MCHOSE UT98 vs Neo Neo98Silent Switches or Aluminum

MCHOSE explicitly describes the UT98 as a silent keyboard and offers the Silent Peach V3 switch option. The Neo98 listing mentions sound-dampening components, but does not describe it as a silent keyboard.

The UT98 is listed with a 10,000mAh battery. The Neo98 vendor description lists two 2,200mAh batteries, while its product metadata lists an 8,000mAh battery.

The MK vendor listing describes the Neo98 as a barebones item and says switches, keycaps, and the plate are not included. The product metadata also labels it pre-built, so check the exact version and included parts with the seller.

Both are listed with Bluetooth, 2.4 GHz, and wired connectivity. The UT98 vendor describes its modes as Type-C, 2.4 GHz, and wireless.

The UT98 is the more clearly office-focused option because MCHOSE describes it as a silent keyboard and offers Silent Peach V3 switches. The vendor also lists instant meeting mute and one-click calculator access.

The Neo98 vendor lists poron gasket, silicone gasket, and top-mount assembly options. Its description also says the poron gaskets use a grooved structure, making them easier to remove or replace.

Both keyboards are listed as hot-swappable. The Neo98 kit listing says DIY assembly is required, while the UT98 is listed as pre-built.

MCHOSE says its HUB can remap keys, create macros, and adjust lighting, and that custom settings can be saved in onboard memory. The vendor also describes the UT98's knob as providing volume control.

The product metadata lists south-facing RGB for the Neo98. A vendor characteristics section describes a version with no backlighting, so check the specific configuration before purchase.

Both keyboards have south-facing LEDs, and the compatibility notes say shine-through legends stay dark. The same notes warn that some sculpted keycaps can clip the LEDs.

The Neo98 vendor description lists three assembly styles and says its poron gaskets are easier to remove or replace. It also lists plates, PCBs, and an accessory pack as separately available parts.

The Neo98 kit listing includes a keyboard carrying case and pouch among its listed gifts. The UT98 vendor package list includes a dust cover, but does not list a carrying case.
