MCHOSE K87 V3: Tri-Mode Wireless TKL Mechanical Keyboard, Dual 8K

All-in-one, tenkeyless

The K87 V3 is MCHOSE's answer to the question of how much keyboard you can get without building one yourself. It is an 87-key TKL that arrives finished: gasket mount, six layers of sound dampening, double-shot PBT keycaps, factory-lubed switches, a multifunction knob, a 10000 mAh battery and dual 8K wireless, in a run of colourways that go from plain white and black to two-tone blues, greens and a peach gradient. Nothing to assemble, nothing to upgrade on day one.

An anodised aluminium plate across the back of the case gives the plastic shell a cool, solid edge where your fingers rest, and a 360-degree ARGB strip runs around the rim so the whole board glows on the desk rather than just the keys.

Built quiet

Gasket mount

The horizontally slotted PC plate floats on gaskets, so the plate flexes under your fingers rather than sitting rigid on the case. The 1.2 mm PCB is slotted around every key for the same reason.

Six layers of filling

Sandwich foam between plate and PCB, a pad under the switches, acoustic foam, switch-seat foam, a PET sheet and a silicone base pad. Every cavity that could echo has something soft in it, which is why the K87 V3 sounds deep rather than hollow.

Switches to suit the colour

Most colourways ship with Icy Creamsicle linears, light and smooth with a rounded sound. The Clear Sky Blue and Star Core White boards come with Cloud White linears. Two spares are in the box, and every socket is hot-swap.

Dual 8K on Starry Sky 2.0

Over the cable and the 2.4 GHz receiver the K87 V3 polls at 8000 Hz, which MCHOSE quotes as 0.125 ms of latency, running on its own Starry Sky Solution 2.0 controller and TopSpeed 2.0 wireless stack. Bluetooth is the third mode for a laptop or tablet. The 10000 mAh battery is sized so the high polling rate and the lighting do not cost you the week between charges.

The MHUB software, web or desktop, handles remapping and the gaming key functions: SOCD for clean A and D switching, plus MT, TGL and CB modes for keys that behave differently on tap, hold or toggle. Lighting runs through Music Rhythm 2.0 and custom GIF effects, and syncs with other MCHOSE gear.

Keycaps that stay put

The caps are double-shot PBT, so the legends are moulded through the plastic and cannot wear off, and the matte surface stays matte where your fingers land. Most colourways use the MDA profile, a low, gently sculpted shape with wide, flat tops that feels soft and uniform under the hand. The Mist Peach Gradient board uses Cherry profile instead, the lower, more sculpted classic.

Q&A & Specifications

Questions & Answers

What is different between the switch options?

Both are light, pre-lubed linears. Icy Creamsicle has a smooth, rounded sound; Cloud White is a touch crisper. The switch is tied to the colourway, but the board is hot-swap if you want to change later.

Does 8K work over Bluetooth?

No. 8000 Hz is for wired and 2.4 GHz. Bluetooth is for everyday use on a laptop or tablet.

Does it work with a Mac?

Yes. Windows and macOS are both supported across all three modes.

MDA or Cherry profile?

MDA is flatter and more uniform, easy to move across; Cherry is lower and more sculpted row to row. Most colourways are MDA; Mist Peach Gradient is Cherry.
