The 98 key layout suits anyone who wants a cleaner desk without losing important keys. You keep the number pad for fast data entry plus the arrow and shortcut keys for daily tasks. If you never touch the numpad, our 75% keyboards save even more room.
Whether you are typing reports or gaming online, a 98 keyboard is built to keep up. Tri-mode wireless, gasket mounts and hot swappable switches handle fast input and long hours, so the board feels as good in a ranked match as it does in a work meeting.
Dareu 98 keyboards look as good as they work. Colorways range from minimalist black to playful pastels, with RGB lighting to set the mood. If you are building a setup that reflects your taste, pair the board with a matching gaming mouse and accessories.
Unlike many compact boards, 98 keyboards keep the number pad, which makes them ideal for anyone who works with numbers. Accountants, coders and spreadsheet users will find data entry much easier than on a 75 keyboard or TKL keyboard, while the board still takes up less room than a full size model.
A 98 keyboard is a compact layout with about 98 keys. It includes nearly all the keys of a full size keyboard but trims the gaps between clusters to save space, making it a middle ground between full size and tenkeyless for people who want to keep the number pad. Our guide to the 98 keyboard layout walks through every key.
A 98 keyboard balances size and function. It is smaller than a full size keyboard, so it fits smaller desks more easily, yet it keeps the number pad that TKL keyboards remove. That makes it a good fit for people who need numeric input but want more space for mouse movement.
Yes. A 98 keyboard keeps every key you need for MMO and strategy keybinds while giving your mouse more room than a full size board.
