Product Information

Full details

The AJAZZ AK980 is designed for gamers and power users who require a high-performance, compact 98% layout without sacrificing the essential number pad. Featuring a sophisticated gasket-mounted design and five layers of acoustic dampening foam, this keyboard offers a premium, dampened typing feel that reduces noise during intensive use. While it delivers excellent tactile feedback and customization via its hot-swappable PCB, users should be aware that this is a strictly wired-only device, meaning it lacks wireless Bluetooth or 2.4GHz connectivity.

Troubleshooting

Ensure the Type-C cable is firmly seated in both the keyboard and the computer port; try a different USB port if necessary.

A key is not registering properly

Pros and Cons

  • Excellent sound profile due to extensive acoustic foam
  • Hot-swappable design allows for easy switch experimentation
  • Compact 98% layout saves desk space without losing the Numpad
  • Solid build quality with durable keycaps
  • Highly compatible with Windows, Mac, and Android

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup is straightforward: simply connect the provided USB Type-C cable to your keyboard and your computer's USB port. The device is driverless and should be recognized automatically by Windows, macOS, and Android systems. To ensure long-term performance, keep the keyboard away from liquid spills, as the internal foam layers can trap moisture. When cleaning, use a keycap puller to remove the caps and use compressed air to clear debris from the switch sockets. If you decide to swap your switches, always align the pins carefully with the hot-swap sockets on the PCB to avoid bending them.
