The MCHOSE Ace 60 Pro operates using web-based software that can be accessed through Chromium-based browsers. Unfortunately, there’s no option for a downloadable offline version. The software is somewhat intricate, which might be overwhelming for newcomers, but it organizes features clearly across several tabs.
The trigger tab allows you to adjust the actuation settings and lets you choose the switches for calibration.
The performance tab includes various settings such as polling rate adjustments, compatibility mode for macOS, and a Windows key lock. It also offers “stability mode,” which optimizes key repeats for multiple presses, dynamic calibration that automatically adjusts keys in the background, and “berserk mode,” which enables a 0.01 mm Rapid Trigger setting.
Besides these performance options and basic actuation settings, the keyboard includes several advanced features found under the advanced key tab:
Rapid Trigger: This feature dynamically adjusts the actuation and reset points of your switches based on distance, rather than setting them at a fixed point on the keystroke. This allows for quicker follow-up inputs, particularly useful in situations like counter-strafing in FPS games.
Rappy Snappy: This feature tracks a pair of keys and activates the one you press down harder.
SOCD: This monitors a pair of keys to trigger actions based on customized parameters. By default, only the last activated key registers input, with additional options:
- Last Input Priority: The last pressed key takes precedence over the prior one.
- Priority (key 1): The first specified key always has priority over the second.
- Priority (key 2): The second specified key has priority over the first.
- Cancel Mode: If both monitored keys are pressed, neither will activate.
Note: SOCD usage may not be permitted in certain competitive online games, such as Counter-Strike 2.
DKS (Dynamic Keystroke): This feature enables you to map up to four different actions to one key, based on actuation distance.
Hold/Tap (MT): This assigns two functions to a key: one for holding it down, and another for a quick tap.
Toggle Key: This allows you to configure a key to function as a toggle switch for continuous input. Pressing the key toggles this feature on or off.
