YUNZII C98
The YUNZII C98 Cake Meow keeps a number pad beside its rounded MOA keycaps. A cake-shaped case, side lighting and a small illuminated face give it a playful finish. Underneath, it is a gasket-mounted wireless mechanical keyboard with hot-swap sockets, three connection modes and a 10000 mAh battery.

Cake details around a practical layout
The C98 keeps its number pad close to the main keys in a 96% layout. Rounded PBT MOA keycaps sit inside a sculpted cake-style case, with small decorative details along the edges. The photographs show several colourways; match the finish to your selected variant.
Wireless, or plugged into your desk
Bluetooth offers three pairing channels, while the 2.4 GHz receiver and USB-C port give you two other connection options. The receiver has its own storage slot. Windows and macOS modes let you use the keyboard with either system, and the battery is rated at 10000 mAh.
Gasket construction and replaceable switches
A gasket-mounted assembly sits above foam and silicone layers inside the case. The hot-swap sockets accept compatible 3-pin and 5-pin mechanical switches, and the switches and stabilisers are pre-lubed. Milk V2 and Candy switches appear in the imagery; check which configuration you are selecting.
Light along the sides
South-facing RGB sits beneath the keycaps, with a separate illuminated band around the case and a smiley light above the function row. Keyboard shortcuts adjust the lighting. The smiley indicator also shows charging status, including a green light when the battery is fully charged.
Make your shortcuts fit
The custom web driver and Windows software provide key remapping, macro recording and backlight settings. Connect the C98 by USB before using the driver, which requires wired mode. The keyboard itself can still be used wirelessly over Bluetooth or the 2.4 GHz receiver.
The matching accessories
A matching mouse pad, stickers, a greeting card and a dust cover accompany the keyboard. The package also includes a USB-C cable, a switch and keycap puller, extra keycaps and switches. Accessory colours and decorative details depend on the selected keyboard variant.

Frequently asked questions
Does the C98 have a number pad?
Yes. Its 96% layout has a dedicated number pad beside the main typing area.
Can I customise it wirelessly?
The driver requires USB wired mode. The keyboard itself supports Bluetooth and 2.4 GHz wireless use, but the customisation image specifies a wired connection for the driver.
Which switches come with the C98?
The images show Milk V2 and Candy switches, while the old specification text lists Candy only. Check the selected variant rather than assuming every C98 has the same switch.
