# Gravastar Mercury K98 Pro

Gravastar keyboards are unlike any other keyboard in my collection. The [K98's](https://www.gravastar.com/products/mercury-k98-pro-mechanical-gaming-keyboard-phantom-black) alien appearance is consistent with the Gravastar brand.

### Out of the Box - First Impressions

I was surprised the keyboard did NOT automatically connect to my PC when using the wired USB-C/USB-A cable. Pressing the Fn + 4 key combination sets the connection mode to WIRED.

The keyboard looks, feels, and sounds great. The [online software](https://support.gravastar.com/) driver makes setup and configuration easy, allowing you to tailor the keyboard to your liking.

The keycaps feel great, and the legends are crisp and clean. The spacebar, navigation, shift, caps lock, tab, escape, enter, F1-F4, and F9-12 are shine-through keys. The remaining keys are backlit only. A separate solid-green spacebar is included in the accessories box.
