MIKIBY AK980 Pro Wireless Mechanical Gaming Keyboard, Purple, TFT Display
Product description
A keyboard for everyday typing has different priorities from one built for gaming and on-the-fly control. The MIKIBY AK980 Pro brings a TFT display, a metal knob, and hot-swappable switches to a mechanical QWERTY layout.
Choose Bluetooth for a wireless connection to a compatible device, 2.4GHz wireless for a gaming setup, or USB-C when you prefer a wired connection. The three modes make it easier to move between different ways of working and playing.
In purple with Lychee switches, this keyboard combines a 97-key layout with RGB backlighting and a 10,000mAh battery. Its display and knob put useful status information and adjustments within easy reach.
Getting the most from it
Use the TFT screen to check the time, battery level, connection mode, and selected Windows or Mac layout. It can also show a customized GIF. The metal knob adjusts volume and lighting, giving you a physical control for quick changes while gaming, listening, or working.
For a desk shared between a computer, tablet, or smartphone, the tri-mode design offers Bluetooth, 2.4GHz wireless, and USB-C connectivity. The listing identifies compatibility with computers, tablets, and smartphones, as well as gaming consoles. Select the connection that suits the device and task.
The keyboard supports an 8,000Hz polling rate over wired USB-C or 2.4GHz wireless. RGB lighting includes 20 preset effects, and the web driver can customize function keys and set options such as macros, SOCD, DKS, MT, and TGL. Buyers often praise the typing feel, sound, appearance, and connectivity, feedback on functionality is mixed, with some reporting that the keyboard stopped working.

What you’ll notice day to day
The screen brings connection and battery information into view rather than leaving it buried in software, while the knob provides direct volume and lighting adjustment. For extended typing sessions, the gasket-mounted construction is designed to add cushioning beneath the keys and reduce typing noise. The linear switches and hot-swap support also let you change compatible switches without soldering, so the typing feel can be tailored with supported 3-pin or 5-pin options.
This is a practical fit for a gaming desk that also handles everyday typing, media controls, or creative work. A basic keyboard may suit someone who only needs straightforward text entry, the AK980 Pro is aimed at people who want more direct controls, customizable lighting, and multiple connection choices in the same setup.
