What connectivity options does the Leobog Hi98c Pro support?

The Leobog Hi98c Pro offers versatile tri-mode connectivity, allowing you to connect via wired USB Type-C, Bluetooth, or 2.4G wireless. This flexibility makes it convenient to switch between devices or use it wirelessly without sacrificing responsiveness.

Can I customize the switches on this keyboard?

Yes, the keyboard features a hot-swappable PCB compatible with both 3-pin and 5-pin mechanical switches. This means you can easily swap out switches without soldering, letting you tailor the typing feel and sound to your preference.

What kind of typing experience can I expect from this keyboard?

Thanks to its gasket mount design combined with five layers of acoustic dampening, this keyboard delivers a smooth and 'creamy' typing sound and feel right out of the box. The flex-cut PC plate also adds a subtle flex that enhances typing comfort.

How is the RGB lighting implemented on this keyboard?

The keyboard uses south-facing RGB LEDs which help prevent light from being blocked by keycap legends, especially on Cherry profile keycaps. This results in vibrant, evenly distributed backlighting that enhances both aesthetics and visibility.

What materials are used in the construction of the keyboard?

The Leobog Hi98c Pro features a sturdy aluminum alloy case that provides a premium and durable build. The keycaps are made from double-shot PBT in Cherry profile, offering excellent durability and a comfortable typing surface.

Is the keyboard portable despite its build?

While the keyboard has a solid aluminum case and weighs approximately 2.8 kg, its compact 98% layout (101 keys) strikes a balance between functionality and desk space. It’s portable enough for desktop setups but heavier than typical plastic keyboards.

What is the battery life like when using wireless modes?

Equipped with an 8000mAh battery, the keyboard offers extended usage time when connected via Bluetooth or 2.4G wireless. This large capacity helps ensure you can enjoy wireless freedom for long periods without frequent recharging.

Does the keyboard support software customization for lighting and macros?

While the keyboard supports RGB lighting with customizable effects, detailed software customization capabilities depend on the firmware and companion software provided. Generally, users can expect to adjust lighting modes and possibly program macros to enhance productivity.

What is the layout size and key count of this mechanical keyboard?

This keyboard features a 98% compact layout with 101 keys, combining most of the functionality of a full-size keyboard while saving desk space. It includes a number pad and arrow keys in a more condensed form factor.

How does the gasket mount impact the typing feel?

The gasket mount design isolates the plate and PCB from the case using soft materials, which softens keypresses and reduces vibrations. This results in a more cushioned, quieter, and premium typing experience compared to traditional mounting methods.

Product Description

The Leobog Hi98c Pro is a 98% layout mechanical keyboard designed for users who want a compact yet nearly full-size board with versatile connectivity and customization options. It suits hobbyists who value switch swapping and a refined typing sound, as well as users needing flexible wired and wireless use. Its aluminum build and gasket mount aim to provide a solid and cushioned typing feel.

Key Features

Tri-mode connectivity offers wired USB-C, Bluetooth, and 2.4G wireless options, allowing seamless switching between devices or use cases.
Hot-swappable sockets support both 3-pin and 5-pin switches, enabling easy customization without soldering.
Five layers of acoustic dampening and gasket mount construction reduce typing noise and vibration for a quieter experience.
South-facing RGB lighting improves compatibility with keycap profiles and reduces light bleed on certain keycaps.
Large 8000mAh battery supports extended wireless use, though exact battery life is unknown.

Build Quality

The keyboard features a full aluminum alloy case, providing durability and weight for stability during typing. The gasket mount design uses a flexible mounting system to soften keypress impact, contributing to a cushioned typing feel. Double-shot PBT keycaps in Cherry profile resist shine and wear over time.

Typing Experience

Out of the box, the keyboard delivers a smooth, "creamy" sound and feel, aided by the acoustic dampening layers. The gasket mount reduces harsh feedback, making long typing sessions more comfortable. Hot-swappable support allows users to tailor the feel by trying different mechanical switches.

Connectivity

Users can connect via wired USB-C for low latency and reliable response, or switch to Bluetooth or 2.4G wireless for cable-free use. This flexibility suits both desktop setups and mobile or multi-device environments. Wireless latency and battery life details are unknown.

Trade-offs

The keyboard is relatively heavy at about 2.8 kg, which may reduce portability.
The 98% layout omits a few keys compared to full-size boards, which may affect users needing dedicated navigation or function keys.
Battery life and wireless performance specifics are not provided, so users requiring guaranteed long wireless sessions may need to verify independently.
