Gaming keyboards just got a serious upgrade, and the MCHOSE Ace 68 Air is leading the charge. Priced at a wallet-friendly $69 during its pre-order phase (regularly $79), this magnetic gaming keyboard is making waves before it even hits shelves. Mark your calendars because pre-orders are live now, starting April 12 at 9:00 AM EDT and running until April 21 at 11:59 PM EDT. Shipping kicks off on April 22, so you won’t have to wait long to get your hands on this sleek piece of tech.
What makes the Ace 68 Air stand out? For starters, it’s packing some serious firepower under the hood. With an insane 8K polling rate and a 128K scan rate, it delivers a jaw-dropping 0.1ms latency. That’s faster than you can blink, folks. Gamers who live for split-second decisions will love how smooth and responsive every keystroke feels, especially in fast-paced games where timing is everything. And let’s not forget the Kailh Magnetic Switches, which bring precision down to an almost unbelievable 0.01mm across the entire key travel.
What will you get?
At the heart of this keyboard lies some serious tech wizardry. The MCHOSE Ace 68 Air boasts an 8K polling rate and a jaw-dropping 128K scan rate, which translates to an ultra-low latency of just 0.1ms. Gamers know how critical timing is in fast-paced games, and this keyboard doesn’t leave anything to chance. It uses a custom high-frequency esports-grade chip and Hall Effect sensors to deliver consistent performance without lag or hiccups.
What really sets the Ace 68 Air apart is its magnetic switch technology. These aren’t your average switches—they’re Kailh Magnetic Switches, designed for instant actuation and long-lasting durability. The keyboard captures every movement with pinpoint accuracy down to 0.01mm across the entire key travel. No matter how soft or firm your press, the Ace 68 Air registers it flawlessly. And thanks to the upgraded Magnetic Switch Algorithm 2.0, signal processing is faster and more stable without needing any hardware changes.
Comfort and stability are also top priorities here. The MCHOSE Ace 68 Air features an aluminum alloy mounting plate combined with a five-layer HiFi cushioning structure. This design keeps the keyboard sturdy while providing a plush typing experience. Each keystroke feels satisfyingly precise, and the added cushioning reduces fatigue during marathon gaming sessions. Cleaning is easier too, thanks to the floating keycap design.
RGB lighting has become a staple in gaming gear, but the Ace 68 Air takes it up a notch with its Air Dynamic RGB Lightbox. There are four vibrant lighting modes to choose from, along with eight audio-reactive options that sync with your music. The north-facing RGB LEDs add depth to the effect, creating a glowing ambiance that’s hard to ignore.
Customization is where this keyboard truly shines. Gamers can adjust the actuation point from 0.1mm to 3.4mm in tiny 0.01mm increments. Want quicker triggers for FPS games? Done. Prefer deeper presses for strategy titles? Easy. The Rapid Trigger feature eliminates delays caused by fixed actuation points, ensuring near-instant activation and deactivation. And then there’s Snap Tap, a clever little addition that prioritizes the most recent input between two keys. In FPS games, this means smoother directional changes without interrupting movement.
Onboard memory adds another layer of convenience. Once you’ve dialed in your perfect settings using the self-developed M HUB (available as both a web and app driver), everything gets saved directly onto the keyboard. Take it anywhere, plug it in, and pick up right where you left off—no software needed. Advanced features like SOCD, RS, DKS, MT, and TGL let users fine-tune their gameplay further, offering unparalleled control over every aspect of their setup.
The MCHOSE Ace 68 Air comes in two stunning colorways: Snow White and Peach Gradient. Both options exude a modern aesthetic that complements any gaming rig. At just 777 grams, it’s lightweight enough to carry around yet built tough with premium materials. Inside, layers of silicone, Poron foam, PET film, cotton, and gaskets work together to dampen noise and enhance feedback. Even the included accessories, like the Type-C cable, keycap/switch puller, spare switches, and dust cover, show attention to detail.
