Logitech Brings Hot-Swappable Alto Keys K98M to the US

The US launch arrives with conflicting price reports across outlets.

Overview

  • Availability has expanded to North America, with coverage citing prices ranging from $119 to $149.99 depending on the outlet.
  • The 98-key, 1800-style layout pairs a UniCushion gasket mount with hot-swappable Logi Marble linear switches that accept Cherry MX–compatible alternatives.
  • Connectivity centers on Bluetooth and Logi Bolt for multi-device wireless use, with USB-C charging during use but no wired host mode.
  • Logi Options+ enables personalization, including programmable action keys, yet reviewers note limited remapping versus enthusiast tools like QMK or VIA.
  • Design touches include a translucent two-piece case, white backlighting, PBT shine-through keycaps, and three colorways.
