Glorious has released the GMMK Eternal, a wired mechanical gaming keyboard using a compact 96% layout with hot‑swappable switch support. The board ships with Glorious Fox linear switches and includes three internal layers of sound dampening.
The keyboard connects using a detachable USB‑A‑to‑C cable, and its hot‑swap PCB supports both 5‑pin and 3‑pin MX‑style switches, so you can swap to whichever mechanical switches you prefer. Stock units ship with Glorious Fox linear switches, which offer a 50–60g actuation force and are rated for 50 million clicks. Glorious uses OEM‑profile double‑shot ABS keycaps with shine‑through legends, giving the board a familiar feel for anyone used to standard ABS gaming keyboards.
The casing combines an aluminium top plate with an ABS bottom shell, with two‑stage flip‑out feet for angle adjustment. Inside, three layers of dampening are used to reduce hollow noise, including a molded silicone pad and two sheets of PU foam. The 96% layout keeps the numpad and function row while freeing up desk space, and users can customise keycaps, switches and the cable if they want to personalise the keyboard further.
Glorious Core, the company’s Windows‑only software, handles per‑key RGB lighting, key remapping and macro recording. The keyboard is also compatible with macOS, ChromeOS and consoles. The GMMK Eternal is priced at £89.99 in the UK.
KitGuru Says: Are you considering the GMMK Eternal for your next keyboard upgrade?
Wooting has announced the 80HE+ TKL keyboard, introducing the new Lekker Large knob alongside several hardware updates first seen on the 60HE V2, including a stiffer FR4 plate, refined acoustic dampening and updated switch options.
According to TechPowerUp, pricing for preassembled 80HE+ models matches the existing 80HE line, while the module version is priced lower and includes a daughterboard for custom builds. Prebuilt zinc models now ship with a 4u Lekker Large knob, and ABS buyers can purchase the knob separately at a reduced price. Wooting has also revised its zinc‑coating process to improve durability following earlier finishing issues.
The updated design uses a stiffer FR4 plate and new Lekker Tikken switches with a closed‑bottom housing for a more muted sound profile. A split spacebar layout in a 2.75/1.25/2.25u configuration is available exclusively for the 80HE+ module at launch. Wooting has also added a dark translucent top case for the ABS Dark variant, along with a fully assembled Frost option.
Pre‑orders for the 80HE+ range open on September 17th, with shipping scheduled for mid‑October.
KitGuru says: Did you try the original Wooting 80HE? Do you think the changes are worth the upgrade to the 80HE+ model?
Razer is moving into the custom‑mechanical keyboard market with the Reclusa X Mini 65%, the first entry in a new lineup built around hot‑swappable hardware and enthusiast‑grade components. The compact 65% wired board uses factory‑lubricated Razer Orange Gen‑3 tactile switches and a hot‑swappable PCB supporting standard 3‑pin and 5‑pin switches.
The Reclusa X Mini 65% includes dual‑layer silicone dampening to reduce hollow noise and resonance. Above the plate, the keyboard uses double‑shot ABS keycaps with a tri‑colour finish. South‑facing LEDs improve aftermarket keycap compatibility and support per‑key Razer Chroma RGB lighting.
The keyboard operates at a wired 1000Hz polling rate and integrates with Razer Synapse. Input controls include Razer Snap Tap, Snap Flex and Dual‑Keypress Priority. The Reclusa X Mini 65% will be available for £59.99/$49.99/€69.99 in US, UK, German, French and Italian layouts.
Razer says the Reclusa series is aimed at users who want a pre‑assembled board with room for customisation. More models are planned for the lineup down the line, so maybe we will eventually see TKL and full-size options.
KitGuru says: With the Reclusa X Mini, Razer is offering users an affordable, hot-swappable 65% keyboard that can serve as the foundation for further upgrades.
Razer has added a new compact keyboard to its lineup with the Reclusa X Mini 65%, a mechanical gaming keyboard aimed at users who want a good typing feel out of the box but also want the freedom to customize it later.
The new keyboard is the first model in Razer’s Reclusa family. It combines a smaller 65% layout with hot swap support, tuned acoustics, RGB lighting and several Razer gaming features. The company says the idea behind the lineup is simple: give users a keyboard that feels ready to use from day one while leaving plenty of room for personal changes.
A Compact Keyboard With a Ready to Use Design
The Razer Reclusa X Mini 65% comes with Razer Orange Tactile Mechanical Switches Gen 3 already installed. These switches are designed to provide a noticeable tactile bump while keeping the sound of each keypress quieter.
Razer has also factory lubricated the switches to help make the keys feel smoother and more consistent during everyday use.
Inside the keyboard, Razer uses a dual layer silicone dampening setup. This helps reduce unwanted noise and vibration from the case, giving the keyboard a more controlled sound when typing or gaming.
The keyboard also comes with doubleshot ABS keycaps. Their three tone design gives the board a distinct look, while the doubleshot construction is designed to keep the legends clear over time.
Hot Swap Support Makes Customization Easier
One of the biggest features of the Reclusa X Mini 65% is its hot swappable PCB. Users can replace the included switches without soldering, making it easier to change how the keyboard feels and sounds.
The PCB supports most standard 3 pin and 5 pin mechanical switches. That gives enthusiasts plenty of options if they eventually want to move away from the stock switches.
Razer has also positioned the keyboard as a board that can change with the user instead of requiring major modifications from the start.
RGB Lighting and Aftermarket Keycap Support
The Reclusa X Mini 65% includes south facing LEDs, which can provide better compatibility with a wider selection of aftermarket keycaps.
Per key Razer Chroma RGB lighting is also included. Users can choose from 16.8 million colors and a range of lighting effects through Razer’s software.
This gives the keyboard some extra flexibility for users who want to match it with the rest of their gaming setup.
Razer Adds Competitive Gaming Features
Despite its focus on customization, the Reclusa X Mini 65% is still built primarily as a gaming keyboard.
Razer includes features such as Snap Tap, Snap Flex and Dual Keypress Priority. These are designed to give players more control over their inputs, particularly in fast paced games where quick directional changes and precise key presses can matter.
The keyboard uses a wired connection with a 1000 Hz polling rate and works with Razer Synapse for configuration and customization.
The First Step in the Reclusa Lineup
The Reclusa X Mini 65% is the first announced keyboard in Razer’s new Reclusa family. The company says a standard Reclusa Mini 65% is also planned, with additional models expected to follow.
Rather than focusing only on gaming performance, Razer appears to be targeting enthusiasts who care about the complete keyboard experience, including sound, key feel, appearance and the ability to modify the board later.
For buyers who want a compact mechanical gaming keyboard that already comes with a tuned setup but does not lock them into the factory configuration, the Reclusa X Mini 65% offers an interesting combination of features.
Razer has introduced a new special‑edition Huntsman V3 Pro Tenkeyless 8KHz, created in partnership with esports organisation Sentinels.
The Sentinels Edition is the second product to come out of the Razer x Sentinels collaboration. It uses a red anodised aluminium top plate paired with black doubleshot PBT keycaps, matching the team’s red‑and‑black colour scheme. Beyond the cosmetic changes, the keyboard retains the same compact tenkeyless layout and competitive focus as the standard Huntsman V3 Pro TKL.
Inside, the keyboard uses Razer Analog Optical Switches Gen‑2 and supports 8000Hz HyperPolling. Rapid Trigger is included, along with movement‑focused input options such as Snap Flex, Snap Tap, Dual‑Keypress Priority and Dynamic Keystroke. Profiles and settings can be adjusted directly on the keyboard or through Razer Synapse Web, which allows configuration without installing desktop software.
The Huntsman V3 Pro Tenkeyless 8KHz Sentinels Edition is available now starting at £249.99 / $219.99 / €269.99 in a US layout.
KitGuru says: Razer has always had strong ties to the esports world. Are there any other teams you would like to see get exclusive colourways for Razer peripherals?
Gaming peripheral brand Attack Shark has announced the R86 HE Carbon Fiber Magnetic Switch gaming keyboard, scheduled for release on September 7th.
Built around a 75% layout with 82 keys, the R86 HE keyboard combines a carbon fibre composite top case, an 8000Hz polling rate, and custom Huano Glass Jade magnetic switches. Performance handling relies on a custom esports chipset that delivers 256K scanning and an 8000Hz polling rate, enabling response times down to 0.08ms.
Attack Shark claims a 0.005mm Rapid Trigger precision for key actuation and resets. The board also offers full-key RGB lighting and dual-side dynamic light strips. Adjustments for key remapping, switch profiles, and lighting effects are managed via web-based or desktop software.
Structurally, the chassis features a carbon fibre composite top case, anodised CNC aluminium alloy side accents, and matching carbon fibre keycaps. Internal damping uses a five-layer stack comprising PE foam, IXPE switch pads, PET acoustic film, switch socket foam, and bottom silicone padding to minimise case resonance. A fibreglass positioning plate houses the Huano Glass Jade switches, which support independent curve tuning alongside compatibility with other magnetic switch types.
KitGuru says: How much thought do you put into minimising latency when picking new gaming peripherals?
Turtle Beach has announced the Vulcan II XP Full-Size Mechanical RGB Gaming Keyboard, updating its low-profile lineup with hot-swappable switches and SOCD input technology.
Turtle Beach's new Vulcan II XP supports both 3-pin and 5-pin hot-swappable switches. By default, the keyboard comes equipped with Titan HS mechanical switches, and you can select factory pre-lubricated linear switches for smooth keystrokes or tactile switches for light tactile feedback, both rated for 50 million keystrokes. Internal sound-damping foam and pre-lubed stabilisers work alongside the switches to reduce typing noise and board vibration.
Other gaming-oriented features include full N-Key Rollover, anti-ghosting, and ReacTap SOCD, which prioritises the most recent directional input for counter-strafing – just don't use it in Counter-Strike 2, because Valve has banned it. Easy-Shift[+] allows secondary key assignments and macros, while Game Mode locks the Windows key to avoid accidental presses while gaming. A dedicated multi-function media wheel provides volume adjustment, push-to-mute, and navigation. Once you set everything up, you can save up to five setting profiles to the board itself, so you can carry your preferences across different PCs. All software adjustments are handled through Turtle Beach's Swarm II software.
The keyboard is built to last thanks to its brushed aluminium frame, and you get per-key RGB lighting too with native Windows Dynamic Lightning support, so your LEDs can change based on the content running. For connectivity, you get a detachable USB-C cable. In the box, you'll also find a detachable wrist rest.
Pre-orders have already opened up, ahead of full retail availability on October 25th. The Turtle Beach Vulan II XP will cost £119.99/$149.99/€129.99 at launch.
KitGuru says: Do you prefer a low-profile keyboard design, or are you happy with standard sizes?
Razer has announced the Razer Xbox 25 Anniversary Collection, a limited-edition peripheral lineup created in collaboration with Xbox to mark the brand's 25th anniversary.

Razer has introduced the Huntsman V3 Pro Low‑profile Tenkeyless 8KHz, a slimmer TKL variant of its analogue optical esports keyboard. The board uses new low‑profile switches and supports adjustable actuation alongside an 8,000Hz polling rate.
The keyboard uses Razer’s Low‑profile Analog Optical Switches, offering adjustable actuation from 0.1mm to 2.8mm, with Rapid Trigger Mode for faster key resets. Total travel sits at 2.8mm, and the front height measures 19.5mm to reduce wrist angle. Razer claims the board can achieve an average latency of 0.39ms at 0.1mm actuation when paired with its 8,000Hz polling mode.
Advanced input features from the full‑height Huntsman V3 Pro also carry over. Razer Snap Flex enables separate press and release bindings, while Dynamic Keystroke allows up to four actions on a single key based on actuation depth. The switches are pre‑lubricated and sit on internal dampening to soften impact noise. Profiles save directly to onboard memory, with further configuration available through Razer Synapse Web.
Yunzii has launched the Yunzii IF68, a compact 65% wireless mechanical keyboard featuring a built-in TFT display, QMK/VIA support, and gasket-mount construction.
The IF68 keyboard features a 63-key layout paired with a multifunction control dial. Replacing the traditional navigation keys found on the company's AL68 model, an integrated 200×480 TFT screen displays custom images, animated GIFs, or pre-loaded graphics. Inside, a gasket-mount structure uses multiple damping layers to reduce typing noise.
Yunzii equips the board with south-facing RGB lighting, double-shot PBT Cherry profile keycaps, and a hot-swappable PCB accepting both 3-pin and 5-pin switches. Users can select between Milk V2 or Candy linear switches across black, beige, and pink colourways. Customisation covers full QMK/VIA key remapping alongside N-key rollover for precise inputs.
Tri-mode connectivity supports USB-C, 2.4GHz wireless, and Bluetooth. Power comes from an 8000mAh battery, which Yunzii states delivers up to 30 hours of runtime with RGB and screen features active, or up to 23 days with both disabled. The keyboard is available now priced at $84.99.
KitGuru says: Packing an 8000mAh battery, a customisable display, and tri-mode connectivity into an $85 package makes this one an interesting pick for enthusiasts.
Razer has announced the Huntsman V3 HE Magnetic 8KHz line, expanding its gaming keyboard range with more options featuring Hall Effect magnetic switches and true 8000Hz polling. Available in Tenkeyless and Mini 65% form factors, the keyboards introduce new input controls alongside browser-based customisation.
Razer equips the Huntsman V3 HE Magnetic 8KHz series with Hall Effect magnetic switches, allowing users to adjust key actuation points between 0.1mm and 4.0mm. The switches support Rapid Trigger Mode for dynamic key resets during rapid inputs, alongside a rated 100-million-keystroke life span. With a true 8,000Hz polling rate, Razer claims an average latency of 0.60ms at a 0.1mm actuation setting.
On the software side, the keyboards support advanced input features such as Razer Snap Flex, which assigns separate press and release commands to a single key. Dynamic Keystroke maps up to four actions to one key press depending on actuation depth, while Dual-Keypress Priority prevents unintended directional movement. Customisation can be done via Razer Synapse software, onboard memory, or Synapse Web, a browser-based utility that requires no local software installation.
Both models are now available, with the 65% model starting at £119.99/$119.99/€129.99 and the Tenkeyless at £139.99/$139.99/€149.99.
KitGuru says: Razer's inclusion of browser-based Synapse Web control alongside 8000Hz polling and adjustable HE magnetic switches brings welcome flexibility to setups. Of the two models, which one would you prefer?
