MCHOSE and Unbox Therapy Unveil Innovative UT98 Silent Mechanical Keyboard

HONG KONG, June 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- MCHOSE, an innovative peripheral brand, and Unbox Therapy, a leading global tech review platform, have announced the launch of their first co-branded product, the UT98 Mechanical Keyboard. This collaboration follows a successful partnership initiated in August 2024 when Unbox Therapy's Lewis Hilsenteger reviewed the MCHOSE GX87 keyboard, garnering over five million views and significant user feedback regarding the need for quieter operation in office settings.

The UT98 Mechanical Keyboard is set to debut on Kickstarter on July 17, 2025, giving early backers an opportunity to secure exclusive perks. The development of the UT98 was driven by feedback from viewers who praised the tactile experience of the GX87 keyboard but noted that the audible keystroke sounds could be distracting in quieter environments such as libraries and shared workspaces. In response to this feedback, MCHOSE and UT co-developed a new keyboard that maintains the tactile satisfaction while minimizing sound.

The UT98 will feature two switch options catering to different user preferences. The Silent Peach V3 Switch is designed for ultra-quiet operation, making it ideal for professional environments, while the Icy Creamsicle Switch offers a buttery smooth typing experience, a popular choice from MCHOSE’s existing lineup. The keyboard will also include premium features such as Gasket Mount, Hot-Swappable Switches, and N-Key Rollover, alongside an aluminum knob for audio control and a one-click calculator key for efficiency.

Visually, the UT98 pays homage to the Unbox Therapy brand. It incorporates keycap legends mirroring the Unbox Therapy logo, resulting in a cohesive aesthetic. Customers can choose between two colorways: Classic Therapy, which reflects a modern minimalism with its black-and-white scheme, and Retro Therapy, which prominently showcases Unbox Therapy's signature orange.

To enhance the overall experience, MCHOSE has created a matching co-branded wrist rest and mouse pad, both featuring distinctive Unbox Therapy design elements. This partnership highlights the commitment of both brands to fuse functionality with creativity in their products.

The upcoming Kickstarter campaign is designed to engage early adopters, offering an exclusive chance for users to reserve their keyboards at a discounted rate. The pre-launch page is available at [MCHOSE Store](https://www.mchose.store/pages/keyboard-ut98).
