The Idea

  • Concept: The core concept behind the UT98 is a direct response to a common dilemma in the mechanical keyboard community: how to achieve the satisfying feel and customization of mechanical switches without the accompanying noise, especially in shared or quiet environments. MCHOSE and Unbox Therapy aimed to create a keyboard that prioritizes silent operation and ergonomic comfort for prolonged periods of focused work and creativity.

  • Inspiration: Building on the success and feedback from their previous collaboration (the GX87), MCHOSE and Unbox Therapy were inspired to push the boundaries of quiet mechanical keyboard technology. Their shared vision was to engineer a keyboard that allows users to fully concentrate, whether in a bustling office or a peaceful home study, by meticulously dampening sound without compromising the premium typing experience. The UT98 represents their commitment to innovation, user comfort, and thoughtful design in the mechanical keyboard space.
