This limited-edition keyboard blends premium build quality with practical functionality, making it ideal for enthusiasts, professionals, and creators who demand both performance and aesthetics. The collaboration focuses on delivering a keyboard that not only looks distinctive but also enhances everyday productivity with carefully designed features and refined typing acoustics.
Premium Gasket Mount Construction
The UT98 features a gasket mount structure that significantly improves typing comfort and sound quality. This design suspends the keyboard plate within the case using flexible gasket materials, which helps absorb shock and reduce vibrations during typing. Combined with multiple layers of internal dampening materials such as Poron foam, IXPE foam, PET film, and silicone pads, the keyboard produces a smoother and quieter keystroke. The result is a stable and refined typing experience that minimizes finger fatigue and delivers consistent feedback with every key press.
Customizable Hot-Swappable Switch System
One of the standout features of the UT98 is its hot-swappable switch support, allowing users to change switches easily without soldering. This flexibility makes it perfect for users who want to personalize their typing experience. The keyboard offers two premium switch options: Silent Peach V3 Switches, which provide an ultra-quiet linear typing experience ideal for shared workspaces, and Icy Creamsicle Switches, which deliver a smooth and satisfying tactile feel. This customization ensures that users can choose the typing feedback and sound profile that best suits their preferences.
Massive 10,000mAh Battery for Long Wireless Use
Equipped with an impressive 10,000mAh battery, the UT98 is designed for extended wireless performance. This large battery capacity allows the keyboard to operate for weeks on a single charge, reducing the need for frequent charging interruptions. Whether you are working, studying, or gaming, the extended battery life ensures consistent performance throughout long sessions. This makes the keyboard particularly convenient for users who rely on wireless setups and want dependable battery endurance.
Versatile Tri-Mode Connectivity
The keyboard offers tri-mode connectivity, giving users multiple ways to connect depending on their setup. It supports Bluetooth 5.0 for convenient wireless pairing with laptops and mobile devices, 2.4GHz wireless via a dongle for ultra-low latency performance, and a USB-C wired connection for stable, zero-lag operation. This versatility allows seamless switching between different devices such as PCs, MacBooks, tablets, and more. It also ensures reliable connectivity whether you prioritize mobility, gaming responsiveness, or a traditional wired experience.
Premium Aluminum Knob and Smart Productivity Features
The UT98 includes a high-quality aluminum control knob that enhances both functionality and visual appeal. This knob allows users to quickly adjust settings such as volume, brightness, or media controls with simple rotations and presses. In addition, the keyboard integrates thoughtful productivity features like one-click calculator access, making it easier to perform quick calculations during work or study. These smart additions simplify everyday tasks and improve workflow efficiency without requiring additional software or shortcuts.
Vibrant RGB Lighting and Cross-Platform Compatibility
To complement its premium build, the UT98 features 16.8 million customizable RGB lighting effects, allowing users to personalize the look of their setup. Through the MCHOSE HUB software, users can modify lighting patterns, remap keys, create macros, and save custom configurations using onboard memory.
