Overview
- The K63W Pro was revealed earlier this week at Computex as a 70‑percent, low‑profile wireless gaming keyboard that uses ultra‑wideband (UWB) radio and supports true 8,000 Hz polling over both wired and wireless connections.
- Cherry XTRFY fitted the board with a large 6,000 mAh rechargeable battery and cites up to 1,100 hours of use depending on settings such as polling rate and RGB brightness, a manufacturer claim that reporters say requires real‑world verification.
- The keyboard uses Cherry MX Low Profile 2.0 switches and gasket‑mount construction to aim for a cushioned, compact typing feel while freeing desk space for mouse movement favored by competitive players.
- Cherry XTRFY plans a phased launch with the K63W Pro arriving in the EU in early July for €179.99 and in the U.S. in August for $169.99, placing it alongside other recent 8K‑rate offerings from rivals.
- Reviewers note UWB can reduce interference compared with crowded 2.4 GHz links but has shorter range, so independent testing of latency, interference resistance, and battery life will determine whether the K63W Pro delivers meaningful benefits to gamers.
