CHERRY XTRFY has introduced the K33 Compact Wireless, a compact gaming keyboard designed for entry-level users looking for wireless connectivity and a mechanical-style typing experience at a more accessible price point. It is intended to bring core gaming features into a simpler and more space-efficient design suited to both gaming and everyday use.
The K33 Compact Wireless is a 75% layout keyboard offering three connection modes: 2.4 GHz wireless, Bluetooth and USB. This allows it to be used across a range of devices, with straightforward switching between setups such as desktop PCs, laptops and mobile devices, without the need to re-pair each time. The wireless options are designed to support both gaming and general use, depending on the selected mode.
The keyboard supports a 1000 Hz polling rate when used in 2.4 GHz wireless mode, aimed at delivering stable and responsive input performance, helping ensure accurate input during fast-paced gameplay.
The 75% layout is designed to provide a compact format while retaining essential functionality. Selected shortcut functions for media control and lighting adjustments are included, alongside dedicated Windows and Mac modes for use across different systems.
For typing, the K33 uses “mem-chanical” switch technology, which combines elements of mechanical and membrane designs. The aim is to provide consistent keystrokes with feedback similar to a mechanical keyboard, while maintaining quieter operation and a more accessible price point.
The keyboard carries an IP54 rating, offering protection against dust ingress and light splashes. At 630 grams, it is designed to remain stable on the desk during use, while still being light enough to move between setups if required.
RGB backlighting is included, with seven lighting effects available. A light guide system beneath the keycaps helps distribute illumination more evenly across the keyboard, reducing uneven brightness and supporting clear visibility in low-light conditions.
The CHERRY XTRFY K33 Compact Wireless is available now at a retail price of £49.99.
