The ATM 98 features an 8-layer gasket dampening system, including anFR4 plate, Rogers Poron foam, switch pad, sound-dampening mat, and EDPM bottom foam.
Refined through years of testing and optimization in the custom keyboard community, this structure delivers a superb typing feel while effectively eliminating hollowness and scratchiness.
Bsun Light Sakura Switch: Smooth and Silent
After 3 rounds of blind testing with 23 participants, our team selected the Bsun Light Sakura switch for the ATM 98. But we didn’t stop there, after working closely with Bsun, we made multiple optimizations to the switch design, even going so far as to adjust the molds.
The result is a custom S-shaped damping stem structure, delivering a crisper bottom-out feel compared to conventional silent switches. Paired with LY material, known for its ultra-low friction, the Light Sakura switch ensures every keystroke is smoother, quieter, and more precise.
Thanks to the perfect synergy between the switch, keyboard internals, and acoustic design, ATM 98 offers a typing experience that is silent, crisp, and buttery smooth. It's a combination rarely seen in silent keyboards.
Productivity Meets Style: 98% layout with Star Ring
The tried-and-true 98-key layout delivers the full functionality of a standard keyboard, including a dedicated numpad—perfect for productivity.
On top of that, we added a customizable knob called the Star Ring. It works out of the box for volume control but can be easily customized through our software, with instant mode switching via hotkeys.
The Star Ring went through 15 design iterations before reaching its final form. The metal upper half ensures a solid and premium feel, while the acrylic lower half showcases a bold, stylish RGB presence.
All-Aluminum CNC & Tailored Finishes
We carefully match each colorway with the finish that suits it best: e-coating for Frost Whisper, anodizing for Night Ink, and spray coating for Misty Dusk. Though this requires extra effort, it delivers the sleekest, most refined finish for each unique colorway.

QMK Firmware: Fully Customizable DIY
The ATM 98 runs on the well-established QMK open-source firmware, offering extensive customization for DIY enthusiasts.
If this is your first custom mechanical keyboard and you want to fully enjoy customizable RGB effects and other D features, don’t worry. We’ve built a dedicated web-based device center to make customization easy and intuitive.
Not Just an Office Keyboard: Tri-Mode Connectivity with Lag-Free 2.4G Gaming
Many keyboards offer tri-mode connectivity, but few prioritize signal strength.
The ATM 98 leverages Angry Miao’s expertise in tuning 5G mobile signals, ensuring superior RF stability. Unlike most tri-mode keyboards with randomly placed antennas, the ATM 98 meets the same high RF standards as other Angry Miao keyboards. Our team carefully selected the most stable RF chips, designed custom antennas, and conducted rigorous signal testing.
Dedicated antenna openings may slightly affect aesthetics, but they guarantee rock-solid wireless performance, including smooth, lag-free 2.4G connectivity for gaming.
