MCHOSE, a highly recommended peripheral brand known among keyboard enthusiasts in China for its premium, high-performance products, unique style, and competitive pricing, is making its debut in the international market. Their first full CNC aluminium custom mechanical keyboard, the GX87, will debut on Indiegogo starting at $59 beginning August 6th. As the world's first mass-produced full aluminium quick disassembly TKL (Tenkeyless) custom mechanical keyboard, the GX87 is poised to drive a revolutionary shift in the pricing of the high-end mechanical keyboard market.

The MCHOSE GX87 stands out as the first-ever CNC aluminium prebuilt quick disassembly TKL mechanical keyboard. As a pioneering brand in the mass production of full aluminium custom mechanical keyboards, MCHOSE has partnered with top-tier supply chain resources in China to bring forth practical and cost-effective keyboard solutions. The introductory pricing of the GX87 sets a remarkably competitive stance against other brands, truly reflecting a sincere approach to enthusiasts worldwide.




The GX87 design incorporates extensive suggestions from MCHOSE's dedicated fans. One of the standout features is its quick-release function, allowing users to dismantle the top frame without screws in seconds. This innovative feature, combined with a full CNC aluminium body with 180 mesh surfacing, hot-swappable switches, and advanced QMK/VIA support for extensive customization, makes the MCHOSE GX87 ideal for tech enthusiasts.

This new launch comprises three versions: Lite, Max, and Ultra, catering to diverse user needs. The key distinctions among the versions lie in the switches, structures, and surface treatment processes, resulting in varying price points. This variety enables users to select the configuration that aligns best with their preferences.

In celebration of the GX87 launch, MCHOSE is also releasing six exclusive keycap sets themed around the Chinese zodiac Year of the Lonng: Joy Dargon, Courage Dargon, Wisdom Dargon, Wealth Dargon, Harmony Dargon, and Vitality Dargon, each symbolizing auspicious blessings. Early backers on Indiegogo will have the chance to receive a complimentary random keycap blind box valued at $29 with their order. Among these, the super lucky ones might even secure the rare $99 Joy Dargon keycap box, limited to just 99 units globally.

Price & Availability: The MCHOSE GX87 will open for pre-orders on Indiegogo from August 6th onwards. Early backers will have the chance to access exclusive offers and be among the first to experience the GX87.

Well, it looks nice, but I'm just wondering what corners they cut to get to that price point, given that a full CNC Aluminum frame, which, if produced in the west, would cost more than this whole keeb....

But apparently, their $300/yr uber-cheapo labor helps with that :(

Also, is the spyware, rootkits, stoke loggers included, or do they cost extra, hahahaha :D

I want a set of CNC milled keycaps...yes, each keycap will literally be milled from a solid block of material....yes, they would be expensive, but we're talking about a subset of consumers willing to pay $100+ for a set of objectively ugly, dyed plastic keycaps (some of the color combos are staggering) or $600+ for an Angry Miao

I would personally love a set of "Timascus" caps:

I'm assuming the 'starting at' price point is just the frame and a prebuilt will be in the 100-150$ range. I can't be arsed to go down that rabbit hole of websites to find out though.

Barebone cost is the $59, I assume. With switches & keycaps it would probably come to around $100, which is the price of the pre-built Chilkey ND75 that uses the same Quick assembly system as this keyboard.

Eh, any keyboard is "quick disassembly" if you hit it hard enough. Not a selling feature.

The best part would be that each order of those would come with an LSD tablet so you can admire the keycaps in the proper way :D :laugh:

Do you even know what QMK/VIA is? You can even make your own firmware...

Yes I am aware of both, but what's that got to do with the garbaggio that's probably baked into the pcb's ?

Are you saying that by using QMK/VIA or my own firmware, I can eliminate/delete the crapwarez.....if so, maybe I'll buy one & try it :D

Go for it. It's a cheap alternative and seems pretty decent, especially for the price.
