First Impressions
Priced at $29.99, the Gegago 98 Key Mechanical Keyboard is Gegago's entry in the keyboards category. With 19 buyers rating it at 4.2 stars, it currently sits at #31 of 33 in our rankings. It won't beat the top picks on raw rating, but at 34% below the category average price, it has a different value proposition.
Construction & Key Action
The keyboard's exact switch type isn't specified in the product listing, which is unusual at this price point. If switch feel matters to you, it's worth checking the manufacturer's site before ordering. At $29.99, plastic chassis and basic ABS keycaps are expected - the spend goes into making the switches feel right rather than premium materials.

Best fit for:
- Budget shoppers who want functional keyboards without overspending
Bottom Line
7.4/10
Below-average rating in a category with several stronger options. Hard to recommend over higher-ranked alternatives unless a specific feature seals it.
