What we like about Yunzii X98

  • Unique fully transparent aesthetic with high-transparency PC material
  • Vibrant, extremely bright RGB lighting with a dedicated white light mode
  • Highly customisable via QMK/VIA open-source firmware and a programmable knob
  • Flexible tri-mode connectivity supporting Bluetooth 5.0, 2.4GHz wireless, and USB-C
  • Excellent stock sound profile due to gasket mount and 5-layer dampening
  • Large 8000mAh battery providing long-lasting wireless use
  • Hot-swappable sockets compatible with both 3-pin and 5-pin mechanical switches

What we don't like about Yunzii X98

  • Tall CSA-profile keycaps can feel unusual and may require an adjustment period
  • Stock stabilizers may be under-lubricated, leading to occasional rattling on larger keys
  • Transparent keycaps can be slippery or smudgy, potentially increasing mistypes
  • The all-plastic build may feel less premium compared to aluminum alternatives at its price point
  • Smaller flip-out feet have been noted to collapse easily under forward pressure
  • Legends on clear keycaps can be difficult to read in certain lighting conditions
  • The spacebar can sound slightly hollow compared to the rest of the keys

Verdict

The Yunzii X98 is a transparent 96% mechanical keyboard with a gasket-mount structure, trimode connectivity, and hot-swappable pre-lubed Snow linear switches. It combines a full polycarbonate look, south-facing RGB lighting, QMK/VIA support, a multifunction knob, and a large 8000mAh battery for a highly customizable experience. Its main strengths are the eye-catching design, smooth acoustics from multiple damping layers, and strong flexibility through wired and wireless use. Main drawbacks are transparent keycaps that can feel slippery and show fingerprints, occasional stabilizer noise if left stock, and an all-plastic build that can sound slightly hollow compared with heavier premium boards.
