Akko 3098B (98-Key/Akko CS Hot-Swap/Tri-Mode Wireless + Wired/PBT Keycaps/RGB Backlighting) Review

Akko 3098B 98-key tri-mode wireless hot-swappable mechanical keyboard, Akko CS switches, PBT dye-sublimated keycaps, compact full-size layout.

The 3098B squeezes a full numpad and arrow cluster into a 98-key layout tighter than a traditional full-size board, then adds Akko's tri-mode wireless and hot-swap socket so buyers can drop in their own switches. Akko's dye-sublimated PBT keycaps resist shine far longer than the ABS caps typical at this price.

Comparison to Alternatives

Against the Akko 5075B Plus, the 3098B trades the 75%'s compact footprint for a full numpad while keeping the same tri-mode wireless and hot-swap approach. Compared with the Royal Kludge RK84, the 3098B includes a complete numpad the RK84's 84-key layout omits, at a modest price premium.
