CHERRY XTRFY Releases K63W Pro Compact Ultra-Wideband Gaming Keyboard
07/2026 - Back to overview
New premium keyboard combines Ultra-Wideband technology, 8K polling, and a new 70% format for fast, stable wireless performance
Auerbach, July 2, 2026 – CHERRY XTRFY expands its premium portfolio with the K63W Pro Compact Ultra-Wideband. For the first time, this gaming keyboard combines Ultra-Wideband technology with a wireless polling rate of 8000 Hz and a low-profile gasket-mounted construction. The overall package is rounded out by CHERRY MX Low Profile 2.0 switches, a new esports-oriented 70% layout, and a 6000 mAh battery for long wireless gaming sessions.
Following its official unveiling at Computex 2026 in Taipei, the K63W Pro Compact was already included in numerous "Best of Computex" lists by various media outlets. The keyboard is aimed at experienced gamers looking for a particularly fast and reliable wireless solution with a high-quality typing feel.
Ultra-Wideband for Fast and Reliable Inputs
The K63W Pro Compact is the first gaming keyboard from CHERRY XTRFY featuring Ultra-Wideband connectivity. This technology transmits data via short pulses across a broad frequency spectrum and operates within its own frequency range. As a result, interference from other wireless devices is significantly reduced, and the connection remains stable even in crowded wireless environments.
Especially in competitive games, milliseconds often decide between victory and defeat. UWB technology registers inputs almost instantaneously and combines high transmission speed with high energy efficiency. The K63W Pro Compact achieves a polling rate of 8000 Hz in both wireless and wired modes, transmitting signals to the computer up to eight times per millisecond. This ensures that every input is captured and executed particularly fast, even during rapid keystroke sequences and hectic gaming situations.
Premium Typing Feel in a Low-Profile Keyboard
A central feature of the K63W Pro Compact is its high-quality gasket construction. The elastic mounting of the internal components reduces vibrations and dampens noise, resulting in a softer and more controlled typing feel. Such construction has been rare in the field of low-profile gaming keyboards until now and provides additional comfort, especially during long sessions.
The CHERRY MX Low Profile 2.0 switches also contribute to the overall experience. These mechanical switches feature a revised design and precisely tuned lubrication, supporting a smooth keystroke and improved acoustics. At the same time, the switches are designed for a lifespan of more than 100 million actuations without any loss in input quality.
Compact Format for More Freedom of Movement
With the K63W Pro Compact, CHERRY XTRFY introduces a new 70% layout that has been specifically tailored to the requirements of gamers. The function keys remain, while the side areas of the keyboard have been reduced. This creates additional space for wide mouse movements and a clean, ergonomic setup.
The bottom right keys can be flexibly configured and used either as arrow keys or alternative functions such as Shift or Ctrl. In combination with corresponding settings, multiple key assignments are also possible, allowing the keyboard to be customized to different playstyles and workflows.
For long wireless gaming sessions, the K63W Pro Compact features a high-capacity 6000 mAh battery with a runtime of up to 1100 hours – depending on the chosen settings. Per-key RGB lighting, full N-key rollover, and complete anti-ghosting complement the features. If the keyboard needs to be charged, gameplay can be continued without interruption via the detachable USB-C cable.
The CHERRY XTRFY K63W Pro Compact Ultra-Wideband is now available at a recommended retail price of 179.99 €.
