96% Layout with Number Pad
The GE RKR98 Pro Wired is a compact mechanical keyboard that keeps a full numeric pad and arrow cluster within a 98-key footprint. It targets gamers and office users who want desk space savings without losing dedicated number entry. A gasket mount and five layers of sound-absorbing foam deliver a thocky, creamy acoustic profile. Hot-swappable sockets accept both 3-pin and 5-pin switches for easy customisation.
Wired USB Connection Limits
The keyboard operates over a wired USB link, so latency is minimal and no battery management is required. However, the cable ties the board to a single host and prevents wireless freedom. The detachable aluminium volume knob adds tactile control but must be kept track of when transported. Four indicator lights show Num Lock, Caps Lock, Win Lock and Mac Mode status at a glance.
98 Keys and MDA PBT Keycaps
The 98-key layout covers standard typing, gaming macros and productivity shortcuts in one deck. MDA-profile double-shot PBT keycaps resist shine and provide a sculpted feel that suits long sessions. Pre-lubed linear cream switches offer smooth travel out of the box, while the hot-swap PCB allows swap to tactile or clicky options later. The online driver enables per-key RGB, macro recording and key remapping on Windows and Mac.

Questions about this item
Should I pick the linear Cream or tactile Beige switch version?
Choose Cream for a smooth, quiet linear stroke with a creamy sound, or Beige if you prefer a tactile bump and clear feedback for typing.

How does the wired USB connection limit RGB and macro settings?
The cable provides stable power for full RGB control and lets the online driver store macros and key remaps on Windows and Mac.
