What will you mostly use it for?
The IF99 has the edge for work, programming, modding and display-focused setups, mainly because it combines QMK/VIA with an LCD. Travel favors the lighter F98, although its compact full-size layout has reduced spacing between sections. Gaming is a close match on the listed core features, including polling rate, connectivity and N-Key Rollover. Both support hot-swapping, but only the IF99 lists QMK/VIA support.

- Both list linear switches, N-Key Rollover, RGB and a 1000 Hz polling rate.
- Both support Bluetooth, 2.4 GHz wireless and wired USB-C connectivity.
