## Long description

The Royal Kludge R98 Pro Phantom is a 98% mechanical keyboard with Cream switches and a US ANSI layout. It combines a compact footprint with retained navigation and function keys and supports hot-swap switch replacement so users can change switches without soldering. The design is intended for users who want to save desk space while keeping full access to essential keys for typing and gaming.
Advantages
The hot-swap socket system enables easy replacement and testing of mechanical switches without tools or soldering. Cream switches deliver a consistent linear actuation profile suitable for extended typing and responsive gaming. The 98% layout preserves arrow keys and a dedicated function row while reducing overall width compared with a full-size keyboard. The US ANSI layout provides standard key spacing and compatibility with widely available keycap sets.
Suitable for
Typing and office work where a compact layout with full navigation keys is preferred
Gaming setups that require a smaller keyboard footprint but need function and arrow keys
Switch customization and testing without soldering
Users who prefer the US ANSI keycap profile and spacing

How to use
Connect the keyboard to a compatible host following the device and operating system documentation. Set the system keyboard layout to US ANSI if required. To replace switches, remove keycaps using a keycap puller, pull the switch straight out of the hot-swap socket, and press a compatible replacement switch into the socket until it is fully seated. Reinstall keycaps aligned to the US ANSI profile. No soldering is required; observe anti-static precautions and handle switches and sockets gently to avoid damage.
Usage recommendations
Use switches and keycaps compatible with US ANSI mounts and standard MX-style hot-swap sockets. Periodically remove keycaps to clean dust and debris, avoid excessive force when inserting or removing switches, and consult Royal Kludge documentation for firmware, key mapping, or maintenance procedures specific to the R98 Pro Phantom.
