Choose the B98 PRO if QMK/VIA, the OLED screen and the knob are priorities, especially for work that benefits from remapping and shortcuts. Pick the YZ98 if you want the lighter, narrower option and value its specifically described foam and pad layers. Both offer wireless modes, hot-swap support and 1000 Hz polling, so those features alone do not separate them.

What will you mostly use it for?
The B98 PRO takes the clearer office, programming, modding and content-creation roles because it combines dedicated controls with QMK/VIA support. The YZ98's lower listed weight and narrower case give it the edge when moving a keyboard matters. Gaming is a draw on the listed core features, with both offering linear switches, N-key rollover and 1000 Hz polling. Both are wireless gasket-mount boards, so neither is a clear choice based on those shared features alone.
It's a tie
- Both list linear switches, N-key rollover, wireless and wired connectivity, and a 1000 Hz polling rate.
- The B98 PRO adds a knob and QMK/VIA support, while the YZ98 description highlights its gasket structure and sound-filling layers.
