Overview

The GravaStar Mercury K98 Pro is pitched at buyers who want an enthusiast typing experience without disassembling their keyboard to get it. Its 98-key layout keeps arrow keys and a number pad in a tighter footprint than a full-size board, and its headline feature is tri-mode connectivity: 2.4GHz wireless, Bluetooth 5.4, and USB-C wired. Both the wired and 2.4GHz modes support true 8000Hz polling, a 0.125ms interval that targets competitive players chasing every fraction of responsiveness. The GravaStar Custom UFO linear switches arrive factory pre-lubed and rated for 70 million presses, so the smooth keystroke is meant to be there from day one.

Construction is where this board makes its case. A 5-layer dampened gasket structure layers Poron case foam, an IXPE switch pad, PET film, and slow-rebound Poron to quiet resonance and produce a deep, creamy thock without aftermarket tuning. Usability extras stack on top: a 1.65-inch TFT color display for system info, keystroke data, and animations, plus a multifunction knob for volume and scrolling. Lighting runs to 19 ARGB effects and 4 ambient side-light modes. Practical ownership is handled through a web-based driver that skips any installation, remaps keys, programs macros, and tunes RGB across Windows and macOS. Battery life is quoted at up to 228 hours in 1K mode with RGB off, dropping to 166 hours in 8K mode with lighting still off.

Key Features

DUAL 8K TRI-MODE CONNECTIVITY — Connect via lag-free 2.4GHz wireless, ultra-stable Bluetooth 5.4, or high-speed USB-C wired. Wired and 2.4GHz modes both support true 8000Hz polling for a 0.125ms polling interval, delivering fast, precise input for competitive gaming and everyday use.

CUSTOM UFO LINEAR SWITCHES & 5-LAYER GASKET MOUNT — GravaStar Custom UFO mechanical switches are factory pre-lubed for smooth, consistent keystrokes and rated for 70 million presses. The 5-layer dampened gasket structure combines Poron case foam, IXPE switch pad, PET film, and slow-rebound Poron to reduce unwanted resonance and create a deep, creamy "thock" sound straight out of the box.

19 ARGB EFFECTS & 4 AMBIENT SIDE-LIGHT MODES — Choose from 19 built-in ARGB backlight effects and 4 ambient side-light modes. Customize lighting directly through the web-based driver to match your gaming setup, workspace, or personal style.

1.65" TFT SMART DISPLAY & MULTIFUNCTION KNOB — The 142 × 428 TFT color display provides at-a-glance access to system information, keystroke data, and custom animations. The multifunction control knob provides convenient control for volume, scrolling, and other assigned functions without interrupting your workflow.

UP TO 228 HOURS OF WIRELESS USE — Enjoy up to 228 hours of use in 1K mode with RGB off, or up to 166 hours in 8K mode with RGB off. The web-based driver requires no software installation and lets you remap keys, program macros, and customize RGB settings. Compatible with Windows and macOS.
