GravaStar launched the Mercury K98 Pro, a 98% wireless mechanical keyboard featuring a CNC-machined aluminum alloy chassis and a skeletonized cyberpunk design that combines high performance with bold aesthetics. The keyboard uses GravaStar's UFO Mechanical Linear switches, rated for 70 million keystrokes, alongside a five-layer dampening system and gasket-mount structure for a softer, more refined typing experience.
The Mercury K98 Pro supports tri-mode connectivity (2.4GHz, Bluetooth 5.4 and USB-C) and an 8000Hz polling rate for ultra-low-latency performance. It also features an 8000mAh battery rated for up to 228 hours of use with lighting disabled, plus a 1.65-inch TFT display for real-time information and web-based customization.
Per-key RGB lighting, three-side underglow and foot-halo ambient lighting complete the design, while three onboard profiles let users save custom settings without installing dedicated software.
