The Cherry XTRFY K63W Pro Compact is a wireless gaming keyboard that eliminates lag.

      Ultra-Wideband technology and an 8000 Hz polling rate have arrived to permanently solve your wireless issues.

      Cherry XTRFY unveiled the K63W Pro Compact at Computex 2026, featuring a highlight that’s rarely found in gaming keyboards: Ultra-Wideband technology. With a genuine 8000 Hz polling rate, this compact keyboard aims to be a formidable wireless choice for gamers who prioritize performance.

      What role does Ultra-Wideband play in a keyboard?

      Conventional wireless keyboards function within narrow frequency ranges, which can lead to interference and various issues. In contrast, Ultra-Wideband operates by transmitting data in brief bursts over a significantly wider frequency range. According to Cherry XTRFY, this innovation leads to improved signal timing, decreased interference, and a more reliable connection, even in environments crowded with competing wireless signals.

      The K63W Pro Compact communicates with your computer up to eight times every millisecond in both wired and wireless modes, achieving a polling rate typically reserved for wired keyboards. Additionally, Cherry XTRFY has equipped this keyboard with a 6,000 mAh battery, which is a substantial capacity for a keyboard that is 70% in size. This will help ensure that low battery warnings won’t disrupt your extended gaming sessions.

      What other features come with the new keyboard?

      Beyond the wireless capabilities, Cherry XTRFY has implemented several significant design modifications. The K63W Pro Compact features a 70% layout that preserves the function row while narrowing the sides to create more desk space for mouse movement.

      This keyboard incorporates CHERRY MX LOW PROFILE 2.0 switches, paired with a new gasket construction that the company claims produces softer keystrokes and richer acoustics compared to typical low-profile mechanical keyboards.

      Joakim Jansson, Director of Product Management at CHERRY, described the outcome as “a typing experience you would not anticipate from a low-profile keyboard.” Regarding price, the keyboard is not the cheapest but is also not exorbitant. The K63W Pro Compact will be available in the US in August for $169.99.

      Android will now alert you if someone is using AI to impersonate a contact's voice during a call.

      Google's fake call detection marks the first instance of a smartphone platform implementing a real-time cryptographic safeguard against AI voice cloning scams.

      While advancements in AI benefit various individuals, they also have drawbacks. One prominent concern is AI voice cloning, which has advanced to a level where many people can no longer distinguish a deepfake voice from an authentic one. Scammers are aware of this and have been pretending to be users’ contacts by cloning their voices to commit financial fraud. Android's new fake call detection feature is designed to prevent such scenarios before they lead to losses.

      Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X2 Elite has finally entered the mini PC market, mirroring Windows’ response to the Mac mini.

      For the past two years, Qualcomm's Snapdragon X series has been primarily utilized in notebooks. These chips have provided impressive battery life and surprisingly competitive performance, but they hadn’t previously challenged compact desktop systems like Apple's Mac mini or the more robust Mac Studio. The Ascent QN10 changes this.

      Equipped with the 18-core Snapdragon X2 Elite processor and Qualcomm's integrated Adreno GPU, this compact desktop is also the first mini PC to offer 80 TOPS of AI performance through its dedicated Hexagon NPU. Consequently, ASUS is introducing a new form factor for Qualcomm's most advanced PC silicon.

      Amazon has announced the date for Prime Day sales, which will occur slightly earlier this year.

      For the first time, Amazon has moved Prime Day to June, strategically scheduling it just before the back-to-school season.

      Amazon Prime Day is returning, lasting four days once again, and for the first time in its history, it will commence in June rather than July. Therefore, if you spent last summer waiting until mid-July for discounts, you now have about two weeks less to decide.
