Following a successful first collaboration in August 2024, innovative peripheral brand MCHOSE and global tech review powerhouse Unbox Therapy (UT) are proud to announce the launch of their first co-branded keyboard, the UT98 Mechanical Keyboard, debuting on Kickstarter on July 17, 2025. The partnership began when Lewis received a sample of the MCHOSE GX87 keyboard last August. Impressed by its soft, bouncy typing experience, he featured it in a review video. The response was overwhelming—over 5 million views across platforms and widespread user praise.

Among the praise, some viewers also highlighted a key improvement area: the audible keystroke sound of the GX87 could be distracting in quieter environments like offices, libraries, or shared workspaces. In response, MCHOSE and UT set out to create a new keyboard that would retain the GX87's tactile excellence—but make it quieter.

Ducky Channel at Computex 2025 showed us their most silent mechanical keyboard and keyswitch. There is a growing trend among keyboard and keyswitch manufacturers to make their keyboards quieter and more comfortable to use without compromising on their tactile properties, and we see these as the general theme with Ducky. The new Cushion 98 is, as its name suggests, a compact 98-keyset keyboard. It offers a cushioned design for dampened typing. The keyboard implements Ducky's in-house Shush series switches that offer low actuation noise without coming in the way of other tactile properties. It's also designed for easy keycap replacement, as well as replacement of the cushioning layers. The electronics of this keyboard support 2 kHz USB polling rate, and both wireless modes—Bluetooth (for convenience and security), and RF (for lower latency while being wireless).
