Product Description

The MCHOSE G98 V3 is a compact 98-key mechanical keyboard designed for users who want a balance between full functionality and desk space savings. It suits typists and professionals who need a near-full layout with arrow keys and a numpad in a smaller footprint. The keyboard is aimed at users comfortable with wired connections and those who value customization in typing feel and key mapping.

Key Features

Compact 98-key layout offers most keys of a full-size board while saving desk space.
Hot-swappable switch sockets allow users to change switches without soldering, enabling easy customization of typing feel and sound.
Supports per-key RGB lighting, letting users personalize backlighting effects and improve key visibility in low light.

Build Quality

Case is made from plastic with a sturdy feel, providing durability without added weight.
Plate-mounted switches contribute to a firmer typing experience compared to PCB-mounted designs.
Standard USB-C wired connection ensures stable and low-latency input.

Typing Experience

Hot-swappable sockets enable users to try different switch types, tailoring sound and key resistance.
Plate mounting generally results in a more solid and tactile typing feel.
Acoustic profile depends on chosen switches and keycaps, offering flexibility but requiring user input for optimization.

Compatibility

Supports Windows, macOS, and Linux with customizable keymapping through open-source firmware.
Layout is ANSI-based with some unique key placements, which may require adjustment for users accustomed to standard full-size keyboards.

Trade-offs

Lacks wireless connectivity, limiting use to wired environments.
Plastic case may feel less premium compared to metal alternatives.
Some users may find the 98-key layout less familiar than standard full-size or tenkeyless boards.
