4.4 Windows/Mac Compatibility
The keyboard is designed to be compatible with both Windows and Mac operating systems, eliminating the need for specific drivers or complex setup procedures for different platforms.
5. Característiques clau
5.1 Gasket-Mounted Structure
The SKY98 utilizes a gasket-mounted design where the positioning plate is secured by pressure between the upper and lower shells, cushioned by gaskets. This structure prevents direct contact between internal components and the keyboard casing, reducing vibrations and noise during typing. The result is a softer, more even, and acoustically pleasing keystroke.

5.2 5-Layer Sound Absorbing Filling
To further enhance the typing sound and reduce hollow noises, the keyboard incorporates five layers of sound-absorbing materials between the positioning plate, PCB board, and bottom case. These layers include IXPE foam, PORON foam, a diaphragm, EVA soundproofing foam, and a silicone absorbing pad. This comprehensive dampening system minimizes internal resonance, contributing to a comfortable and pleasant typing experience.

5.3 Hot-Swappable Sockets & Pre-Lubed Switches
The SKY98 keyboard features hot-swappable sockets, allowing users to easily change switches without soldering. It is compatible with both 3-pin and 5-pin mechanical switches, offering customization options. The keyboard comes equipped with MageGee's finely tuned Blue Whale switches, which are factory pre-lubricated for smooth operation and have a lifespan of up to 70 million keystrokes.
