Ace 68 / Ace 68 Air M HUB Driver Guide: Setup, Firmware, Lighting & Onboard Profiles

This guide explains how to connect your MCHOSE Ace 68 or Ace 68 Air keyboard to M HUB, configure keyboard settings, customize magnetic switch features, manage onboard profiles, update firmware, personalize RGB lighting, and use the built-in key testing tool.

What Is M HUB?

M HUB is the official MCHOSE driver platform for supported keyboards and mice. For the Ace 68 / Ace 68 Air magnetic switch keyboard, you can use M HUB to configure trigger settings, remap keys, set advanced key functions, adjust keyboard performance, change lighting effects, update firmware, and restore factory settings.

Access M HUB

M HUB is available as both a Desktop Driver and a Web Driver.

• Customize key values and key layers
• Configure advanced key functions
• Adjust keyboard performance settings
• Change lighting modes, colors, speed, and brightness

  Important: For the most stable connection, connect the keyboard directly to your computer's USB port. Avoid using USB hubs, docking stations, expansion docks, or extension adapters whenever possible.

Key Testing Tool

M HUB includes a key testing tool that allows you to verify whether each key is functioning correctly.

This tool can help diagnose unresponsive keys or confirm that the keyboard is working correctly after a firmware update or configuration change.

How to Use the Key Testing Tool

1. Open your keyboard's settings page in M HUB.
2. Click Go to Test.
3. M HUB will redirect you to the web-based key testing page.

4. Press each key and confirm that the corresponding key responds on the testing page.

   

Onboard Configuration

What Is Onboard Configuration?

Onboard configuration allows you to save personalized settings directly to the keyboard's onboard memory.

Supported settings may include macros, key mappings, lighting effects, actuation distance, Rapid Trigger parameters, and other compatible functions.

Benefits of Onboard Configuration

• Plug-and-play: Once your settings are saved to onboard memory, you can connect the keyboard to another computer and continue using those settings without configuring them again.
• Works without M HUB: Settings written to onboard memory remain available even when M HUB is not open or installed on the connected computer.

Firmware Requirements

We recommend updating your keyboard firmware to the latest version before using onboard configuration features to ensure full compatibility.

Multi-profile onboard configuration is supported on all MCHOSE magnetic switch keyboards except the Zero75 and Zero75S.

It is also available on selected MCHOSE mechanical keyboards, including the K87S, G87 V2, and G75 V2.

Onboard Configuration vs. Inactive Configuration

Onboard Configuration

Onboard configurations are stored directly on the keyboard and remain available when you switch computers or browsers.

How to Switch Onboard Configurations

1. Go to the key remapping page in M HUB.
2. Assign the Switch Onboard function to your preferred key.
3. Select Apply to All Onboard Devices.

4. Press the assigned Switch Onboard key to switch between onboard configurations without opening M HUB.

   

   

Inactive Configuration

Inactive configurations are used as parameter presets only. They are not automatically synchronized to other browsers or computers.
