The MCHOSE Ace 60 Pro is a wired gaming keyboard that uses magnetic switches. Its web-based software allows you to adjust the actuation point, reset the distance of individual keys as well as program custom profiles, and adjust RGB backlighting and other performance settings. It also supports more advanced actuation features, like Rapid Trigger, SOCD, and DKS, that can provide measurable advantages over more conventional mechanical keyboards in some gaming scenarios. For more details about these settings, see the Configuration Software section.
Our Verdict
The MCHOSE Ace 60 Pro is a superb gaming keyboard with outstanding raw performance suitable for competitive play in all genres. It also has great build quality with a solid plastic bottom case, aluminum plate, and pre-lubed stabilizers and switches. Its software has a robust set of expected features and supports more advanced actuation features like Rapid Trigger, SOCD, and DKS, which can give you small but helpful advantages, particularly with movement tech in FPS titles.
Outstanding raw performance.
Impressive build quality.
Supports a maximum polling rate of 8,000Hz.
RGB backlighting with shine-through keycaps.
While primarily designed as a gaming keyboard, the MCHOSE Ace 60 Pro is okay for office use. It feels very solid with a thick plastic bottom case and a sturdy aluminum plate. The pre-lubed switches and stabilizers, along with layers of dampening material, help soften impact and round out the sound profile, providing a great typing quality out of the box. That said, its typing noise is fairly loud, so it isn't suitable for noise-sensitive environments. Its compact 60% form factor is also missing a numpad, arrow keys, and function row, which can be limiting depending on your workflow.
Impressive build quality.
Wired-only
Somewhat loud typing noise.
The MCHOSE Ace 60 Pro is a wired-only keyboard that isn't suitable for use with mobile devices or tablets.
The MCHOSE Ace 60 Pro is satisfactory for programming. It has great overall build quality with a solid plastic bottom case, aluminum plate, and pre-lubed switches and stabilizers. It also has full backlighting with shine-through legends that are easy to read in darker conditions, and it has robust web-based software for remapping, programming profiles, or recording macros. That said, its compact 60% form factor won't suit all workflows as it's missing a numpad, function row, and arrow keys, and it's somewhat loud, which may be irritating for some.

The MCHOSE Ace 60 Pro isn't designed for use in an entertainment or home theater setup. It's a wired-only model, so you'll need to sit close to your computer to use it. It also lacks dedicated media keys, though it does have RGB backlighting and shine-through keycaps so you can read legends in the dark.

The MCHOSE Ace 60 Pro has outstanding raw performance. It offers remarkably low and consistent single-key and multi-key latency performance. It also has superb adjustable actuation with very small deadzones, allowing for extremely quick and accurate initial and follow-up inputs, ideal for competitive gaming in all genres. While it doesn't support true analog output, that's only a limitation if you need joystick-style control for genres like flight sims or platformers. MCHOSE advertises a 128,000Hz scan rate, which we can't verify, but we have confirmed that the keyboard fully utilizes its 8,000Hz polling rate without any latency-related bottlenecks.
Supports a maximum polling rate of 8,000Hz.
Remarkably low single-key and multi-key latency performance.
Excellent input granularity.

MCHOSE sells a standard (non-pro) version of this keyboard named the MCHOSE Ace 60. It looks the same but has some major internal differences, including a different chipset, lower polling rate, lower scan rate, and marginally different rapid trigger range and advertised actuation accuracy. Our review doesn't apply to the standard version.
MCHOSE also sells a related keyboard called the MCHOSE Ace 68 Pro. While it shares very similar technical specifications to the MCHOSE Ace 60 Pro, it has a slightly larger 65% layout with dedicated arrow keys. It also has south-facing RGB backlighting and a marginally different rapid trigger range and advertised actuation accuracy. We expect the performance of both keyboards to be roughly similar, but our review isn't completely applicable to the Ace 68 Pro.
Popular Keyboard Comparisons
The MCHOSE Ace 60 Pro is a wired, high-performance gaming keyboard with magnetic switches. At its price point, this keyboard offers shockingly competitive gaming performance that essentially matches several more expensive flagship gaming keyboards, like the Razer Huntsman V3 Pro, the Wooting 60HE, and the Wooting 80HE. It competes most directly with the MonsGeek FUN60 Ultra, which usually costs a bit more but adds wireless connectivity, a more premium-feeling solid aluminum case, and optional TMR sensors that support both magnetic and standard mechanical switches.
While its software is good overall, it falls slightly short of Wooting's, which is widely considered to be the best on the market for its feature set, update cadence, and long-term support. It's also worth noting that lower mid-range options like the MCHOSE and MonsGeek come with only a one-year warranty, compared to Razer's two years and Wooting's four. Altogether, the Ace 60 Pro is an excellent budget pick for competitive gamers, especially if you don't care about wireless support or lengthy warranties and just want strong core performance.

Both the MCHOSE Ace 60 Pro and the Wooting 60HE are compact gaming keyboards with exceptionally raw performance, well-suited for competitive gaming. The MCHOSE has marginally lower latency performance and supports a higher polling rate of 8000Hz. On the other hand, the Wooting supports analog input, which can allow you to use gradual joystick-like control for flight sims or driving games. Both keyboards also have robust web-based software, but the Wooting also has an offline, downloadable client, which the MCHOSE lacks.
The Wooting 80HE and the MCHOSE Ace 60 Pro are high-performance gaming keyboards equipped with magnetic switches. The Wooting stands out for its support of true analog input, enabling gradual, joystick-like control in games like platformers or driving sims. Both keyboards offer web-based software with advanced features such as Rapid Trigger and SOCD, but only the Wooting includes an offline version, something the MCHOSE lacks.
The MCHOSE Ace 60 Pro and the MonsGeek FUN60 Ultra are high-performance gaming keyboards designed for competitive play. The MCHOSE is a wired-only model with a plastic case, while the MonsGeek is available in both wired and wireless configurations and features a more premium-feeling aluminum case. The MonsGeek is also available in a TMR sensor configuration, letting you hot-swap between magnetic and mechanical switches, whereas the MCHOSE is only compatible with magnetic switches.
The MCHOSE Ace 60 Pro and the Akko MOD007-HE PC are wired gaming keyboards that use magnetic switches. Both also have software support for advanced actuation features like Rapid Trigger, DKS, and SOCD. The major difference between them is that the MCHOSE performs much better overall and is the better choice for competitive gaming in any genre. In contrast, the Akko has a slightly larger 75% form factor with a set of dedicated arrow keys, a function row, and several navigation keys, so it's a better all-around pick for gaming and productivity. It also has more expensive keycap theme colorways as well as a control knob, a feature the MCHOSE lacks.
