MCHOSE Ace 60 Pro
Hall Effect. 8K. Rapid Trigger. Magnetic speed at a mechanical price.
The Ace 60 Pro is the cheapest honest way into Hall Effect. Where a normal mechanical switch fires at one fixed point, MCHOSE's magnetic switches read each keypress as an analog signal — so you set the actuation anywhere from 0.1mm (a feather-light hair-trigger) to 3.4mm, in 0.01mm steps, per key. Pair that with Rapid Trigger, which resets the instant you lift, and you get the counter-strafing precision that's been pulling competitive players off mechanical boards — at a price that usually buys a basic membrane.
It backs the switches with the hardware to use them: 8000Hz polling and 0.1ms latency so the input lands as fast as you do, an aluminium-alloy plate for a solid base, double-shot PBT keycaps in Cherry profile, hot-swap sockets, and per-key RGB. Configuration runs through MCHOSE's browser-based driver — no install, works across operating systems. Snap Tap (SOCD) is on board too, though note that some titles like CS2 restrict it, so check your game's rules before you lean on it.
This is the magnetic, gaming-first half of the 60% lineup. If you'd rather a traditional mechanical feel with arrow keys and a more refined out-of-box build, the Mountain Everest 60 is the other side of the coin. But at this price, nothing here gives you this much Hall Effect for the money.
- Competitive FPS on a budget (Rapid Trigger included)
- Counter-strafing, movement-heavy titles (CS2, Valorant, Apex)
- Players who want per-key adjustable actuation
- ANSI compact setups with maximum mouse space
- First-time Hall Effect buyers
- Anyone needing a numpad, F-row, or dedicated arrow keys
- Wireless or Bluetooth setups (USB wired only)
- Typists who prefer tactile or clicky feedback
- ISO or QWERTZ layout requirements (this SKU is ANSI)
- Titles that ban SOCD / Snap Tap
At around €80, the Ace 60 Pro brings the features that define far pricier boards — 8000Hz polling, Rapid Trigger, per-key adjustable actuation, an aluminium plate and hot-swap sockets — to the accessible end of the catalog. It's a newer brand and not a boutique build, but it's been through independent review and the spec sheet punches well above its price. As the entry point into Hall Effect, and the gaming-first counterpart to the Everest 60, it earns its slot.
