Compare Yunzii MIKIBY K98 vs B98 PRO Differences Side by Side

The B98 PRO adds QMK/VIA firmware, an OLED and LED screen, an aluminum plate and an 8000mAh battery. The MIKIBY K98 uses Yunzii's own software and a 4000mAh battery in a slightly larger 98% frame. Both share gasket mounts, hot-swap sockets, PBT keycaps and tri-mode connectivity.

No. QMK and VIA support is listed for the B98 PRO, which lets you remap keys, record macros and build multiple layers. The MIKIBY K98 lists Windows software and Win/Mac online website customization instead, so its remapping runs through Yunzii's tools.

Yunzii lists a 4000mAh battery for the MIKIBY K98 and an 8000mAh battery for the B98 PRO. The B98 PRO therefore carries twice the listed capacity, though runtime depends on backlight and connection use. Both charge over USB-C.

Yes, both are full-key hot-swappable and accept 3-pin or 5-pin mechanical switches, so no soldering is needed to change switches. Both ship pre-built with pre-lubed linear switch options such as the Yunzii Milk V2. The B98 PRO also lists pre-lubed stabilizers.

The B98 PRO lists a 1000 Hz polling rate, which the MIKIBY K98 does not publish, making it the more explicit choice for gaming. Both offer N-key rollover and pre-lubed linear switches. QMK/VIA on the B98 PRO also allows game-specific macros and layers.

Yes, the B98 PRO lists an OLED screen plus LED indicators, and its metallic cat logo includes an LED battery-level display. The MIKIBY K98 has no screen, so status checks rely on lighting and key combinations. The screen is one of the clearer visual differences between the two.

The MIKIBY K98 is the more portable of the two, at 1144g and 385 x 146 x 48 mm against 1188g and 414 x 142 x 49 mm for the B98 PRO. The difference is modest, so neither is a compact travel board. Both offer Bluetooth and 2.4 GHz wireless for cable-free use.

The MIKIBY K98 is listed as ANSI only, described by Yunzii as a 96% layout with 97 keys and a knob. The B98 PRO lists ANSI, ISO, ISO-DE and ISO-FR options across a 100-key plus knob layout. Buyers needing German or French ISO layouts should look at the B98 PRO.

Both use a gasket mount with sound dampening, but the B98 PRO specifies a five-layer filling structure along with pre-lubed switches and stabilizers. The MIKIBY K98 describes a gasket buffer that reduces noise but does not list filling layers. Sound preference is subjective, so treat the B98 PRO's layered construction as the more detailed spec.

Both use double-shot PBT Cherry Profile keycaps and offer the Yunzii Milk V2 linear switch. The MIKIBY K98 also lists a Cocoa Cream V2 linear option, while the B98 PRO lists a Candy linear option. Both boards are linear-only based on their listed switch choices.

Yes, both list Mac and Windows support alongside Android and iOS in the MIKIBY K98's case. Both connect over Bluetooth, 2.4 GHz and USB-C wired. The MIKIBY K98 also states support for up to 5 devices at once.

The B98 PRO is the stronger base for modding because QMK/VIA support and the aluminum plate give you firmware and plate options beyond the MIKIBY K98. Its five-layer filling structure also gives you a starting point to tune. Both boards are hot-swappable, so switch changes are equally easy on either.
