It's been a while since we last reviewed a Vortexgear keyboard so I wasn't surprised to see a brand new keyboard line from the brand. While the TKL Multix keyboards in its various colorways were new to me, they weren't new launches necessarily. Instead, Vortex used its presence at Computex to show off the new PC66 QMK, which is also available as a barebones kit. This uses a thick ABS plastic chassis and a gasket mount structure to put out a vintage aesthetic-inspired 65% keyboard that uses external batteries for wireless connectivity as well. We also saw the M0110 that comes as a wired open-source firmware keyboard or triple-mode wireless keyboard and uses either an HHKB-style layout or a more traditional 60% layout with a 6.25u space bar. There was also the Vortex x KBtalKing (a Chinese keyboard community) collab keyboard called the One 4 which is a full-size wireless keyboard up for pre-order now.

Intriguing also were new keyboard kits from Vortex that shifted away from plastic in favor of thick CNC-machined aluminium. The M0110A is an 1800 form factor keyboard kit that uses the smaller M0110 as the base for the feature set whereas the Model M and Model F77/F62 go more daring with the designs that are reminiscent of other popular keyboards on the market. I especially liked the Model M SSK with its curved top frame that makes for a visually different keyboard from the norm and Vortex says these kits will follow the pre-order/group buy purchase scheme soon, if not already by the time this news post is up.

Korean keyboard brand Leopold had a strong showing at Computex this year with a refreshed lineup of its keyboards for everyone to try. Leopold tends to sell different keyboards in different countries so it's hard to say which ones are brand new for the show, and thus I figured we briefly summarize the brand's offerings. The main takeaway I had is Leopold has decided to go with Cherry MX for all its mechanical keyboards and there will be fewer Topre keyboards going forward. The keyboards will also offer wireless connectivity wherever possible. Some keyboards also stray away from Leopold's classic black and white colors in favor of bolder, multi-tone themes. There are simply too many keyboards to individually list here, especially the absence of clarity on which ones will be sold where, so please take a look at the photos below, including past the break, and reach out to Leopold directly to express your interest if any caught your eye.

Editor's note: Our in-depth review of Endorfy Arx 700 Air is now live.

At Computex 2023, Endorfy has launched the Arx 700 Air and Arx 700 ARGB PC cases, designed with maximum cooling potential and easy component access. The cases accommodate a tall cooling system, up to 8 fans, and any current graphics card, with the Arx 700 Air featuring 5 Stratus 140 PWM fans and the Arx 700 ARGB including 4 illuminated Stratus 140 PWM ARGB fans. The design is minimalist, with a tempered glass side panel that allows internal component visibility. Both cases measure 486×228×472 mm (H×W×L) and support ATX, microATX, and ITX motherboards, with a graphics card clearance of 410 mm, CPU cooler clearance of 179 mm, and power supply clearance of 340 mm. They have 7 expansion slots and internal bays that include 1× 2.5"/3.5" and 6× 2.5". The cases can accommodate up to 8 fans and come with built-in dust filters. The front I/O includes 1× USB-C, 2× USB-A, 1× headphones (minijack 3.5 mm), 1× microphone (minijack 3.5 mm), and power and reset buttons. The Arx 700 Air and Arx 700 ARGB are priced at 109 and 119 EUR, respectively.

The Endorfy Arx 500 Air and Arx 500 ARGB are also shown; however, we don't have exact specifications yet, and we expect them to follow soon. Visually, we see that the 500 series is shorter than the 700 series. The cases are priced at 99 and 109 EUR, respectively.

Gamiac is a brand new gaming peripherals outfit - recently created by Pro Gamersware GmbH. The plucky crew debuted their product range at this year's Computex with the aim of demonstrating gaming devices that offer excellent quality, flexibility and great value for money. The headliners appear to be two mechanical keyboard models - TKL-87G (87 keys) and TKL-68G (68 keys) - both sport 19 RGB modes, Kailh hot-swappable switches and durable PBT keycaps. A variety of casing and keycap color schemes will be available at launch - Gamiac estimates that the TKL-87G and TKL-68G keyboards will be out before the end of 2023.

The young brand also presented their PX-71 super light gaming mouse at Computex - this fancy pointing device features a modular design, so users can configure between solid and honey-comb shells. An interchangeable switch system is installed on the mouse's PCB - providing the option to hot-swap out the primary (M1 + M2) buttons. The PX-71 is a wired gaming mouse with a maximum 16,000 DPI - this likely points to it packing a Pixart PAW 3335 or PMW 3360 optical sensor. Gamiac will provide full specifications, pricing and launch information at a later date.

One of the OEM superstars with mechanical gaming keyboards, Ducky Channel, released a vast lineup of keyboards across all known PC keyboard form-factors. We begin with a colorful set of Ducky x Faze Clan co-branded Ducky One Mini keyboards in the 60% layout, and the slightly larger Ducky One Mini in the 65% layout. There are several co-branded or themed variants of the One Mini 60%, including Sou Sou, Frozen Llama, and Faze Clan. We also spotted the full-size Ducky One 2 Keyboard co-branded with DJ Max, Ragnarok, Shiba Says, Dimanche (Alice in Wonderland), and the One 2 Pro co-branded with Neverland.

The larger One 2 keyboards feature Varmilo Iris Blue V2 EC switches with triggering pressure of 45 gf, and secture pressure of 60 gf, along with 19.5 mm springs that have factory lubrication. The One 2 Pro (Neverland) features stain-resistant R5 MDA keycaps, and factory-tuned stabilizers. The One Mini 60% Sou Sou comes with Cherry MX switches (Brown, Blue, Red, Silver, Black, and Silent, on offer).

The Keeb TKL by HYTE is possibly the most eye-catching keyboard designs at the 2023 Computex, probably because its design has callbacks to the iMac G4, with large acrylic frame elements. Unlike the G4, the Keeb actually puts its "glasshouse" to use with RGB LED lighting, particularly a 155-pixel qRGB. The keyboard uses Durock Creamy Yellow factory-calibrated linear switches, coupled with Durock V2 gold stabilizers. Finishing it is the double-shot shine-through PBT keycaps.

ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) today announced the Strix Scope II 96 Wireless gaming keyboard. Offering outstanding versatility, this compact keyboard features a 96% layout that retains all of the function and number keys found in a standard 100% keyboard, packed in a space-saving design. Gamers can pair the Strix Scope II 96 Wireless with up to three devices via Bluetooth. Users also have the option to use RF 2.4 GHz with ROG SpeedNova wireless technology and Omni Receiver, or a wired USB connection.

Pre-lubed, hot-swappable ROG NX Snow mechanical switches provide fast actuation, refined and linear keystrokes, and improved key stability. Built-in sound-dampening foam and a switch-dampening pad absorbs pinging noises and echoes to improve acoustics of the keyboard. Typing feel is exceptional as well, with pre-lubed, low-friction keyboard stabilizers enabling smoother keystrokes and stability for longer keys. The switches are topped with durable ROG PBT doubleshot keycaps or UV-coated ABS keycaps that offer premium feel and shine resistance. The Strix Scope II 96 Wireless will soon be joined by the Strix Scope II and Strix Scope II RX full-size gaming keyboards.

ASUS today announced the Marshmallow Keyboard, a compact and versatile wireless keyboard available in Oat Milk or Green Tea Latte finishes. Ideal for everyday computing, this durable keyboard features long-lasting up to 10-million-click switches, optimal scissor keys, and two-level adjustable kickstands. A pair of system switch keys enable effortless switching between Windows, ChromeOS, MacOS, iOS, and iPadOS modes.

Distinct colors
The ASUS Marshmallow Keyboard is available in striking Oat Milk or Green Tea Latte color schemes that stand out in a sea of black, beige or gray keyboards. In addition, essentials like the Spacebar, Enter, and Esc keys are in a darker shade for better visibility. These unique colors give ASUS Marshmallow Keyboard a smart, youthful look that perfectly complements ASUS Marshmallow Mouse MD100, as well as modern laptops, PCs, and tablets.

MONTECH, an innovative PC components and peripherals brand known for its PC case, cooling systems and power supply, is introducing its all-new mechanical keyboard collection—"MKey" featuring 2 colors: Freedom and Darkness, available in both full size and TKL keyboard. The MKey collection was inspired by the monumental Osaka Castle in Japan. Montech captures the magnificence of the Osaka Castle within the MKey's design, incorporating the roof's color accents as well as implementing a stable infrastructure. To complement the keyboard's aesthetic, two special sets of 4 Osaka Castle-themed custom keycaps are included in MKey Freedom and MKey Darkness.

The MKey collection is equipped with pre-lubed Gateron G Pro 2.0 switches for optimal smooth key actuation. MKey offers 3 switch options: Red, Yellow, Brown.

An evolution of the original Holy Panda, our Holy Panda X is a fully engineered mechanical switch with unrivaled consistency and authentic-yet-refined tactile feel. Now, we're making it available in hand-lubed packs for peerless performance right out of the box. Meticulously applying Krytox GPL105 on the springs and sides of each housing and stem, we've lent a hand in making the Holy Panda X even holier.

This is just the final step in a long journey, one that started when we departed from the original Holy Panda production process (disassembling two switches and combining their parts), working closely with Gateron and a few familiar faces to recreate the Holy Panda experience through a fully engineered product. With carefully selected components, the Holy Panda X feels incredibly similar to its predecessor, but with greatly reduced stem wobble and improved consistency across the board. Among tactile offerings, it's nothing short of a treasure—and you can only find it here, now hand-lubed for the first time.

At the heart of the remarkably slim KW X ULP are CHERRY MX Ultra Low Profile switches.

In the Windows operating system, the Print Screen keyboard command has been resulting in taking a screenshot for more than two decades. However, Microsoft will change the interaction by creating a screenshot in Windows 11 OS. Currently, when you press the Print Screen key, the entire window is captured, and your image gets saved, pasted to the clipboard and, if you have it enabled, the OneDrive folder too. In the latest Windows Insiders Beta Channel, the Windows 11 KB5025310 version is rolling out and changing the screenshot game. Instead of regular shots, pressing the Print Screen key now toggles the Snapping Tool, previously only used when Windows Key, Shift Key, and S key were pressed.

Microsoft is making it seem that the Snapping Tool now becomes the default screenshot tool, which is much more feature-rich compared to the traditional way of taking a screenshot. Of course, making a quick screenshot will still be favored by many. So, Microsoft has left an option to revert the future default setting by going into Settings > Accessibility > Keyboard, where you toggle off the button that says: "Use the Print Screen key to open Snipping Tool."

AQIRYS, the trending Romanian gaming brand, announces the launch of the newest gaming keyboard in the portfolio, ALUDRA, and the updated version of the original model, ALUDRA TKL.

In addition, they are just as quiet as the previous version, only this time factory lubricated and improved to reduce wobbliness, increase durability and enhance backlight transmission.

The Genesis Thor 303 TKL is a popular and valued mechanical keyboard from the middle price range.
