99% Compact Full-Size Layout

The 99% layout provides 99 keys while retaining the functionality of a full-size keyboard, including the numeric keypad. The compact arrangement reduces unnecessary spacing between key groups, creating a more efficient footprint for gaming desks and workstations.

A dedicated multimedia control knob adds convenient physical control for supported multimedia functions, making it useful for adjusting volume and managing media without interrupting gaming or productivity workflows.

Pre-Lubed Linear Mechanical Switches

The Akula 99 uses factory pre-lubed linear mechanical switches designed to provide smooth and consistent key presses. With a 1.5mm actuation point and 3.6mm total travel, the switches are designed for responsive input during gaming and controlled typing during everyday use.

The switches are rated for up to 60 million keystrokes, providing long-term durability for users who spend extensive time gaming, creating content, or working at their keyboard.

Hot-Swappable Switch Design

The hot-swappable switch system allows compatible mechanical switches to be changed without soldering. This gives enthusiasts the flexibility to experiment with different switch characteristics and customize the keyboard's typing feel according to personal preference.

Double-Shot PBT Cherry-Style Keycaps

The keyboard features double-shot PBT keycaps in a Cherry-style profile. PBT construction provides a durable surface designed to resist the shine and wear that can develop with extended keyboard use, while the double-shot manufacturing process helps maintain clear legends.

5-Layer Gasket Mount & Sound Dampening

The Akula 99 uses a 5-layer gasket mounting design incorporating a sound-dampening layer. This construction is designed to provide a softer and more controlled typing feel while reducing unwanted resonance from the keyboard structure.

The gasket-style construction complements the pre-lubed linear switches, creating a typing experience suited to users who prefer smooth mechanical key presses with additional structural dampening.

Addressable RGB Lighting

The addressable RGB lighting system provides per-key lighting customization with a wide range of colors and effects. The lighting can be used to personalize the keyboard's appearance and complement other components in a gaming setup.

Tri-Mode Connectivity

The Akula 99 supports three connection methods: USB wired, 2.4GHz wireless, and Bluetooth. Wired USB connectivity is suitable for gaming sessions where a direct connection is preferred, while 2.4GHz and Bluetooth provide wireless flexibility for compatible devices.

The tri-mode design makes the keyboard suitable for users who switch between gaming PCs, laptops, and other compatible devices. The included 1.6m braided Type-C cable provides a convenient wired connection when required.

1000Hz Polling & Responsive Input

With a reported 1000Hz polling rate and 1ms latency, the Akula 99 is designed for responsive input during gaming and fast-paced applications. The combination of mechanical switches, N-key rollover, anti-ghosting, and high polling rate supports accurate key registration during demanding gameplay.

8000mAh Battery

The built-in 8000mAh battery provides extended wireless operation. Cybeart rates the keyboard for up to 32 hours with RGB lighting enabled and up to 400 hours with lighting disabled. Actual battery life varies according to connection mode, lighting brightness, effects, usage, and other operating conditions.

Anti-Ghosting & N-Key Rollover

The anti-ghosting and N-key rollover system is designed to register multiple simultaneous key presses accurately. This is particularly useful for gaming situations that require simultaneous movement, action, shortcut, and modifier inputs.
