What will you mostly use it for?
The RT100 Pro gets the edge for office work, programming, travel, modding, and content creation, largely because of its screen, knob, lower listed weight, and polycarbonate plate. Gaming is a close match: both share the key listed gaming features, and the vendor latency figures alone do not settle the choice. The TH99 remains a straightforward alternative if the display and extra controls are not priorities. Both offer a similar 96% layout and connection options.
It's a tie
- Both list 1000 Hz polling and N-Key Rollover.
- Both offer wired and 2.4 GHz connectivity, plus hot-swappable switches.
- The RT100 Pro vendor page specifies 4 ms wired latency, while the TH99 page specifies 2 ms, but these vendor figures do not establish a clear overall advantage.

“I love my new keyboard. It is as quiet as advertised and I’m very pleased with the overall performance of the keyboard!”
“I have no way through the software to keep the keyboard on for more than a minute. And randomly throughout typing or gaming the keys become unresponsive. Id expect that out of a 20$ keyboard. But this was a 100$ purchase, very dissapointing”
