98-Key Gasket Mechanical Keyboard

The GE wired mechanical keyboard uses a 98-key layout that keeps the number pad and arrow keys while saving desk space. A gasket mount with five layers of sound-absorbing foam reduces hollow sound by 90 percent and noise by 50 percent for a thocky, creamy typing feel. MDA-profile double-shot PBT keycaps provide a matte, wear-resistant surface that resists fading. Pre-lubed tactile beige switches deliver fast response and clear feedback for typists and enthusiasts.

Hot-Swappable Beige Switch Upgrade

The board supports 3-pin and 5-pin switches so you can change the typing feel without soldering. Pre-lubed beige switches are already installed, offering a tactile bump suited to heavy typing and gaming sessions. Swapping to linear, clicky or alternative tactile switches lets you tune sound profile and actuation to personal preference. The jump is worth it if you want a ready-to-use tactile experience with the freedom to experiment later.

Compatibility Check Before Buying

Verify that your system has an available USB-A port for the wired connection. Confirm that your operating system is Windows or Mac, as the keyboard includes dedicated Win Lock and Mac Mode indicator lights. Ensure you have 15.3 by 5.5 inches of desk clearance for the footprint. No driver installation is required for basic use, though an online driver at drive.rkgaming.com enables key remapping, macros and custom RGB profiles.

Questions about this item

What desk space do the 15.3 in x 5.5 in dimensions need?

The keyboard measures 15.3 inches long by 5.5 inches wide and 1.6 inches high, so allow at least that footprint plus room for the detachable volume knob and cable routing.

How do I swap the pre-lubed tactile beige switches without soldering?

Pull the keycaps with the included puller, use a switch puller to remove the 3-pin or 5-pin beige switches, then press the new switches straight into the hot-swap sockets until they click.

When will the double-shot MDA PBT keycaps need replacing?

The double-shot PBT legends will not fade, and the matte surface resists shine; replacement is only needed if a cap cracks or you want a different profile.
