What we like about Yunzii AL98

  • Solid full CNC aluminium construction with a premium, heavy-duty feel
  • Excellent typing experience with factory-lubed linear switches and a gasket-mounted design
  • Massive 8,000mAh battery life, especially with RGB lighting turned off
  • Supports QMK/VIA for extensive key remapping and macro customisation
  • Tri-mode connectivity (Bluetooth, 2.4GHz, and USB-C) supporting up to 5 devices
  • Convenient hidden magnetic slot for the 2.4GHz wireless dongle
  • Great value for an aluminium keyboard at its price point

What we don't like about Yunzii AL98

  • Substantial weight (approx. 2.2kg/4.8lbs) makes it less portable
  • Lack of a dedicated Right-Command key, which may be a dealbreaker for Mac users
  • Potential for quality control inconsistencies in sound profile and LED longevity
  • Plate-mounted stabilizers may require additional tuning to eliminate rattle
  • Typing feel can be stiffer than expected despite the gasket mount and flex cuts
  • Disassembly can be difficult as some screws are hidden under keycaps

Verdict

The Yunzii AL98 is a premium 96% layout (101-key) mechanical keyboard featuring a heavy, CNC-machined full aluminum chassis and a gasket-mount design for a soft, cushioned typing experience. It boasts versatile tri-mode connectivity (2.4GHz, Bluetooth, and USB-C), a massive 8000mAh battery, and full QMK/VIA support for advanced remapping and macro customization. Key characteristics include its south-facing RGB lighting, hot-swappable PCB, and high-quality double-shot PBT keycaps, which collectively provide a solid, resonance-free acoustic profile. Pros include its exceptional build quality, ultra-low latency for gaming, and long-lasting battery life; however, some users find the keyboard's significant weight (approx. 2.2kg) makes it less portable, and the software customization via VIA can have a steeper learning curve for beginners.
