Purpose-Built 96 Keyboard Layout
The Neo Studio Neo98 is a thoughtfully engineered 96 keyboard designed to answer long-standing community demand for a full-function layout without the bulk of a traditional full-size board. Using the efficient 1800 layout, it retains all essential keys while maximising desk space, making it ideal for productivity-focused users and enthusiasts alike.
Integrated Numeric Keypad for Daily Efficiency
With a fully integrated numeric keypad, the Neo98 delivers uncompromised usability for data entry, office workflows, and gaming setups that benefit from rapid number access. This layout strikes a balance between compact design and professional functionality.
Refined Internal Structure & Acoustic Engineering
To ensure consistent sound across the board, Neo Studio has meticulously refined the internal structure of the Neo98. Every detail has been optimised to reduce unwanted resonance, resulting in enhanced acoustic performance and a clean, balanced sound profile that meets the expectations of custom mechanical keyboard enthusiasts.
Tri-Mount System with Upgraded Poron Gasket
The Neo98 adopts a versatile tri-mounting system, featuring an upgraded Poron gasket design derived from the Neo80 CU. A custom grooved structure secures the Poron without adhesive, allowing easy replacement and long-term durability while delivering a softer, more refined typing experience.
Superior Typing Feel with Forcebreak Design
A dedicated forcebreak layer separates the top and bottom cases, minimising metal-to-metal contact. This reduces vibration noise and further enhances typing comfort, contributing to the Neo98’s signature smooth and controlled keystroke feel.
Bottom Case Acoustic Chamber
To combat hollow cavity resonance, the bottom case utilises a segmented acoustic chamber design. This construction lowers vibration frequency and reinforces the Neo98’s premium sound characteristics, particularly beneficial for a larger 96 keyboard format.
Minimalist Aesthetic with Neat Side Profile
The Neo98 embraces a minimalist design language while showcasing precise craftsmanship. Its stacked side profile, clean bevels, and sharp silhouette create a slim and elegant appearance that complements modern desk setups.
Stainless Steel Weight Detailing
A generously sized stainless steel weight anchors the keyboard, available in mirror PVD or spray-coated finishes. The polished Neo badge, crafted with meticulous surface treatment, sits seamlessly within the case, adding subtle visual depth and premium character.
Ergonomic Front Height for Long Sessions
With a precisely set front height of 17.6mm, the Neo98 maintains a low-profile visual stance while providing ergonomic support for extended typing sessions, reducing fatigue without compromising aesthetics.
Flexible Foam Kit for Custom Tuning
While the Neo series prioritises a foam-less build philosophy, the Neo98 includes plate foam, an IXPE sheet, and case foam. This allows builders to fine-tune sound and feel to personal preference, catering to a wide range of custom keyboard builds.
Seven Colour Options to Match Any Setup
Available in seven carefully curated colour options, the Neo98 fits seamlessly into both professional and enthusiast environments, offering visual flexibility alongside its functional design.
