Cherry's gaming branch, Cherry XTRFY, introduced the first 8K ultra-wideband gaming keyboard at Computex 2026 earlier today. The new K63W Pro features a 70-percent layout, gasket mount construction, and low-profile switches for a slim, compact, gaming powerhouse with ultra-low latency and high throughput. The keyboard will debut in the EU in early July for €179.99 and will launch in the U.S. in August at $169.99.
It's not the first 8K gaming keyboard, but it is the first with ultra-wideband technology — a short-range, high-frequency wireless technology that's less prone to signal interference than 2.4GHz wireless. This means the keyboard will have a more stable high-speed connection that won't mess with (or be messed with by) other wireless peripherals, such as wireless gaming mice or headsets. The keyboard gets true 8,000 Hz polling over both its wired and wireless connections, which is still probably overkill for most users but means it should (in theory) be the fastest, most responsive gaming keyboard on the market when it launches.
