A pleasant-sounding, well-built hot-swap keyboard let down by rough companion software; buy it for the hardware and skip the app.

Overview
The SOLAKAKA A99 Pro is a tri-mode wireless mechanical keyboard with a small LCD screen, a multi-function knob and hot-swappable switches, built for gamers and typists who want a cushioned, quiet-clicking board with RGB lighting.
Its gasket-mounted case and pre-lubricated switches are aimed at the 'creamy sound' crowd rather than competitive shooters, and reviewers back that up. The included companion software is the weak point buyers keep raising, so treat the keyboard's hardware controls, the knob and onboard settings, as the primary way to configure it.
- Tri-mode connectivity: Bluetooth 5.0, 2.4GHz, USB-C
- LCD screen and multi-function knob for on-board settings
- Full hot-swap PCB for 3-pin or 5-pin switches
- 8000mAh battery rated near 170 hours without backlight
Who it's for
Suits people who want a satisfying-sounding keyboard for typing and casual gaming across multiple devices via Bluetooth, 2.4GHz or USB-C. Less suited to anyone who wants to lean heavily on the desktop software for macros or lighting, since reviewers found it unreliable.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Reviewers consistently praised the sound and feel of the keys, calling the typing experience quiet, cushioned and satisfying, and several liked the LCD screen and knob for quick adjustments. The recurring complaint is the driver software, described as buggy, prone to breaking macros and even flagged by Windows Defender; a couple of buyers also reported hardware issues later on, including sticky keys after two weeks and a partially failed LCD screen after three months.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Gasket structure and padding give a soft, quiet sound
- Knob and LCD handle settings without the software
- Hot-swappable switches accept 3-pin or 5-pin parts
- Connects via Bluetooth, 2.4GHz or USB-C to 5 devices
Performance notes
Five layers of internal padding and a gasket-mounted plate are what produce the muted, rounded key sound several buyers singled out, and the pre-lubricated switches add to that out of the box. The knob and LCD screen handle day-to-day adjustments like volume and lighting mode directly on the keyboard, which matters because the separate driver software drew repeated complaints about bugs and instability.
