Thermalright has introduced two new low‑profile top‑flow CPU coolers, the AXP120‑X77 and AXP120‑X77R. Both models stand 77mm tall and use six 6mm heat pipes, targeting compact systems built around modern Intel and AMD sockets.

The two coolers share the same heatsink design but differ in fan placement. The standard AXP120‑X77 (via Cowcotland) mounts its 15mm‑thick TL‑B12015 EX fan on top of the fin stack. The AXP120‑X77R places the fan underneath the fins in a reverse configuration to maintain the same 77mm height, with top‑mounting still possible if additional clearance is available.

Both coolers ship with the TL‑B12015 EX fan, capable of speeds up to 3150RPM. Thermalright lists airflow at 83.61CFM, static pressure at 3.4mmAq and noise output at 37.07dB(A). Each model is available in standard or black variants, with colour accents matching the bundled fan.

Socket support includes Intel LGA115x, 1200, 1700, 1851 and 20xx platforms, as well as AMD AM4 and AM5. The reverse‑mounted X77R is aimed at builds with tighter vertical clearance, while the standard X77 offers more conventional top‑flow installation.

KitGuru Says: It has been a good while since I last saw a top-flow CPU cooler like this. Is this the sort of cooler you would go for in a small / compact build?

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.

The Huntsman V3 Pro Low‑profile Tenkeyless 8KHz is priced at £229.00 in the UK, $229.99 in the US and €259.99 in Europe.

KitGuru Says: Razer’s Huntsman V3 Pro line now includes a low‑profile option for those who prefer a slimmer chassis and adjustable analogue actuation.

Sharkoon has introduced the PureWriter W100, a new full‑size low‑profile keyboard offering dual‑mode connectivity and a focus on quiet, comfortable typing.

The PureWriter W100 can operate either wired over USB‑C or wirelessly via a 2.4 GHz connection, giving users flexibility between a clean wireless setup and a fixed desktop configuration. It uses a classic 3‑block layout with 104/105 keys, aimed at those who prefer a traditional full‑size design for work or everyday use.

Sharkoon has kept the PureWriter series’ ultra‑flat profile, pairing low‑profile ABS keycaps with an aluminium top plate for added rigidity. The keyboard uses Huano linear silent switches rated for 50 million actuations, with a 1.4 mm actuation point and a 40 g operating force, designed to deliver quiet, consistent keystrokes during long typing sessions.

The W100 includes RGB lighting with adjustable effects, onboard memory for profiles, N‑key rollover support and a dedicated volume wheel. A 2,000 mAh battery provides up to 160 hours of use in wireless mode, and the keyboard supports Windows PCs as well as PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5.

The PureWriter W100 is available starting this week, priced around €59.90.

KitGuru Says: Sharkoon’s PureWriter keyboards have always appealed to fans of low‑profile designs, and the W100 adds wireless flexibility and a few modern touches without changing the core feel.

Catering to the small form factor PC market, Gigabyte has released a low-profile version of its GeForce RTX 5060 card. The RTX 5060 OC LP delivers all of the performance of a full-sized card, but in half the volume

Asus's ProArt series is expanding with its first keyboard. Named ProArt KD300, this is a 65% wireless keyboard that trades the aggressive aesthetic of the ROG line for a sophisticated “Black Aerolite” finish aimed at designers and office professionals.

While similar to the ROG Falchion RX Low Profile, including using the same Asus RX Red optical switches with a 1.0 mm actuation point, the KD300 (via NotebookCheck) relocates the signature touch panel to the rear of the chassis to maintain a clean, distraction-free top plate. This positioning allows for a sleek aluminium top cover while still providing gesture-based controls for volume, brightness, and creative macros through the web-based AsusGear Link interface.

Connectivity-wise, the keyboard supports tri-mode connectivity for up to 5 devices simultaneously via 2.4 GHz wireless, Bluetooth, and USB-C. To further enhance functionality, Asus has included a dedicated PC/Mac toggle switch and integrated storage for the wireless dongle in its injection-moulded plastic base. The device is powered by a 4,000 mAh battery, which the company claims can last 16 months on a single charge with the backlighting disabled, or around 100 days with the RGB running at full brightness.

The typing experience is designed to be both responsive and quiet, featuring dual layers of integrated silicone-damping foam to absorb the metallic pings often found on compact mechanical boards. Currently, the ProArt KD300 has officially launched in the Chinese market for CNY 999 (approximately £107).

KitGuru says: Do you prefer the more understated looks of the KD300 or the gamified aesthetics of the ROG Falchion RX?
