The MCHOSE G87 is a mechanical gaming keyboard in a tenkeyless (80%) layout with a standard profile and gasket mount construction, measuring 361.4 mm wide, 143.5 mm tall, and 42.7 mm thick at a weight of 1680 g. It supports three connection modes — Bluetooth, 2.4GHz wireless, and USB — with a 1000 Hz polling rate and an exceptional 500-hour battery life. The keyboard includes a detachable cable, is designed with Mac compatibility in mind, and comes with a one-year warranty.
The G87 features an aluminum case available in four colorways — black, white, pink, and blue — giving it a solid, durable build with some variety in aesthetic choice. It includes per-key RGB backlighting and adjustable feet for typing angle customization, though no wrist rest is included in the package.
The G87 is equipped with hall effect Speed Gold Switch V2 linear switches, which are hot-swappable for easy replacement without soldering. The actuation distance is adjustable between 0.1 mm and 3.4 mm, with a total travel distance of 3.5 mm and an actuation force of 39 g, making for a light, responsive keystroke throughout the full range of motion.
The G87 supports rapid trigger and full N-key rollover (NKRO), ensuring precise and simultaneous key registration during fast input. It is compatible with both QMK and VIA, offering broad options for keymap customization and remapping. The keyboard does not include analog input, dual actuation, adjustable actuation, USB passthrough, or an onboard display.
The G87 uses a standard ANSI (United States) layout with PBT double-shot keycaps in a Cherry profile, offering a familiar key arrangement that accepts standard keycap replacements. Media functions are accessible via the Fn key rather than dedicated keys, and the keyboard also includes a rotary dial for additional input control.
