I thought TMR was only for controllers until I saw this CHERRY keyboard

Gaming keyboard with multicolored backlighting.

I'll be completely honest, despite reviewing gaming accessories (mainly Xbox controllers), until this week I thought TMR (tunneling magnetoresistance) was purely controller tech. Something reserved for premium joysticks and the next step from Hall-Effect on the market.

Thanks to CES 2026 though, my eyes have been opened to the CHERRY XTRFY MX 8.2 Pro TMR Wireless keyboard.

Despite the name sounding a little like a 2000s electro-house band, I'm actually intrigued by this magnetic-switch keyboard.
