CORBOBO LEOBOG A98 96% Wireless Mechanical Keyboard with RGB and Hot-Swap
Product description
What to know
For a desk that needs both a number pad and room for a mouse, the LEOBOG A98 brings the essentials together in a compact 96% layout. Some keys are repositioned, while the number pad stays available for spreadsheets, data entry, and shortcuts.
Choose how to connect: Bluetooth 5.0, 2.4 GHz wireless, or USB-C wired mode. The keyboard can pair with up to five devices, making it practical to move between a computer, laptop, or other compatible device. RGB backlighting offers 16 effects and 16.8 million color options, and the built-in knob adjusts volume, lighting brightness or speed, and lighting modes.
The gasket-mounted structure uses five layers of internal sound damping, and double-shot PBT keycaps complete the creamy green design. Buyers often praise the typing feel, sound, and color, while some report mixed experiences with connection, key registration, or switch responsiveness. These impressions vary, so they’re best considered alongside the keyboard’s documented features.
Who it’s for
The A98 suits people who want a mechanical keyboard for gaming and everyday work without giving up a number pad. Its combination of compact layout, three connection modes, and customizable RGB makes it easy to tailor a desk setup for different tasks. Hot-swap support allows compatible 3-pin or 5-pin switches to be changed without soldering, offering a way to adjust the typing feel over time.
It supports Windows, Mac, and Android through its connection modes. For key remapping, RGB customization, and macro settings, the software requires Windows and a USB-C wired connection. Use FN+W for Windows mode, FN+E for Mac, and FN+Q for Android.
Practical tips
For a wired setup, connect the USB-C data cable to a rear USB port on the computer. For 2.4 GHz wireless, plug in the receiver stored near the knob, Bluetooth pairing uses FN+1, FN+2, or FN+3 for three-device pairing. The keyboard’s instructions also provide steps for switching modes and clearing old Bluetooth pairing records.
The knob gives commonly used adjustments a dedicated control, so you can change volume or lighting without navigating menus. N-key rollover and macro programming support gaming and customized key assignments. The built-in 8,000mAh battery is designed for wireless use, while USB-C provides a wired option. A keycap puller, USB cable, and user manual are included.
What to clarify
Does the A98 include a number pad? Yes. Its 96% layout retains the number pad, with some keys repositioned to keep the overall layout compact.
Can I use it with a Mac or Android device? Yes. The keyboard supports Mac and Android as well as Windows through Bluetooth, 2.4 GHz wireless, and USB-C. Use the corresponding function-key combination to select the system mode. The customization software is for Windows and requires a wired USB-C connection for full features.
Can I change the mechanical switches? Yes. Its hot-swap PCB supports compatible 3-pin and 5-pin switches without soldering, so you can replace switches to customize the typing feel.
Is it worth it?
The LEOBOG A98 is a strong fit for a mixed gaming-and-work setup where a number pad matters but a conventional full-size footprint is less appealing. Its three connection options, programmable controls, sound-damped gasket structure, and switch-swapping capability give you practical ways to shape both your setup and typing experience.
