ACGAM V98PRO V2

The ACGAM V98 Pro V2 is a compact 96% mechanical keyboard designed for users who want versatile connectivity and a customizable typing experience. It suits those who value a quieter, softer keystroke with acoustic dampening and want the flexibility to switch between wired and wireless modes. Its full-key hot-swap support also appeals to hobbyists who frequently change switches without soldering.

Key Features

• Tri-mode connectivity with Bluetooth 5.0, 2.4GHz wireless, and USB-C wired options allows easy switching between multiple devices and use cases.
• Full-key hot-swappable design supports both 3-pin and 5-pin switches, enabling easy customization of typing feel and sound.
• Built-in 8000mAh battery provides extended use, with up to 40 days of operation without lighting and around 40 hours with RGB enabled.
• RGB lighting offers 16.8 million colors and 19 preset modes, customizable via dedicated software for macros and key remapping.

Build Quality and Typing Experience

• The gasket-mounted design uses multiple layers of acoustic dampening materials, resulting in softer, more elastic keystrokes and reduced typing noise.
• Factory-lubed custom POM linear switches deliver a smooth and consistent keypress, suitable for users preferring quieter, less tactile feedback.
• Durable double-shot PBT keycaps resist wear and oil, maintaining key legend clarity over time.
• The compact 98-key layout includes a numpad while saving desk space, balancing functionality and footprint.

Connectivity

• Wired USB-C mode offers stable, low-latency connection for gaming or professional use.
• Wireless options include Bluetooth 5.0 for compatibility with many devices and 2.4GHz for lower latency wireless performance.
• Easy switching between modes with a single key enhances multi-device workflows.

Trade-offs

• The keyboard’s linear switches may not suit users who prefer tactile or clicky feedback.
• At 1.1kg, it is moderately heavy, which may reduce portability compared to lighter compact keyboards.
• Software customization depends on proprietary drivers, which may limit cross-platform compatibility or require installation.
