CHERRY XTRFY has introduced the K33 Compact Wireless, a compact gaming keyboard designed for entry-level users looking for wireless connectivity and a mechanical-style typing experience at a more accessible price point. It is intended to bring core gaming features into a simpler and more space-efficient design suited to both gaming and everyday use.The K33 Compact Wireless is a 75% layout keyboard offering three connection modes: 2.4 GHz wireless, Bluetooth and USB. This allows it to be used across a range of devices, with straightforward switching between setups such as desktop PCs, laptops and mobile devices, without the need to re-pair each time. The wireless options are designed to support both gaming and general use, depending on the selected mode.

The keyboard supports a 1000 Hz polling rate when used in 2.4 GHz wireless mode, aimed at delivering stable and responsive input performance, helping ensure accurate input during fast-paced gameplay. The 75% layout is designed to provide a compact format while retaining essential functionality. Selected shortcut functions for media control and lighting adjustments are included, alongside dedicated Windows and Mac modes for use across different systems.

With a space-saving design, tactile mechanical switches, and tri-mode wireless connection, the new GXTrust Acira Tri-Mode Wireless Gaming Keyboard proves that the best things really do come in small packages. With all the same fantastic features of its predecessor, the Acira Wireless, this tri-mode version gives games the added benefit being able to pick their connection and game exactly how they want.

With a 60% key layout, the Acira Tri-Mode frees up valuable desk space and provides more room for sweeping mouse movements - essential for competitive gaming where every millimeter counts. Despite its smaller footprint, gamers don't have to sacrifice functionality, with triple-function keys delivering a full-size keyboard experience, along with Fn multifunction keys offering direct access to media controls like play, pause, and volume adjustments.

It seems as though controller gamers have more and more choices for input devices daily, and 8BitDo is adding to the list with the recent announcement of the Lavender Dusk Ultimate 3 Controller. The Lavender Dusk controller is a special edition controller for PC, Xbox, and mobile devices that features a unique design "shaped by light and dusk." Visuals aside, the Ultimate 3 Lavender Dusk is a feature-rich controller that comes with a matching wireless charging dock, 6-axis gyro control, 2.4 GHz and Bluetooth wireless connectivity, and substantial customization options. It is currently available for pre-order from 8BitDo or Amazon for $99.99, with pre-orders shipping on August 31, 2026.

The Lavender Dusk Ultimate 3 Controller features tension-adjustable TMR joysticks, Hall effect triggers with two trigger stop depths, extra L4 and R4 bumpers in the shoulder button cluster, and customizable back paddles for additional inputs. The face buttons follow the traditional Xbox controller scheme, but the grip has been slightly redesigned for ergonomics, the d-pad has a redesigned disc shape that's meant to make it easier to execute diagonal movements, and there are a few additional buttons on the face. It comes with a built-in 1,000 mAh battery that 8BitDo claims delivers 20 hours of play time off of 4-5 hours of charging. All of the buttons and triggers are reprogrammable in 8BitDo's Software X and Software V2 Mobile, allowing for not just cross-platform support but also a degree of cross-platform customization.

After previewing the Dash series of wireless gaming mice at CES in January 2026, Akko has officially released the Dash Master as its latest iteration in the Dash line-up. The Dash Master features the new PixArt PAW 3955 sensor, which ups the mouse's sensitivity to 65,000 DPI and offers 8 kHz polling. More importantly, the Akko Dash Master weighs in at just 40 g, putting it on the lighter side compared to most mainstream gaming mice. The Dash Master uses both Bluetooth and 2.4 GHz wireless connecitivity alongside USB-C wired, with the latter two offering 8 kHz polling. The combination of the new sensor and the Nordic nRF54L15 MCU garner a claimed 30-50% power savings, with battery life clocking in at a claimed 86 days on Bluetooth, 220 hours of continuous use at 1 kHz, and 28 hours of use at 8 kHz polling rate. The Akko Dash Master carries an MSRP of $69.99, but there is a $10 launch discount that brings the price down to $59.99.

The Dash Master, like the other Dash gaming mice, has two side buttons and a symmetrical shape optimized for a claw grip and smaller hands, measuring in at just 117.56 × 60.91 × 37.01 mm, and the main clicks make use of Omron Optical switches, which are known to be reliable and have a long service life, thanks to the lack of a mechanical switch mechanism. The scroll wheel on the Dash Master uses the TTC Gold encoder, which is a popular choice for affordable flagship-tier gaming mice. The Dash Master can be customized and reprogrammed in a browser-based web utility or a downloadable Windows application. One of the benefits of the Master over the other Dash mice is that it ships with three sets of dot skates—all with different friction characteristics—in addition to the pre-installed PTFE skates. Akko specifically notes that the Dash Master has no coating, instead featuring a satin finish on the polymer itself—Akko argues that coatings will just wear off in high contact zones—but it does include precision cut grip tape to add some grip if you need it.

Hot on the heels of the leaked compact Xbox cloud gaming controller, the same site responsible for the aforementioned leak has published regulatory images of what looks to be a successor to the Xbox Elite 2 wireless controller. The Elite 3, as it were, looks to feature an increased focus on Xbox's cloud gaming offerings, with a dedicated cloud mode detailed in the regulatory documentation, but the design itself is far more interesting than that of the compact controller, seemingly offering a high degree of toolless customization. It's unclear when the Elite 3 controller will launch, but, given past trends, it seems likely that it will only launch alongside the Xbox Helix console.

Based on the images shared by Technoblog, it looks like the Elite 3 controller will keep the same swappable thumb stick and d-pad and adjustable and interchangeable triggers and paddles as the existing Elite 2 controller. This time, however, it seems as though the mounting points for the inner grip paddles have moved closer to the center of the controller, potentially offering more freedom for different custom paddle lengths. There are two new roller wheels between the two grips on the bottom edge of the controller, which seem to be linked to the tension or travel of the paddles or thumb sticks. The Elite 3 controller will have similar performance characteristics as the cloud-centric compact controller, with Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth connectivity, and the controller will have an internal 1,528 mAh battery.

Microsoft has scarcely deviated from its regular Xbox controller design—with the obvious exceptions of the Duke and Microsoft Adaptive Controllers—but it looks like Microsoft will soon try its hand at a compact controller, if recent leaks out of Portuguese-language publication, Technoblog, are any indication. According to images and information leaked to the publication, the new controller design will be similar to the likes of the 8BitDo SN30 Pro, and it will have a similar cloud-focused feature-set, to boot. Although it will have a familiar Xbox layout, the controller will be designed around cloud gaming first and foremost, although it appears as though it will also function normally with the Xbox or PC, anyway.

Unlike its 8BitDo counterpart, the unreleased Xbox compact cloud controller will have the traditional offset thumb stick locations and a d-pad design that's similar to, if not identical to, the one found on the current-gen Xbox Wireless controller that launched with the Series consoles. Additionally, there appears to be a little more care taken with respect to ergonomics on Microsoft's new controller, with its small hump-like grip protrusions on the bottom of the controller. The leaked images show off the controller in both black and white, and the publication indicates that it will feature Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth, and USB-C connectivity, with a Realtek RTL8730E SoC and a 500 mAh built-in battery as opposed to the regular wireless controller's AA solution.

Following the recent reveal of the Epomaker HE75 V2, the budget peripherals maker has now revealed the updated Epomaker x Aula F1080 Pro V2 wireless mechanical keyboard. The updated keyboard has yet to launch on Epomaker's website, but in a recent livestream, Epomaker showed off some of the features of the new full-size mechanical keyboard. As with the previous F108 Pro, the F108 Pro V2 features a plastic gasket-mount case that's held together with clips, making it a bit more of a challenge for modders but likely reducing the BOM cost and final price of the keyboard itself. An exact launch date has not yet been announced, nor has pricing, but if it's priced at all like the existing F108 Pro, it will cost around $100. The livestream showed off a number of colors, including a pastel pink, a retro-themed beige with brown and black accents, and a version with a black case with smokey translucent keycaps.

DAREU today announced the global release of its GT87 magnetic switch keyboard, introducing a new approach to combining magnetic sensing performance with a mechanical-like typing experience. The GT87, which debuted in China in March, has gained early market traction and was recently recognized with the Red Dot Design Award for product design and user experience.

At the core of the GT87 is a custom magnetic switch integrating TMR (Tunnel Magnetoresistance) technology. Compared with conventional Hall-effect solutions, TMR enables lower power consumption while maintaining precise input detection, supporting tri-mode connectivity across wired, 2.4 GHz wireless, and Bluetooth.

Keychron has been busy updating its mechanical keyboard line-up over the last few months switching to hyperefficient firmware and its updated Silk POM mechanical switches. Now, the Keychron Q11 gets the same treatment, with the Q11 Ultra being a much bigger improvement over the original Q11 than the other keyboards Keychron has recently updated. The reason for this is that Keychron's only split keyboard was the Q11, with no Max or Pro variants to add wireless connectivity into the mix. This time, though Keychron has gone one step further with the Q11 Ultra, not only eliminating the USB-C cable to the PC, but also making the two halves of the split keyboard communicate wirelessly as well. Keychron claims that the dual batteries in the Q11 Ultra are capable of delivering 300 hours on a single charge, and the keyboard connects via Bluetooth, 2.4 GHz, or via the USB-C cable on the left half. With 2.4 GHz and the wired connection, the polling rate can go as high as 8 kHz, even though that's hardly necessary for a mechanical switch. The Q11 Ultra is available for $239.99 from Keychron's online store.

The Q11 Ultra is a 75% split keyboard, meaning the keyboard splits in half for ergonomic purposes, although it still maintains the row staggered layout, so it should feel familiar for most users coming from a regular mechanical gaming keyboard. Despite the 75% layout, the Q11 Ultra has an additional five-key macro column on the left edge of the left side of the keyboard, and there are two programmable knobs—one on each half of the keyboard. The keyboard cases are constructed from CNC aluminium with an integrated top plate, and the keyboard uses double-shot PBT keycaps in Keychron's KSA profile. The Q11 Ultra is only available in black with blue accent keycaps, and it seems to miss out on the decorative bottom panel found on the likes of the Keychron Q1 Ultra. It comes with a choice of Keychron Silk POM Red (linear), Brown (tactile), and Banana (sharp tactile) switches, but the PCB is hot-swap compatible, so you can bring your own switches and keycaps if you don't like the stock experience. The Q11 Ultra has south-facing per-key RGB backlighting, which, along with the layout, is fully programmable in Keychron Launcher.

Valve's Steam Controller is reportedly just a few days away from launch, as the company is preparing for a May 4 release in Japan. According to a now-deleted post by 4Gamer, the Japanese launch is expected on May 4, with a price of $99. This price includes the controller, a charging cable, and a 2.4 GHz dongle for wireless connectivity to a PC. The removed 4Gamer post mentioned the exact launch time as May 4 at 15:00 local time in Japan, which means the launch timing will differ for the Western hemisphere. This effectively sets the launch date exactly a week from the time of writing, confirming rumors of an imminent release. As a reminder, Valve's Steam Controller will feature elements that justify its $99 price point, including four programmable buttons, dual touchpads, a hall effect sensor, HD rumble for haptic feedback, decent battery life, and connectivity options that include Bluetooth and a separate 2.4 GHz dongle.

Below are some pictures from the 4Gamer article, which has now been taken down.

Valve's upcoming Steam Controller is one of the most anticipated hardware releases the company plans to unveil soon. In a leaked video review that has since been taken down, we learned that Valve has reportedly priced this product at $99. This price point may leave enthusiasts weighing the potential higher cost against its features. While it is on the pricier side for a wireless controller, Valve positions the Steam Controller as having an ergonomic, programmable, and immersive design. What makes it special are its features, including four programmable buttons, dual touchpads, a hall effect sensor, HD rumble for haptic feedback, decent battery life, and connectivity options that include Bluetooth and a separate 2.4 GHz dongle. All of this may justify the asking price, but given the recent influx of high-quality third-party controllers, we should wait for official reviews before drawing any conclusions.

Just a few days ago, Valve quietly uploaded a Steam Controller unboxing video on its Steam platform. However, the video has not been made available for viewing, as attempting to play it results in a "This video has not been processed for streaming" message. This indicates that the launch of the controller is imminent, but since a review was released early, we are likely just a week or two away from the official unveiling. Below is a screenshot from the leaked video review, which has now been taken down.

Hot on the heels of the freshly announced G3 wireless gaming mouse, Keychron has announced two more symmetrical gaming mouse designs in the G4 and G5, both featuring identical performance characteristics with slightly different shell designs and aesthetics. While both mice are symmetrical shapes with mid-hump designs, the G4 has an ABS shell with a retro off-white and reddish-brown color scheme, accentuated by the cute pixelated hardware buttons and toggles on the bottom of the mouse, and the G5 has a carbon fiber shell with a more traditional gamer aesthetic. The G5 is also a fair bit lighter, coming in at 43 g compared to the G4's 55 g, even though the G4 is smaller than the G5. The Keychron G4 is available on the Keychron online store for $79.99, while the G5 costs $109.99.

The G4 and G5 feature identical internals, with the PixArt PAW 3950 sensor running the show and providing 8 kHz polling over 2.4 GHz and wired connections, alongside Bluetooth 5.3 for less intensive use. Both have a 500 mAh battery, although Keychron claims up to 130 hours on a charge for the G4 and 162 hours for the G5 in Bluetooth mode. With a more reasonable 4 kHz polling mode over 2.4 GHz, the G4 is said to last up to 36 hours, while the G5 should deliver 38 hours. At 1 kHz polling, which is the bare minimum for most gaming needs, that increases to 130 hours for the G4 and 153 hours for the G5. Both mice also use the same Huano Transparent Yellow Shell White Dot switches as the G3 that launched just a day prior, delivering MTBF lifespans of 120 million clicks.
