XTRFY Introduces PIXIU98 Tri-Mode Wireless Mechanical Keyboard with Racing-Themed Design
As the year draws to a close, Cherry's gaming brand XTRFY has unveiled the PIXIU98 Tri-Mode Wireless Mechanical Keyboard, building on the success of its predecessor, the PIXIU75. This latest release enhances its design and functionality, combining a racing-inspired aesthetic with advanced customization options to emphasize its gaming-focused attributes.
Themed Variants and Design
The PIXIU98 debuts in two striking themes: Flame Red (black and red accents) and Ice Flame Blue (blue and white tones). Both themes incorporate frosted fog-transparent keycaps, providing a visually appealing RGB lighting experience that surpasses the PIXIU75. Adding to the modern design is a full-color LCD display positioned in the upper-right corner, which allows users to customize the screen saver via software.
Performance and Connectivity
With an ultra-low input delay of less than 0.3 milliseconds and an 8000Hz polling rate, the PIXIU98 is engineered for high-speed gaming scenarios. The keyboard supports tri-mode connectivity, offering options for wired, Bluetooth, and 2.4GHz wireless modes. This versatility ensures compatibility across a wide range of devices and platforms.
Advanced Build and Comfort
The keyboard is constructed using a Gasket structure, designed to provide a comfortable and responsive typing experience. It features Poron foam, shock-absorbing gaskets, IXPE switch pads, PET acoustic layers, and sound-dampening bottom padding to minimize typing noise and improve acoustics.
Battery Life and Operating Modes
The PIXIU98 includes a 4000mAh battery, offering up to 1100 hours of use with RGB lighting and the LCD display turned off. This extended battery life makes it a practical option for gamers who value portability and long-lasting performance. Additionally, the FN+Enter key combination allows users to switch seamlessly between Windows and macOS modes.
Switch Options
The keyboard comes equipped with Cherry's second-generation MX Red Switch RGB and MX Tea Switch RGB, catering to different preferences for actuation force and tactile feedback. These switches are known for their durability and precise response, making them suitable for both gaming and everyday use.
