CHERRY XTRFY Launches High-End Gaming Gear for Enthusiasts and Serious Gamers

[Nomad76]

First unveiled at CES 2025, the CHERRY XTRFY MX 8.3 TKL Wireless mechanical gaming keyboard and the GP6 and GP7 mousepads are set to launch on 29 July 2025. Developed using decades of experience in keyboards, switches and esports, the latest products focus on precision, responsiveness and feel.

CHERRY XTRFY MX 8.3 TKL Wireless - Hot-swap mechanical keyboard with triple-mode connection
A premium gasket construction in a solid aluminium casing, and a wireless polling rate of 4000 Hz and even 8000 Hz via cable, underline the build quality and responsiveness of the MX 8.3 TKL Wireless. Reporting to the computer up to eight times every millisecond, it ensures ultra-fast response for competitive gaming. The keyboard can be operated in three different ways: via cable, a 2.4 GHz wireless dongle, or Bluetooth for up to three simultaneously paired devices. MX 8.3 TKL comes in the popular and compact tenkeyless format, which gives gamers more space for their mouse and large, comfortable mousepads such as the GP6 and GP7.



Thanks to a special gasket design and multi-layer inner padding, a particularly smooth keystroke feel without unwanted vibrations is achieved. The proven mechanical keyboard switch from CHERRY is now even better. CHERRY MX2A is a further refinement of the CHERRY MX, which is used in more than 60 million keyboards worldwide. With precisely applied premium lubricant and a new innovative spring design, the MX2A offers smoother actuation, improved acoustics, and a lifespan of 100 million keystrokes. And if gamers want to try out different switch characteristics to find the perfect feeling, the switches can be replaced during operation—without soldering.

The intuitive rotary knob and display make it easy to adjust RGB lighting, access media controls, and seamlessly switch between connection modes or paired devices. The display also shows battery status and typing speed (APM) and offers three customizable profiles for personalized settings.

The CHERRY XTRFY MX 8.3 TKL will be available in stores on July 29, 2025, for an MSRP of €299.

CHERRY XTRFY GP6 - Super-smooth precision mousepad & CHERRY XTRFY GP7 - Mousepad with graphene fabric
The new GP6 and GP7 mousepads from CHERRY XTRFY are the perfect match, with the latter enriched with robust graphene. Graphene is 200 times stronger than steel, yet offers a smooth, ultra-dense surface with extreme wear resistance.

Both mousepads are designed to help gamers improve their play, with new and unique cloth surfaces and an extra-soft rubber base that improves both comfort and precision. Offering high speed with light pressure and adding resistance as you press harder, it provides better control in micro-movements, allowing players to sharpen their accuracy.



The GP6 and GP7 will be available in size L (460 x 400 x 4 mm). The GP6 will retail at a suggested retail price of €29, and the GP7 at €39. Both models will be available in stores from July 29.

Keyboard is a bit too expensive but mouse pad looks interesting.

The knob on the keyboard looks cheap and tacky but "GaMeR" it is.

Mouse mat has me interested though. Mhm.

Will the calculator key actually work properly?

I can not determine the real life quality from pictures.

I had ordered once a 120€ cherry keyboard for someone else. Two people tested and two people came to the same conclusion. Return it. For 3 times the price of a logitech keyboard or 6 times the price of a common keyboard the quality was very, very, very lacking.
One guy uses logitech keyboard. I use a cooler master mechanical keyboard. I bought red and brown switches with zero experience on mechanical keyboards. The other one is just spare parts.

Cherry maybe as overrated as logitech and razer.

I got one of their last gen keyboards- It's now 2 years old. The keys are nice, the build quality is nice and solid metal, but the electronics are crap. I have 7 keys that the RGB just does what it wants, and the keyboard requires 2 keys presses after the computer wakes from sleep to register a keypress. None of my other keyboards did that, and still don't do it if I plug them in.

The RGB is also very dim, so it's kind of OK-ish in the daytime but is half the brightness you would want it to be, but it's fine at night, nothing special.

I would never buy a Cherry keyboard again.

This should be about a 100 bucks or so (even that is stretching it a bit). I mean, really.

For 300, you can have for example a Qwerykeys, Meletrix or TKD keyboard, with QMK/VIA, made of aluminum/brass, completely customized, and you'll also have a carrying case and an extra PCB too. Not nearly in the same ballpark, not even close...

Cherry has good/decent keyboards (albeit not cheap either), just not in the "gaming" sphere (mostly vintage, classic and industrial stuff).

Got an Xtrfy K4 for £60 a few years back, great LED, keys very sensitive - great for gaming crap for two finger typing. Been looking for something newer/better for years but bewildered by the choices so still using. Who knows if it's got the right sound/damping/construction - I like it. The keyboard aficionados are almost as bad as the hi-fi brigade with their opinions.

Then keep buying massively overpriced crap.
