If pink is not your pastel, the best soft-colored keyboards right now come in mint, light blue, lilac and cream: the YUNZII B98 PRO (seven colors, including Lilac Purple and Matcha Green), the Epomaker x AULA F75 (Light Blue, Green, Purple and Sea Salt Blue), the YUNZII B75 PRO in Matcha Green, and the retro YUNZII ACTTO B305 in Sweet Mint or Ivory Butter. All four are wireless, and three of the four are mechanical.
A note on the word pastel: it is a look, not a spec, and makers name their colors however they like. Everything below uses the color names printed on the maker’s own product page, and prices are the ones listed there on October 31, 2026. Most are sale prices that change often, so check the current price before you buy.
How to pick a pastel keyboard that is not pink
Most lists collapse pastel into pink because pink sells. The other colors are harder to shop for, because the same board may offer the shade as a case color, a keycap color, or both, and the photos rarely make clear which. Read the color option on the product page, not the hero picture.
Two things decide whether a pastel board will look right on your desk. The first is what is around it. Mint and light blue read as cool and fresh against white and light wood, and they can look cold against black. Cream and lilac are warmer and sit better with a warm desk lamp. The second is the legend printing. Side-printed keycaps, with the letters on the front edge of the key, keep the top of the key clear, which suits pastel colors because there is no dark text fighting the shade.
Keycap material matters a little. Epomaker’s own TH65 page makes the case for PBT: it says PBT keycaps are denser and give a deeper tone on bottom-out than ABS. That is the maker’s claim, not a lab result, but it is a fair reminder that the plastic changes the sound as well as the shine.
Best pastel keyboards in mint, blue and lilac
1. YUNZII B98 PRO: the one with the most colors
The B98 PRO comes in Pink, Beige, Blue, Black, Matcha Green, Coffee Brown and Lilac Purple. It is a 96% board with 100 keys and a numeric pad, plus two interchangeable knobs, a 3D cat head or a round metal one. YUNZII lists QMK and VIA support for remapping keys, tri-mode connection over Bluetooth, 2.4GHz or USB-C for up to 5 devices, an 8000mAh battery and a gasket-mounted case with a five-layer filling. The listed price was $94.99.
It is the pick if you want a soft color and a numpad, and the only one here with a full QMK and VIA remap. It is also the biggest and most expensive on this page.
2. Epomaker x AULA F75: Light Blue, Green and Purple on a budget
The F75 lists a long run of color themes: Black, Light Blue, Green, Pink, Purple, Blue and Sea Salt Blue, among others, with a choice of LEOBOG and TTC switches. It is a 75% board with a multimedia knob, tri-mode wireless and a 4000mAh battery. Epomaker describes a five-layer dampened build to cut typing noise. The price on the listing was $63.99.
If you want the cheapest route to a soft blue or purple on this list, this is it. The catch is that the colors come in different keycap and case combinations, so check the exact option in the drop-down.
3. YUNZII B75 PRO in Matcha Green: the green 75%
Matcha Green is YUNZII’s name for the color. The B75 PRO Green is a 75% keyboard with a knob and 82 keycaps, a gasket mount with five layers of padding, tri-mode connectivity and a 4000mAh battery. YUNZII lists full-key hot-swappable sockets that take 3-pin or 5-pin switches. The listed price was $79.99.
It is a good middle option: smaller than the B98 PRO, more expensive than the F75, and the one with its own green listing.
4. YUNZII ACTTO B305 in Sweet Mint or Ivory Butter: the retro one
The B305 is a membrane keyboard in a retro typewriter style. YUNZII’s page lists Baby Pink, Ivory Butter, Snow White, Sweet Mint and Midnight Navy, a 75% layout with 84 keys, Bluetooth connection, no backlight and no hot-swap. It was listed at $52.99.
It is the only choice here for people who want the soft color without mechanical switches. Ivory Butter and Sweet Mint are the two shades that look most unlike a regular office keyboard.

Pastel keyboard questions
Are pastel keyboards worse to type on than black ones? No. Color is paint and plastic. What changes how a board types is the switch, the case and the mounting, listed on each product page. Some makers change the keycap material by color (Epomaker lists the TH65 as PBT in white, PC in black and PC and ABS in pink), so read the spec table for your color.
Will a pastel keyboard look good with a dark desk? It can, but it will stand out. If you are building a dark setup, the dark aesthetic keyboards are the safer match. For the rest of the desk, the home office setup guide covers lamps, mats and storage.
