Coming in 1800 compact, the keyboard comes with a numpad that can be necessary for many people, as well as the main alpha area and some additional cursor keys. Still, the keyboard is saving space for the mouse area compared with a full-size keyboard.

The keyboard can be connected up to 3 device and each device can be easily. With Bluetooth connection, it easily connects seamlessly to your devices without messy cables.
Gasket-Mounted, Poron PCB Foam & IXPE Switch Sheet
Gasket mounting is a type of keyboard mounting, where no screw are used into the switch plate. With the high-quality Poron PCB foam and IXPE Switch that aim to dampen noises, the keyboard creates a cleaner sound profile because the gaskets cushion the shock of each keypress.
Customized Linear Switches with & Hotswappable
The switches in the keyboard are Quark Matte switches that features linear typing experience and 47g operating force, CIDOO Mint 48g and CIDOO Blue-through switch 55g. Being factory lubed, the switches are durable and attribute to creating clear acoustic environment. The keyboard is equipped with hot-swappable PCB that supports 3-pin and 5-pin mechanical switches. Hot-swappable PCB is convenient for replacing other mechanical switches freely without soldering issue. By swapping the switches, you can build your own keyboard that fits your typing habits easily.
South-facing LEDs & Light Diffusers
CIDOO ABM098 features RGB backlights that are also customizable. With south-facing LEDs, the keyboard avoids the interference with the popular cherry profile keycaps. What’s more, the keyboard comes with light pipes which make the RGB lights brighter and bring more fun for customization.
Rotary Knob for Media Control & NKRO Supportable
CIDOO has listened to the community that the knob on V65 is too small, and so ABM98 is designed with a noticeable knob to control volume! By simply rotate left, right and press, the keyboard can turn the system volume up, down and muted. As for anti-ghosting, the keyboard is NKRO.

Bought this keyboard for my dad who doesn't see well. The lettering are very prominent and the colors on the keycaps are vibrant and the RGB lighting gets bright enough for him to see the keyboard clearly. Also, he loves the sound and feels of the keyboard. 10/10 would recommend
Most well-built keyboard I've ever used and very pleasant on the eyes as well. My one gripe with it is that it has no backtick/tilde key. The reason for this is that they put the knob where the escape key usually is, so they had to move the escape key to where the backtick/tilde key goes. It's not a key I use a lot, but I still wish it was there. Other than that though, the keyboard is amazing! Great typing experience! Will probably purchase more CIDOO boards in the future!
I've never had linear keys before and this feels so nice to type on, build is sturdy and heavy, keys are matte and soft on the fingers
Even better than i expected, clean build and packaging and amazing typing experience
