CHERRY XTRFY, the specialist for high-quality gaming peripherals, announces the availability of the new K5V2 keyboard - the first gaming keyboard with CHERRY's new mechanical MX2A switches.

CHERRY XTRFY redefines the 65% keyboard class with the K5V2 Compact. The renowned company combines well-known CHERRY quality with a modern design and durable mechanical MX2A Red switches. The keyboard's advanced per-key customizable RGB illumination creates impressive effects with innovative strip LED technology, which can be further enhanced with the USB 3 mode.

Computers and technical devices with interactive touchpoints have long been part of basic hospital equipment. These high-touch items are considered one of the biggest sources of the spread of multi-resistant germs. This is further confirmed by a study conducted by the University of Seattle which reveals 14 percent of the 2,800 tablets, keyboards and computer mice tested were contaminated with MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus). Active Key, the Cherry Group's specialist provider of hygienic keyboards and mice, is introducing a new desktop set that meets the hygiene recommendations of the Robert Koch Institute - a German federal government agency and research institute responsible for disease control and prevention.

The easy-to-wipe and disinfect keyboard complete with abrasion-resistant writing and a flat profile so that no liquid residue remains from disinfection, whilst the two computer mice with a 3-button scroll and scroll sensor are waterproof and easy to clean with their crevice-free design. Thanks to the blue light sensor, they can also be used on any shiny surface. The new hygiene desktop is ideal for extensive entry in hospitals, doctors' surgeries, laboratories, other healthcare facilities, where disinfecting devices is mandatory. When cleaning standard office keyboards, (even when internally sealed) contaminated cleaning fluids can potentially leak out of the gaps. It is also possible the functionality could be impaired if liquids seep into the keyboard housing. Conventional hygiene keyboards also tend to have the key profile raised in such a way that contaminated cleaning fluid collects in the gaps between the keys. Any germs that survive in the fluid can in turn be spread by staff on their hands.

YEYIAN is an up and coming gaming lifestyle brand that's spreading to new markets around the globe. The company made its CES debut this year with a host of new gaming peripherals and PC hardware. We begin our coverage with their peripherals. We first went hands on with an interesting new 65% format keyboard called simply the "Ultra Compact Transparent Keyboard." Nearly all its body panels of this wireless keyboard is transparent, letting you see the PCB underneath holding all the user-replaceable key switches. The keyboard gives you the option of a low-latency 2.4 GHz RF, and Bluetooth. In Bluetooth mode, the keyboard supports 3 simultaneous channels. It uses a rechargeable battery that can fast-charge in a hour, providing up to 10 days of stand-by time.

The next keyboard is more premium, and wired. It's called the "Mechanical Keyboard_Cherry Switch." It's probable that YEYIAN will come up with new names for these keyboards that are easier to recall. The wired keyboard comes in a 75% (82-key) format in a compact body size. The start attraction here is its latest generation CHERRY MX2A switches, which are pre-lubricated. YEYIAN has opted for the MX2A Speed Silver switch with integrated RGB lighting. Next up, are two ultra lightweight wireless mice, the YEYIAN Drift and YEYIAN Dominate.

CHERRY and its new Xtrfy gaming peripherals brand is a great match of underlying technology and knowing what gamers want. The combine came to 2024 CES with an entire new portfolio of keyboards, mice, and streaming hardware. First up, is the MX 3.1 keyboard series, a collaborative design effort between CHERRY and Xtrfy. The keyboard introduces CHERRY's new MX2A switches, which introduce a new lubricant and spring design that can take over 100 million keystrokes. The MX2A is available across CHERRY's entire portfolio of linear and tactile switches.

At CES, we've come across at least 9 new MX 3.1 family keyboards branded by Xtrfy, of various form-factors (size based), various layouts, keycap selection, and lighting. Some of these key sets are designed to match the prints on Xtrfy's GP5 series Amnis Blue Edition mouse mats. The CHERRY MX 3.1 keyboard and Xtrfy keyboards incorporating the MX2A switches, are expected to be released some time in Q2-2024, with a starting price of $130 for the MX 3.1.

CHERRY MX, the market leader and expert for mechanical switches in keyboards, unveils the MX Black Clear-Top, a new edition of a switch that was produced in the 1980s and is known in the community as "Nixie". Due to the characteristic exterior and the smooth switching feel with rich acoustics, this variant is considered an insider tip for fans of linear MX switches. Since the switch, which was specially manufactured for Nixdorf Computer AG at the time, was only produced for a few years, the original "Nixie" is highly sought after and is only available second-hand or can be found as an expensive rarity on various sales platforms. The now-introduced MX Black Clear-Top follows in the footsteps of this legend but is optimized by current manufacturing processes and materials. In addition, there are two different variants to cover the diverse needs of DIY enthusiasts and the switch community: one with first-class high-performance lubricant in perfect dosage, which was applied in a high-precision, automated process, and one without pre-lubrication.

The community name "Nixie" originates from a variant of the classic MX Black, which was specially adapted to the wishes of the former German company Nixdorf Computer AG: The requirement was a milky upper part of the housing, an increase in the actuating force from 60 to 63.5 centinewtons, as well as the relatively rare solution at the time of having a diode integrated into the switch for n-key rollover, or NKRO for short. The switch was mainly found in the "Nixdorf CT06-CT07/2 M Softkeys" keyboards for use on minicomputers, servers, or terminals. The production of these customer switches took place at CHERRY until the end of the 1980s, which makes the Nixie switch an absolute rarity these days, and even used ones are rarely found.

CORSAIR, a world leader in high-performance gear for gamers and content creators, today announced the availability of the CORSAIR K100 AIR Wireless Mechanical Gaming Keyboard from the CORSAIR webstore and distributors worldwide.

Hyper-responsive CHERRY MX Ultra Low Profile mechanical keyswitches provide the satisfying, tactile, and reliable keystrokes that users demand, without the height of a full-size keyswitch.

CHERRY MX, the market leader and expert for mechanical switches in keyboards, is the first choice for keyswitch technology for CORSAIR's laptop debut: the leading manufacturer of high-performance PC components and peripherals is shipping its brand-new high-end CORSAIR a1600 AMD Advantage Edition series laptops with the MX Ultra Low Profile Tactile switches. With this, the US company relies on mechanical precision made in Germany to meet the high demands of gamers, content creators, and other power users.

The CORSAIR Voyager a1600 is equipped with cutting-edge technology. Still, it remains surprisingly thin: Despite a height of only 19.8 millimeters, the mobile PC is equipped with the top processor AMD Ryzen 9 6900HS or Ryzen 7 6800HS, and the dedicated graphics solution Radeon RX 6800M. Together with 16 gigabytes of DDR5 memory from CORSAIR's Vengeance series, it is ensured that games run smoothly at maximum graphic details, and resource-intensive applications such as graphics or video editing software can be operated responsively. To adequately cool the high-performance components, CORSAIR relies on an advanced vapor-chamber cooling system that distributes heat evenly, keeping temperatures low even in this slim format.

Designed for maximum performance, XMG adds two models with AMD's Ryzen 6900HX to its NEO series. The NEO 17 has been completely redesigned and features a keyboard with CHERRY's MX ULP Tactile RGB switches, a 16:10 display with 2,560 x 1,600 pixels, a 99 Wh battery and a revised cooling system that can fully exploit the power limits of the graphics card (up to the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti). The NEO 15, on the other hand, is a platform update based on the existing chassis. The new AMD edition (generation M22 model) is compatible with the external XMG OASIS laptop liquid cooling system and, in contrast to the Intel version introduced at the beginning of the year (model generation E22), is fully VR-compatible.

Featuring AMD's Ryzen 9 6900HX with 8 cores and 16 threads as well as freely configurable Nvidia graphics cards (GeForce RTX 3080 Ti, 3080 and 3070 Ti), the new NEO 17 packs a mighty punch. In addition, XMG ensures the gaming and content creation laptop is fitted with a powerful cooling system: With five heat pipes, separate heat sinks on all four air outlets and two 11 mm fans with unobtrusive, low-frequency sound characteristics, even the 175 watt TGP of the RTX 3080 Ti with 16 GB GDDR6 VRAM (150 watts plus 25 watt Dynamic Boost 2.0) can be permanently run at full power. The AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX also operates continuously at 65 watts under full load, with boost peaks of up to 85 watts.

Likewise, the keyboard's durable, wear-and-shine-resistant PBT double-shot keycaps feature a standard bottom row layout, so any set of custom keycaps will fit. Lastly, the iconic aluminium frame, a hallmark of the K70 Series, now comes with an accent bar that can be swapped out to add an extra splash of color to your keyboard (additional colors sold separately).
