CHERRY Announces MX8.3 Tri-Mode Wireless Mechanical Keyboard with Alum

CHERRY has officially introduced its latest mechanical keyboard, the MX8.3, designed to offer high-performance functionality with a sleek and durable design. Building on the legacy of its 8-series keyboards, the MX8.3 incorporates several advanced features, including a tri-mode wireless connection, an aluminum alloy body, an LCD color screen, and an 8KHz polling rate.

The MX8.3's 95% aluminum alloy construction is one of its standout aspects, providing a robust and premium feel. The anodized surface further enhances its durability and aesthetics. CHERRY also equipped the keyboard with a metal rotating bracket and RGB backlighting to offer users a customizable lighting experience. In terms of design, the keyboard is available in two distinct color options: Spacetime Gold and Meteoric Gray, providing a balance of modern and classic styling.

A significant upgrade to the traditional 8-series, the MX8.3 introduces an optimized gasket structure that improves the keyboard’s stability and typing experience. Another feature that sets it apart is the inclusion of an LCD color screen, a rare addition to CHERRY’s lineup, which can display essential information and offers enhanced functionality. A front-facing knob further enhances control options, allowing for easy adjustments.

In terms of performance, the MX8.3 is equipped with CHERRY's MX2A switches, which are designed to provide a smooth typing experience and reliable actuation. The keyboard supports full-key hot-swapping, enabling users to replace switches without needing to disassemble the entire unit. Additionally, it features full-key anti-ghosting, ensuring accurate keypresses, even during intense typing or gaming sessions.

One of the key highlights of the MX8.3 is its tri-mode connectivity, allowing users to switch between wireless, Bluetooth, and wired modes. The wireless mode is particularly impressive, offering a polling rate of 8KHz and a wireless delay of less than 1 millisecond, ensuring a near-instant response for both typing and gaming applications. The keyboard also comes with a built-in 4600 mAh battery, providing extended usage on a single charge.

With its combination of a durable aluminum body, advanced mechanical switches, and modern features like an LCD color screen and low-latency wireless performance, the CHERRY MX8.3 stands out as a versatile mechanical keyboard for both enthusiasts and professionals. The inclusion of six layers of sound reduction adds to the typing comfort, making it a well-rounded choice for those looking for high-performance mechanical keyboards with modern aesthetics.
