[Pre Order] Mercury K98 - Smoky Translucent

The GravaStar Mercury K98 in Smoky Translucent is a 98-key wireless mechanical keyboard that brings a sculpted, hollow-frame design to your gaming and work setup. Its ANSI layout keeps a dedicated number pad with a standard 2U zero key, while factory-lubed linear switches, a gasket-mounted build, and frosted translucent PC keycaps give everyday typing a smooth feel and a distinctive look.

A Compact 98-Key Layout with a Practical Number Pad

Move from spreadsheets to your next gaming session without giving up the keys you rely on. The K98 combines a space-conscious 98-key layout with a dedicated numeric keypad. A full-width 2U zero key keeps number entry familiar, so you do not have to adjust to a narrow zero key.

Smoky Translucent Design and PC Keycaps

A three-dimensional, hollowed-out frame gives the Mercury K98 its sculpted silhouette. Frosted translucent polycarbonate (PC) keycaps with UV-printed legends complete the Smoky Translucent look, bringing texture and depth to your desk without relying on an ordinary solid-color finish.

Factory-Lubed Linear Mechanical Switches

Enjoy smooth, consistent keystrokes with custom linear mechanical switches. Factory lubrication helps each press glide through its travel without a tactile bump, making the keyboard a natural fit for gaming and everyday typing. These are standard linear switches, not silent switches.

Multi-Layer Gasket Mount for a Softer Typing Feel

A gasket-mounted construction pairs a flexible PC plate with dual PORON foam layers and IXPE pads. These internal layers help absorb resonance and cushion each keystroke, creating a softer, more controlled typing feel without additional modifications.

A 1.65-Inch TFT Display That Makes It Yours

Check the time, battery level, and connection mode on the built-in color TFT screen. Use media controls and personalize the display with custom backgrounds, screensavers, or 428 × 124 px animations to make your setup feel more like your own.

Three Connection Modes, Windows and macOS Support

Choose 2.4 GHz wireless with the included receiver, Bluetooth 5.4, or a USB-C wired connection. A physical OS slider lets you switch between Windows and macOS layouts, making the K98 a practical choice for both gaming PCs and work setups.

Browser-Based Customization with Onboard Memory

Use the GravaStar Web Hub to remap keys, create macros, and customize RGB effects directly in your browser without installing a separate configuration app. Save your settings to onboard memory to keep your preferred setup on the keyboard.

RGB Lighting and a 4,000 mAh Battery

Choose from 12 RGB lighting presets or customize the effects through the web configurator. A built-in 4,000 mAh battery powers wireless use. Actual battery life varies with lighting, display settings, connection mode, and usage.
