For the first time in our history, we are breaking into the competitive gaming peripheral scene with the new Alienware Pro Wireless Mouse and Alienware Pro Wireless Keyboard. These advanced wireless products debut at CES 2024 alongside new gaming laptops and first of their kind QD-OLED monitors to satisfy competitive players and esports professionals. Our team knew that to make a premier mouse and keyboard tailored for pros, we needed input from pros. Throughout the development process, we collaborated with over 100 esports athletes from across the globe, including Team Liquid, our longtime partner and the most successful team in esports history. Guided by their insights, our expert engineers and designers meticulously crafted our most advanced peripherals ever.

Tuned for performance and comfort, welcome the Alienware Pro Mouse
Pro gamers are in consensus - a tournament-ready mouse needs to be responsive, comfortable and offer long battery life. We pushed the limits in these areas then combined them with thoughtful conveniences to make the Alienware Pro Mouse a great choice for anyone - from esports athletes to tech enthusiasts. We started by packing the Pro Mouse with the highest performance components. You are probably familiar with DPI, but another key performance characteristic is polling rate. Polling rate is the frequency in which data is sent from a mouse to a device.

EPOMAKER at the 2024 International CES showed off its recent gaming peripherals. The company specializes in retro-futuristic looking keyboards that look like they're from the 1980s, but are backed by modern tech. Our tour begins with the CIDOO V87, a TKL wireless keyboard with matte linear key switches, an aluminium unibody chassis, a programmable metal rotary knob, and dye-sublimation PBT keycaps. It supports RF + Bluetooth + USB-C connectivity, and a 3,000 mAh battery with fast charging can run the keyboard for days with its lighting.

Next up, is the RT100, a 95% (97-key) format mechanical keyboard, featuring a gasket-mounting ergonomic design, flexible choices of key switches between Gateron and EPOMAKER (in-house); and 3 connectivity options. Pay attention to the stub near the Esc key—it has a little multi-color LED display that can be used to put out real-time monitoring stats. The EPOMAKER Feker Alice 98 is modeled after the early-1990s Microsoft Ergonomic keyboard that sees the main key cluster split and angled into two; except with all the "modern amenities," such as pre-lubed mechanical key switches, RF + Bluetooth + USB-C interfaces, and more. There is a variant with an off-white CNC aluminium top-plate, and another with a small programmable screen. Lastly, EPOMAKER displayed its MIX Pro retro-futuristic USB-C cable meant to mimic the coiled cord look of keyboards from the 1980s.

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.

Its features include an aircraft-grade aluminium top plate, a premium memory foam-outfitted wrist wrest and MSI's snazzy looking Clearcaps. Interested buyers will be offered a choice of proprietary Sonic Series Mechanical Red switches (35 g actuation force, linear typing experience) or Blue switches (45 g actuation force, "smooth + clicky" typing experience).

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.

The HYTE Keeb TKL design is, in many ways, reminiscent of early-2000s Apple iMacs that used clear polycarbonate to frame everything from the monitors to their keyboards; albeit they didn't have any lighting to go with it. That's not the case with the Keeb TKL, though. Called the "Crystal Bubble," a large overarching polycarbonate frame surrounds the main keyboard top-plate. this is studded with 155 qRGB LEDs, with the polycarbonate acting as a diffuser. Another stand-out feature is the dual magnetic rollers, that are programmable using the HYTE Nexus software. You can use this to quickly cycle weapons in a game, or so. The main switches are Krytox lubed HYTE Fluffy Lavender Linear types; while the media/macro keys located near the magnetic roller assembly are low-profile Flappy Paddle Tactile ones. When it goes on sale later this year, the HYTE Keeb TKL will be priced at $180.
