The Machenike KG98 is a premium 96% mechanical keyboard built for gamers and professionals who require both desk space efficiency and full-sized functionality. Featuring tri-mode connectivity and a hot-swappable PCB, it is ideal for users who want to customize their typing experience without soldering, though its 1000 mAh battery capacity is relatively modest for heavy users who prefer wireless operation.

Yes, you can connect the keyboard via the provided USB-C cable to use it in wired mode while simultaneously charging the internal battery.
Yes, the KG98 uses a standard mechanical switch stem layout that is compatible with most aftermarket MX-style keycap sets.
The keyboard supports multi-device pairing; use the dedicated function key shortcuts to toggle between the saved Bluetooth channels and the 2.4GHz mode.
Basic lighting effects can typically be toggled directly on the keyboard using function key combinations, though specific software may be required for deep customization.
The board supports most standard 3-pin or 5-pin mechanical switches designed for hot-swap PCBs.
Check that the USB cable is fully seated or that the wireless dongle is plugged into a USB port directly on the PC motherboard rather than a hub.
Ensure the battery is charged and that the 2.4GHz receiver is free from physical obstructions that could cause signal interference.
If the keyboard is hot-swappable, remove the keycap and check if the switch is properly seated or if the pin has been bent during installation.
To connect via 2.4GHz, simply plug the receiver into an available USB port and set the keyboard toggle to 2.4G. For Bluetooth, hold the pairing key combination to enter discovery mode on your target device. The keyboard is fully compatible with Windows and supports standard QWERTY layouts out of the box. For care, use a keycap puller to remove caps periodically for cleaning; if swapping switches, ensure the pins of the new switch are perfectly straight before inserting them into the hotswap sockets to avoid damaging the PCB.
