98% tri-mode gasket keyboard

The MCHOSE HW-UT98-1 is a 98% layout mechanical keyboard built with a gasket mount structure and hot-swappable switch sockets. It connects via 2.4 GHz wireless, Bluetooth or a wired USB Type-C cable and runs on a 10000mAh internal battery. The board uses Icy Creamsicle linear switches and includes Poron and IXPE internal foam layers for a muted acoustic profile.

Upgrade from compact or membrane boards

Moving from a 87% or membrane keyboard adds a dedicated function row and numeric keypad without the width of a full-size deck. The jump is worth it when you need the extra keys for data entry or shortcuts but want to keep desk space for mouse movement. The gasket mount and multi-layer foam reduce ping and hollow resonance common in cheaper plastic cases.

Hot-swap sockets and tri-mode pairing

Switches pull out with the included tool so you can change feel without soldering, though the plate is PC material so excessive force can crack the mounting tabs. Pairing the 2.4 GHz dongle or Bluetooth channels sometimes requires the specific key combination printed on the quick-start card; skipping that step is the most common reason the board appears unresponsive on first use.

Questions about this item

What desk space does the 15.82" x 5.8" footprint and 1.67" height require?

The keyboard measures 15.82 inches wide by 5.8 inches deep and stands 1.67 inches tall, so allow that rectangle plus a little clearance for the cable or the 2.4 GHz dongle.

How do I switch between the 2.4 GHz, Bluetooth and USB Type-C modes without locking the wrong layer?

Use the dedicated mode toggle on the case to cycle through 2.4 GHz, Bluetooth and wired USB Type-C; the active connection is shown by the indicator LEDs next to the aluminium knob.

When and how should I replace the Icy Creamsicle switches or the 10000mAh battery?

Switches are hot-swappable — pull them with the included keycap puller and press in new ones; the battery is internal and not user-replaceable, so charge via USB Type-C when runtime drops.
