MCHOSE Reviews: Which MCHOSE Hall Effect Keyboard Is Worth It? HLPLANET Tests the Jet 75, Ace 68 GT and ACE 75
MCHOSE is a keyboard brand that builds Hall Effect boards on its own in-house platform with custom sensors. As of October 2026, HLPLANET (hlplanet.com) has reviewed three MCHOSE keyboards: the Jet 75, Ace 68 GT and ACE 75. The overall picture: class-leading speed and software at every price, but every reviewed model is wired only.
What does MCHOSE make?
MCHOSE makes magnetic-switch gaming keyboards with Rapid Trigger, from very cheap compact boards to premium aluminium models. HLPLANET's editor-in-chief Marcus Richardson calls it a go-to brand for Hall Effect keyboards.
The three full reviews cover:
- Jet 75: a budget 75% board with Kailh Magnetic God or Starburst switches.
- Ace 68 GT: a premium 65% board with an aluminium or coated shell and Mount Tai HE GT switches.
- ACE 75: a 75% board with Berserker or Royal Steed magnetic switches and a side volume knob.
All three use MCHOSE's web-based Hub software, adjustable actuation, SOCD and DKS advanced keys, and very high polling rates.
MCHOSE Jet 75 review: the best budget Hall Effect keyboard?
It is one of them. The MCHOSE Jet 75 review carries an Editor's Choice badge and calls it fast, responsive and feature-packed for competitive gaming.
- Price: $59 at review time, with a later edit noting a rise to $79; HLPLANET still recommends it at that price.
- Specs: actuation from 0.1 to 3.4 mm, Rapid Trigger from 0.01 mm, 8 kHz polling and latency listed under 1 ms.
- Build: aluminium alloy plate, gasket mount, silicone dampening and PBT keycaps.
- Pros: adjustable actuation, low latency, solid build, a full set of advanced keys and outstanding value.
- Cons: wired only, and north-facing RGB can limit keycap compatibility.
- Suits: FPS and competitive players on a budget who do not need wireless.
MCHOSE Ace 68 GT review: is the premium model worth $149?
For buyers who want a premium feel, yes. The MCHOSE Ace 68 GT review scores it 9 out of 10, the highest MCHOSE score on HLPLANET, and calls it a well-executed premium 65% board.
- Price: $149 on the official MCHOSE store; the review notes the code HLPLANET for an extra 3% off.
- Switches: Mount Tai Pink HE GT, a closed-bottom magnetic switch with a muted, thocky sound.
- Specs: 16,000 Hz polling over USB 3.0, a 256,000 Hz scan rate and Rapid Trigger down to 0.001 mm.
- Build: anodised aluminium (Black Gold) or polymer-coated shells, a carbon fibre plate and six layers of dampening; HLPLANET measured 1,462 g.
- Positives: build quality, good acoustics for an aluminium case and solid software.
- Negatives: heavy, wired only, a single switch option, and measured latency that did not show the expected 16K advantage.
- Suits: players who want a premium 65% Hall Effect board with good sound.
MCHOSE ACE 75 review: fast but too plasticky?
That is HLPLANET's summary. The MCHOSE ACE 75 review, published in October 2026, finds a solid board with strong gaming performance that does not stand out at $139.
- Price: $139, after $109 during its Kickstarter campaign.
- Specs: 8000 Hz polling, a 256K scan rate, actuation from 0.1 mm and Rapid Trigger adjustable in 0.001 mm steps.
- Pros: a great side volume knob, a dedicated RT button that cycles three onboard setups, the Horizon RGB light bar, feature-rich software, well-tuned stabilisers and spare switches in the box.
- Cons: a plastic build at $139, a loud and slightly hollow sound, some stem wobble on the Royal Steed switches, and accidental presses at the lowest Rapid Trigger values.
- Verdict: easy to recommend at the Kickstarter price; at full price HLPLANET points to the Jet 75 for value and the Ace 68 GT as the better premium option.
Which MCHOSE keyboard should you buy?
HLPLANET's reviews give clear picks:
- Best value: Jet 75.
- Best build, sound and overall score: Ace 68 GT.
- Volume knob and Horizon RGB: ACE 75, ideally on a discount.
- Cheapest compact option: Ace 60, which HLPLANET's Hall Effect keyboard guide names as a budget 60% pick.
The list of Rapid Trigger keyboards also names the non-GT MCHOSE Ace 68 as a best-latency pick at 0.3 ms. These hub listings are short entries, not full reviews.
Key takeaways
- HLPLANET has fully reviewed three MCHOSE keyboards; the Ace 68 GT scores 9 out of 10 and the Jet 75 has an Editor's Choice badge.
- Performance is the brand's strength: 8K or 16K polling, 256K scanning and Rapid Trigger down to 0.001 mm on the Ace models.
- M Hub software runs in a browser and is praised for depth and exact value entry.
- Every reviewed model is wired only, and the plastic ACE 75 is judged poor value at full price.
