Retro "KeyBoy Advance" Wireless Mechanical Keyboard Launches at $275

The KeyBoy Advance, a new 50% mechanical keyboard designed by PromoType (Galo), has just entered a group buy. The design, as the name suggests, is heavily inspired by the aesthetics of the Nintendo Game Boy Advance, achieving its retro looks with a case made of either anodized or e-coated aluminium or translucent PC, reminiscent of the classic translucent cases Nintendo was known for at the time. It is a small form factor keyboard that uses an unorthodox 50% HHKB layout, keeping the main alpha cluster and a 10-key number row while providing optional split space layouts, and it is fully remappable in VIAL, the open-source browser-based keyboard remapping utility.

The KeyBoy Advance is a barebones kit, meaning buyers will need to supply their own keycaps, switches, and stabilizers, but the PCB and plate feature options for both ANSI and ISO Enter keys, and buyers can choose between an MX switch-compatible soldered PCB, a wired-only hot-swap PCB, or a hot-swap PCB with wired, Bluetooth, and 2.4 GHz connectivity. Prices vary by vendor, but at Unikeys the soldered PCB with an anodized aluminium case is the cheapest option, at $275. Supposedly, the group buy is selling at a 20% discount off the RRP, which suggests that the KeyBoy Advance will eventually become available as an in-stock item. The group buy expects to ship in Q4 2026, although the date is not guaranteed, and will be available until Jul 22, 2026.

Keychron Debuts K4 Ultra and K10 Ultra Wireless Mechanical Keyboards

Keychron has just expanded its line-up of K Ultra wireless mechanical keyboards with the K4 Ultra and K10 Ultra, both of which feature num pads and identical internals with slight layout tweaks to cater to different use cases. The K10 Ultra is a full-size wireless mechanical keyboard, replete with a four-key macro row above the num pad, while the K4 Ultra forgoes the navigation cluster above the arrow keys in favor of a more compact 96% layout. Both the K4 Ultra and K10 Ultra are available on Keychron's online store and its Amazon storefront for $114.99, with the K4 Ultra's more compact layout slimming down the overall footprint by just over 55 mm.

Internally, both the K4 and K10 Ultra are based on ZMK firmware, which optimizes for wireless battery life, with Keychron claiming up to 600 hours of battery life from the 4,000 mAh battery in both keyboards with the backlighting disabled. For wireless connectivity, the K4 Ultra and K10 Ultra feature 2.4 GHz and Bluetooth 5.2 connections, with a USB Type-C port for charging or wired connectivity, and both keyboards are capable of 8 kHz polling over 2.4 GHz and wired connections.

Epomaker Launches NEX Pro Gaming Mouse and HE65 V2 TMR Keyboard

After teasing the HE65 V2 in early June, Epomaker has finally released the compact 65% TMR gaming keyboard, making it available in black or white for $99.99 on the Epomaker online shop or at Amazon. The HE65 V2 TMR, as the name suggests, is a 65% TMR keyboard with an 8 kHz polling rate, wireless connectivity, an ABS plastic case. The keyboard features a gasket mount and an FR4 plate, and it has four layers of sound damping (latex switch foam, an IXPE switch pad, EPDM case foam, and a silicone case pad). The HE65 V2 TMR uses TMR sensors to make it compatible with N-pole magnetic switches—it ships with Epomaker's Creamy Jade Hall Effect switches by default—but it is also compatible with three- and five-pin MX-style mechanical switches, allowing buyers to choose between the classic mechanical sound and feel or the performance and adjustability benefits of analogue input. The keycaps on both versions of the HE6 V2 TMR are matte translucent polycarbonate Cherry profile keycaps with silk-screened lettering. Despite the compact design, there is a three-key navigation column and a modular, customizable knob on the right edge of the keyboard. Wireless connectivity on the HE65 V2 TMR is powered by a 4,000 mAh battery, but Epomaker makes no claims of battery life.

The Epomaker NEX Pro is the peripheral maker's latest lightweight wireless gaming mouse, and it packs the flagship-tier PixArt PAW3950 sensor and the ever-popular Nordic 54L15 MCU, which enables 8 kHz polling, up to 42,000 DPI, 750 IPS tracking, and up to 50 G acceleration. The NEX Pro has a right-handed, mild ergonomic design with two extra programmable side buttons and an extra button on the top behind the scroll wheel. Epomaker says that the NEX Pro is designed for medium-to-large hands, with dimensions of 122 × 65 × 42 mm (L × W × H) and a claimed weight of 65 g, which isn't particularly heavy but is also by no means "ultra-lightweight," as Epomaker claims. The brand has not revealed what microswitches the NEX Pro uses, but it does specify that the switches have a lifetime of 100 million clicks. The Epomaker NEX Pro features both 2.4 GHz and Bluetooth wireless connectivity, and it has a 500 mAh battery that should deliver a claimed 50 hours of use at 8 kHz. The NEX Pro also comes with a color-matched magnetic charging dock with customizable RGB underglow. The NEX Pro launched at $79.99, and it's available on Epomaker's online shop or on AliExpress.

QwertyKeys Debuts QK100 Mk2 Mechanical Keyboard With Functional Retro Touches

QwertyKeys, the budget brand of Owlab, has just revealed the new QK100 Mk2 wireless mechanical keyboard, which is slated to become available on July 24, 2026, for an MSRP of $219 from the QwertyKeys online store. The QK100 Mk2 is a pre-built keyboard with an aluminium case, tri-mode connectivity, and an 1800 layout that allows for a more compact footprint without sacrificing the num pad or full-size zero key on the bottom of the num pad. There are a handful of unique upgrades to the QK100 Mk2 and more than a few features that set it apart from other mechanical keyboards. For starters, the QK100 Mk2 features a small LCD between the num pad and the main alpha deck, which can be used to show the time and useful information, like the keyboard's battery level, or simply as a tool for fun and customization, with its cutesy cat-themed animations and an "Animal Grocery" typing game built into the display. Above the num pad, there is also an LED strip that reacts to ambient noise and a touch-sensitive strip that can be used to adjust system volume of the connected PC. Next to the escape key, the QK100 Mk2 also has a retro-styled button that is programmed to toggle the keyboard's per-key RGB backlighting.

The QK100 Mk2 supports both Bluetooth and 2.4 GHz for wireless connectivity, with physical switches on the back to select both connection mode and OS layout, and it charges and connects via USB Type-C. Wireless connectivity is supported by an 8,000 mAh battery that QwertyKeys claims will allow the keyboard to deliver upwards of 800 hours of use on a charge with backlighting and displays disabled, up to 100 hours with just the display enabled, and up to 40 hours with all the backlighting and display features enabled. The keyboard features a polypropylene plate, which should give it a softer bottom-out with a slightly damped sound signature. It uses Neo Oat switches, which are linear switches with a 36 gf start force and 45 gf bottom-out force, 3.6 mm of total travel, and nylon top and bottom housings. The QK100 Mk2 will be available in four colors: Radiant Silver, Black Knight, Aquamarine Blue, and Strawberry Pink, and all of the colors will come with matching ABS keycaps in the familiar Cherry profile.

Ergohaven Debuts K:04 Split Ergonomic Mechanical Keyboard with Modular Design

Ergohaven has announced the K:04, a new split ergonomic mechanical keyboard featuring an adaptable modular design that allows users to add navigation modules to expand the keyboard's functionality beyond just typing. The K:04 is designed around ergonomics, with a 58-key layout split between two separate halves that communicate wirelessly using Bluetooth LE. The 58-key layout roughly mimics a 60% keyboard by keeping the number row and eliminating dedicated navigation keys—those are placed on secondary layers, which can be accessed with a key in the thumb cluster. Each half has three or four thumb keys, depending on how far you want to reach under your palm with your thumb. It also features a columnar stagger, which means the keys are offset vertically in order to better align them to the curvature of your fingertips when your hands are at rest and prevent straining to reach keys. The K:04 is available from the Ergohaven online shop in several different configurations, with the base keyboard without switches or keycaps coming in at $180. Adding switches and low-profile blank keycaps brings it up to $240, while adding labelled low-profile Space Encounters keycaps or sculpted keycaps brings the price up to $265 or $280, respectively.

The headline feature of the K:04 is its interchangeable input modules, which allow users to expand functionality by adding a rotary encoder, a touchpad, or a track ball to the inside edge of either half of the keyboard. The keyboard's layout and the functionality of each module are configurable in Ergohaven's open-source Entropy customization software, based on Vial, and the configured functionality of each module will remain on the keyboard's controller if the module is removed and re-enabled whenever the module is reinserted. The keyboard itself is also highly configurable, with the design being based around the Gateron LP 3.0 switch standard but also supporting full-height MX switches with an additional switch plate. Each module also adds additional cost to the keyboard, starting with the rotary encoder at $35, the touchpad at $55, and the 32 mm trackball at $65.

Intel Arc G3 CPU Family Officially Released for Handheld Gaming PCs

Following a series of leaks about an upcoming Intel Panther Lake CPU for gaming handhelds, the hardware giant has officially announced the Intel Arc G3 CPU series, which features the powerful Arc B390 iGPU and optimizations for the Windows Xbox mode that started rolling out to gaming handhelds and Windows PCs alike not too long ago. Both new CPUs are based on the same 14-core CPU design—with 2 P-Cores, 8 E-Cores, and 4 LP E-Cores—but the Arc G3 CPU has a 100 MHz lower max Turbo frequency and a less powerful Arc B370 iGPU. The Arc G3 Extreme and the Arc G3 have already been confirmed as coming to the new Acer Predator Atlas 8 gaming handheld, slated to launch in October 2026.

The Arc G3 Extreme tops out at 4.7 GHz, while the Arc G3 is capable of 4.6 GHz max Turbo frequency. The base frequencies on both CPUs are the same 1.9 GHz on the P-Cores and 1.5 GHz on the E-Cores and LP E-Cores. The Arc B370 iGPU is built on the same Xe3 architecture as the B390, but it features 10 Xe cores instead of the 12 in the B390 iGPU. The cores in the Arc B370 iGPU are clocked at 2.2 GHz, and Intel claims the cut-back iGPU is capable of 90 TOPs of Int8 performance, compared to 113 TOPs on the G3 Extreme. In TechPowerUp's prior testing of the Arc B390, the iGPU was significantly faster than the AMD Radeon 890M that has become ubiquitous in so many gaming handhelds, suggesting that the B370 should at least be on-par with the 890M, if not slightly faster. Both new CPUs also have the same 25 W base power, with a maximum turbo TDP of 80 W and a minimum assured power of 15 W.

Acer Expands Gaming Portfolio with Predator Atlas 8 Handheld Powered by Intel

"These are tools that don't ask for attention, they give it back, removing small distractions and adding comfort so everything feels smoother and more effortless."

Epomaker Teases Hack70 Ortholinear Mechanical Keyboard

Hot on the heels of the launch of the Epomaker HE 75 V2 and F108 Pro V2 keyboards, the keyboard maker has shown off the Hack70 as an upcoming mechanical keyboard, offering a larger version of the ortholinear layout that featured in keyboards like the Luma40. The Hack70 has yet to be officially announced, but the keyboard has been teased in a number of social media posts and a recent unboxing livestream to the brand's YouTube channel. The Hack70 has not yet been announced, but the only other keyboard in the Hack line-up is the HHKB-style Hack59, which comes in at $69.99 on Epomaker's online store, so pricing may be somewhat similar for the Hack70. What few details can be gleaned from the aforementioned livestream suggest that, although it is a niche product, it will likely be on the more affordable side and appeal to those who want to dip their toes into ortholinear keyboards without diving into hyper-niche DIY builds or in-depth customization.

The Hack70 will have tri-mode connectivity, meaning USB-C wired, Bluetooth, and 2.4 GHz, and it will have a plastic case with two-stage flip-out feet and a polycarbonate gasket mounted plate, judging by the included sound test. In case you're unfamiliar, an ortholinear layout—where the keys are aligned in a perfect grid, unlike the traditional row-stagger—supposedly eliminates diagonal finger movements, potentially reducing finger strain and increasing typing efficiency—although the latter is hotly debated. Similarly to the Keychron Q15 Max, the Hack70 veers away from traditional ortholinear keyboards by including more conventional 2.25u and 2.75u split spaces. The Hack70 will also be hot-swap compatible with 3- and 5-pin MX-style mechanical switches, with Epomaker Creamy Jade switches installed by default, by the looks of things, and it will have per-key RGB backlighting, although it will lack the shine-through keycaps of the Luma40. The Hack70's keycaps, which look to be dye-sublimated PBT, will be uniform height, using the XDA profile, thereby giving users the flexibility to test out different layouts or create a macro pad by moving keycaps around freely. The presenter in the unboxing livestream comments that there will be a .JSON file on the product page, suggesting that the Hack70 will be programmable in VIA.

LucidSound Introduces LS500 Wireless Gaming Headset
