Pros and Trade-offs

If you prioritize a compact, high-performance gaming tool with lightning-fast features like Rapid Trigger and Snap Tap, the MCHOSE Jet HE is the better choice. However, if you want a more feature-rich TKL board with a volume knob, superior dampening, and a dust cover for everyday use and content creation, the MCHOSE Mix 87 HE offers a more versatile package. Your layout size preference and need for extra features will decide the winner.

MCHOSE Jet HE

+Compact 75% layout saves desk space for gamers with limited room
+0.1ms ultra-low latency and Adaptive Dynamic Calibration for consistent input
+Supports Rapid Trigger and Snap Tap for advanced FPS movement
+Higher performance score (93.4) relative to its price tier

−Plastic build with lower build quality score (40.9) compared to the Mix 87 HE

MCHOSE Mix 87 HE
