Say Hello To Alto Keys K98M: The Mechanical Keyboard That Evolves With You

Logitech (SIX: LOGN) (NASDAQ: LOGI) recently announced the launch of Alto Keys K98M in Australia, a wireless mechanical keyboard designed to transform everyday typing into a moment of creativity and joy.

Initially launched in China and other select markets, the product experienced significant demand, reflecting the broader popularity of mechanical keyboards across the APAC region. Logitech has seen mechanical keyboards evolve from their origins as a niche trend to a mainstream sensation, driven by consumer demand for tactile satisfaction and customisation.

According to Market Growth Reports, the global mechanical keyboard market is undergoing a significant transformation, having recorded a 61% growth in demand over the past 24 months. The market is also projected to nearly double in value from US$3.21 billion in 2024 to US$6.13 billion by 2033.

Logitech’s Alto Keys K98M has been enjoying substantial demand in the Australian market since its launch in November, offering a tactile joyride experience for local users. The product features a compact 98-key layout and combines it with a proprietary UniCushion gasket design. Paired with hot-swappable Marble Switches, this keyboard guarantees smooth feedback and a rich sound profile.

Its customisable feel transforms routine typing into an unexpectedly satisfying experience. Its clean, translucent design, paired with subtle lighting and AI-powered customisation, transforms any desk, providing users with a keyboard that not only works beautifully but inspires them to create, focus, and enjoy their space.

“People want their workspace to be more than functional, they want it to inspire them,” said Art O’Gnimh, General Manager of Core Products Group at Logitech. “With Alto Keys K98M, we set out to create a mechanical keyboard that feels personal and expressive, not just practical. From the satisfying sound and feel of each keystroke to the ability to swap keys and make it your own, Alto Keys transforms an everyday tool into something that brings joy, creativity, and focus back to the desk.”

Alto Keys K98M isn’t just about getting work done; it’s about making your desk a place you want to be. It combines comfort, creativity, and self-expression into every keystroke.
