G98 PRO Wireless Mechanical Keyboard - Low-Latency RGB Performance

In this review of the G98 PRO Wireless Mechanical Keyboard the bottom line is simple: this compact 96% layout is aimed at gamers and heavy typists who want a responsive, customizable board with a premium typing feel. The single biggest reason to buy is the ultra-low 1ms response enabled by MCHOSE TOPSPEED wireless technology, which delivers noticeably faster and more stable inputs in competitive play. The keyboard also stands out for its hot-swappable switches, creamy gasket-mounted typing feel, and durable double-shot PBT keycaps.

Key Features

• Ultra-low latency: MCHOSE TOPSPEED wireless tech reduces latency by about 60% to an ultra-low 1ms response for more reliable inputs during fast-paced gaming.
• Hot-swappable switches: Hot swap PCB sockets accept both 3pin and 5pin switches so users can change switch type without soldering to tune feel and sound.
• Gasket structure: A five-layer gasket design improves sound dampening and shock absorption for a consistent, creamy typing sound.
• Tri-mode connectivity: Bluetooth 5, 2.4GHz wireless and USB let you pair up to three devices and switch between them quickly for work and play.
• Long battery life: The built-in 8000mAh battery supports very long runtime, reducing downtime between charges for extended use.
• Durable keycaps and lighting: Double-shot PBT keycaps resist shine and wear while per-key RGB with MCHOSE HUB offers extensive lighting control.

Who It's For

The G98 PRO suits competitive and casual gamers who need a compact keyboard with a fast, near-instant wireless response and the option to fine tune switch feel. Content creators and programmers who prefer a solid gasket-mounted typing experience and durable double-shot PBT keycaps will also appreciate this board.

Those who want a full-size numpad, ultra-slim low-profile keys, or a keyboard strictly for mobile phone-only use may want to look elsewhere. If you never plan to swap switches or customize lighting, some advanced features of this keyboard may be more than you need.
