Grava Star launches the Mercury K98 Pro, a 98‑percent full‑size wireless mechanical keyboard that marries cyberpunk aesthetics with performance. The chassis is a CNC‑machined aluminium skeleton, exposing a skeletal look while keeping the board lightweight. The design targets gamers and creators who need a full layout without bulk.

Inside, the board houses Grava Star’s proprietary UFO linear switches rated for 70 million keystrokes. A five‑layer dampening stack shapes a deep, focused sound signature. The 8000 Hz polling rate delivers 0.1 ms wired and 0.4 ms wireless response, keeping latency in check for competitive play. These switches echo the feel of high‑end gaming rigs, offering a crisp, linear action that feels both responsive and muted.

Battery life tops the list: an 8000 mAh pack powers 228 hours idle and 19–21 hours with full RGB. Tri‑mode connectivity—2.4 GHz, Bluetooth 5.4, and USB‑C—lets users switch between cable and wirelessly without dropping speed. The tri‑mode setup ensures users can jolt between cable and wireless without losing the 0.1 ms wired advantage.

A 1.65‑inch TFT display offers on‑screen feedback and a web‑based driver for customization, while surround RGB and foot‑halo lighting extend ambience beyond the keys. Priced at $259, the Mercury K98 Pro ships worldwide, aiming to redefine full‑size keyboard expectations. This move places Grava Star among elite peripheral makers, challenging larger brands with a compact, feature‑rich alternative.
