What will you mostly use it for?
The B98 PRO is the more task-focused option for office and content work when a numpad and multimedia controls matter. For gaming, both share a 1000 Hz polling rate, linear switches, and N-Key Rollover, so layout preference is the clearer distinction. Programming and modding are close because both offer QMK/VIA and hot-swap support. The AL80’s smaller footprint may suit travel better, but it weighs more, so it is not the lighter choice.
It's a tie
- Both list a 1000 Hz polling rate, linear switches, gasket mounts, and N-Key Rollover.
- The AL80 has a 75% layout, while the B98 PRO includes a numpad in its 96% layout.
