What does the Yunzii B98 Pro DEFR layout offer?

It uses a compact 96% ISO layout with 101 keys, keeping a dedicated number pad while taking up less desk space than a traditional full-size keyboard. The DEFR version is intended for German and French ISO users; check the key legends on your specific version to confirm the language layout.

Does it have a dedicated number pad?

Yes. The number pad is built into the 96% layout, so it’s handy for spreadsheets, data entry, and calculator shortcuts without needing a separate keypad.

Can I connect the B98 Pro to more than one device?

Yes. It supports Bluetooth 5.0, 2.4 GHz wireless, and USB-C connections, and can pair with up to five devices. The connection options make it easy to switch between compatible computers, tablets, or phones.

Is this keyboard compatible with both Windows and Mac?

The keyboard is designed to work with Windows, Mac, Android, and other compatible devices. The exact setup and key behavior can depend on the operating system and connection method.

What can I customize with QMK and VIA?

QMK/VIA lets you tailor the keyboard’s controls to your workflow. You can remap keys, set up macros, and use layers for additional shortcuts, then configure RGB lighting to suit your preferences.

Can I change the switches without soldering?

Yes. The hot-swap sockets support compatible 3-pin and 5-pin mechanical switches, so you can replace switches without soldering. Check the switch’s pin format and fit before installing it.

How does the typing feel and sound?

The gasket-mounted design and five-layer internal filling are intended to soften keystrokes and reduce hollow-sounding resonance. Pre-lubed switches and tuned stabilizers add to the smooth feel, while the double-shot PBT keycaps are made for regular use.

Does the B98 Pro have RGB lighting?

Yes. It offers RGB backlighting with a broad range of colors and lighting customization. The LEDs face south, which can be useful when choosing compatible shine-through keycaps.

What is the rotary knob used for?

The knob can provide a convenient control for tasks such as adjusting volume, depending on its configuration. The keyboard includes two interchangeable styles—a cat-shaped knob and a round metal knob—so you can change its look.

How long does the battery last?

The B98 Pro has a built-in 8,000 mAh battery. Actual runtime varies with factors such as RGB brightness, wireless connection type, and how frequently the keyboard is used.

Can I adjust the typing angle?

Yes. Its two-level adjustable feet let you choose between different typing angles. The Cherry-profile keycaps are designed to provide a familiar, gently sculpted typing shape.

Where can I store the 2.4 GHz receiver?

There is a storage spot for the 2.4 GHz receiver beneath the keyboard’s stand, helping keep it close at hand when you are not using that wireless connection.

Product Description

The Yunzii B98 Pro DEFR suits users who want a dedicated number pad and ISO layout without moving to a conventional full-size board. It combines wireless options, QMK/VIA remapping and hot-swappable switches, making it a fit for office work, gaming and hands-on customization. It is less suited to anyone prioritizing a very small desk footprint.

Layout and customization

The compact 96% arrangement keeps the number pad and navigation keys close at hand, useful for spreadsheets and data entry. QMK/VIA support lets you remap keys, create macros and use layers for task-specific shortcuts. Two interchangeable knob styles offer a choice of appearance and control.

Typing and switch options

A gasket mount, internal dampening layers, pre-lubed switches and tuned stabilizers are intended to reduce hollow-sounding vibration and create a more cushioned, consistent feel. Hot-swap sockets support 3-pin and 5-pin switches, so you can change the switches without soldering. The supplied switch type and sound level are Unknown, so check these if you have a specific typing preference.

Connections and trade-offs

Bluetooth, 2.4 GHz wireless and USB-C support different setups, with the vendor stating that up to five devices can be connected. Windows, Mac and Android are listed as compatible. The number pad and knob save separate peripherals but take more space than a compact layout without them.

Confirm the exact DEFR key legends before choosing: the vendor describes both German QWERTZ and French AZERTY versions.
Consider another layout if minimal desk space is more important than a number pad.
