MechLands Feker Alice98 Ergonomic 98 Keys Custom Mechanical Keyboard VIA Programmable USB-C Wired Gaming Keyboard Hot Swappable 5

Bought 2, work and home. Switches are great but swapped out for slightly quieter ones for work (still prefer the marble switches it came with). Usevia.app works perfect for reassigning keys, utilizing layers, and adjusting lighting. I use layer 2 for any temporary modifiers activated by "Fn" key + an assigned key to actuate keys such as "print screen". "Home" and "End" can simply be actuated by pressing "Shift" + "7" for "Home" and + "1" for "End" on the numeric keypad. Excellent quality for the price. This Alice layout reduces wrist strain compared to a standard layout. The key caps on the black option vary from the photo, I find the ones on the keyboards I received more modern and visually appealing. Highly recommend. Read more

I was looking for ergonomic Alice keyboard with a numpad for a long. Only holding the box you can tell that a quality item is inside. I love the sound and the feel of the keys. Was looking for a wired one, so this is a plus too. The only thing missing is the Home button. I was using it a lot on my old keyboard and now I miss having it. Compared to the quality of the keyboard this is not a deal breaker for me :) LEDs are great too. The del and pgup and pgdn are weirdly placed, but still not a deal breaker. Pros: Wired (if you're looking for wired) LED Keys sound Key touch Num pad Hand rest Tools for removing keys Cons: No Home button No app to manage the LEDs or other functions. Del and PgUp PgDw buttons weirdly placed The keyboard could have been designed with a reverse tilt for more natural position of the hands. Read more

Keyboard arrived properly packaged and safe, but upon plugging it in, three keys didn't work. When I would press O or L, it would activate the whole row of keys. I managed to fix those, but the 4 key on the top number row is still faulty, sometimes not typing, and sometimes putting multiple 4s. The sound is wonderful though. Very sturdy and poppy. Edit 7/25/25: Problems with the O and L key have returned, and the light around the knob is flashing and flickering now. Seller has offered a full refund. Waiting for them to get back in touch. Edit 7/27/25: The issues appeared to be because of broken switches! An easy enough fix, and the seller offered to send me a set of switches to replace the broken ones. Still 4 stars because of the issue, but raised from 2 stars for the customer service. Read more

One of the biggest issues of Alice keyboards is a penchant for smaller or more compact layouts. This is one of the few that gets close to a full size keyboard without sacrificing functionality or price. Right now Keychron has made some incredible keyboards, especially with Alice layout, but they're all relatively expensive due to their aluminum build. This here isn't aluminum, but who really needs that if you just care for the layout? Keychron's fullest size Alice is nearing the $200 mark!!! The price of this alongside it's mechanical features is insanely cheap for what you're getting and I wouldn't hesitate for a second to recommend this to someone. Overall, insanely good for the price you pay and even better if you get it on sale or used. Also, yes the knob can be changed out so don't worry about the color too much. :) Read more

Keys are not back lite through the keys. Has a very soft hollow sound typing. Was so bad didn't have plugged in a hour. Lights are not strong enough to read keys in low light or dark. wrist pad is connected in now way. Has two B keys making it confusing. Read more

The media could not be loaded. This is my 2nd FEKER Alice98 keyboard. (My first one is a tri-connection FEKER Alice98 in black.) I am extremely happy with this keyboard. I love the ergonomic design and the layout. The keyboard is easy to use and functions correctly. This keyboard is wired connection only. Since this keyboard is wired only, it is a lot lighter than the tri-connection version. The lighter weight doesn't affect me. On the back of the wired keyboard is the spot where the wireless USB would go if it supported wireless connectivity. I am a fan of the cherry profile for the keycaps. I am also happy to say that switching out keycaps was a breeze on this keyboard. I love the blue accents on this keyboard. Depending on how you type, it could be on the loud side. Personally, I love the key sounds. My only gripe is the connection cord. My previous Alice98 came with a long, coiled cord. This one is just a basic straight cord that seems to be a little shorter. That disappoinment is on me, however, and does not take away from the actual functionality of the keyboard. I would highly recommend this keyboard for anyone looking for an ergonomic and/or a mechanical keyboard! I have included photos of the stock keyboard, replacement keycaps installed, and a video of me typing on the stock keys. Read more

I bought this keyboard a little over 3 months ago. After getting the keyboard, I realized it's missing keys, like page down, page up, end, home. Keys that most normal keyboards have. My fault, I didn't really look at it as closely as I should have. On the downside, there are pre-programmed combos that you can use, 3 key combo, to mimic the page-up and page-down. Haven't checked on Home and End yet, wouldn't be surprised if it's 3 or 4 keys to get that working. My biggest complaint is the knob in the upper right and the strip of lights. What started off as a mild inconvenience, is now an almost bi-weekly problem. I have to reset the keyboard every couple weeks to get the volume knob to work. And there is absolutely no reason for the small strip of light next to the page up / page down buttons. It has no function other than to look pretty. Read more
