CHERRY XTRFY K63W Pro Compact Ultra-Wideband
The world's first gaming keyboard to combine Ultra-Wideband wireless with an 8,000 Hz polling rate, built in a compact 70% low-profile gasket-mounted layout. It pairs CHERRY MX Low Profile 2.0 switches with a 6,000 mAh battery rated for up to 1,100 hours of use.
AI score breakdown
scored as keyboardsIts biggest strength is latency: an 8,000 Hz polling rate over both wired USB-C and novel Ultra-Wideband wireless with a huge 6000mAh/1100-hour battery makes it a category leader for responsiveness. Its biggest weakness is value and features—at $169.99 it ships with outdated ABS keycaps, no hot-swap, no QMK/VIA, and no Bluetooth, so the pricey UWB tech offers little practical payoff for most users.
The overall score is the weighted average of these criteria — not a separate judgement. AI-generated scores are not hands-on test results. Percentages show each criterion's weight for this product type.
