm rest, but I'll probably get used to it !So I would recommend this keyboard if the look really match the aesthetic of your project. And as a bonus, it does work just fine. It might just not be the most functional keyboard out there.

I really like these keboards and am so glad I got this.The BT is great and solid with the included dongle.Cable included is seriously heavy duty with an almost industrial look and feel.Keycap tool is included as well and if you need to swap out key caps or switches there's full instructions included.Solid feel, excellent key movement and a solid and heavy durty construction make this an excellent addition to any system.Very highly recommended.

I like the colour pallet of this keyboard, but I wish the keycaps were PBT instead of ABS, as I like the feel much better. The red linear switches on the keyboard are smooth and feel good for both typing and gaming. It has your standard RGB settings that you can change through keyboard shortcuts. I think there are more options available through a software app, but I prefer solid colour backlighting myself, so I didn't dive into it.The stabilizers sound pretty good, and the space bar has foam between the stabilizers to reduce the hollow sound when pressing it. This keyboard is also hot swappable, which means instead of just being able to switch out the keycaps, you can also easily swap out the switches if you have something you prefer the sound/feeling of over the red linear switches included. I found the included keycap/switch puller to be a little stiff, so I just used my own instead.The current price of $75.99cdn(with coupon) is very nice for a nearly full size keyboard that's hot swappable. Very easy to recommend.
