New Cherry Xtrfy K33 Compact features ‘mem-chanical’ switches

Cherry Xtrfy announced the K33 Compact Wireless, a 75% layout gaming keyboard designed as an accessible entry point for gamers. The keyboard features tri-mode connectivity and “Mem-chanical” switch technology, aiming to balance mechanical-like feedback with a membrane design.

The K33 Compact Wireless supports 2.4GHz wireless, Bluetooth, and USB wired connections, allowing for quick switching between multiple devices. It maintains a 1000Hz polling rate for low-latency input transmission across all connection modes. The 75% form factor is designed to save desk space while retaining essential keys, including dedicated media control shortcuts and an integrated Win/Mac toggle.

The keyboard has an IP54 rating, providing protection against dust and splashes of liquid. The 630g chassis houses “Mem-chanical” switches, which Cherry Xtrfy describes as offering quiet and precise tactile feedback. Visual customisation is provided via multimodal RGB lighting with seven dynamic effects, utilising a light guide panel to ensure even illumination across the keycaps.

The keyboard is built for stable, everyday use and integrates a light-guiding system to eliminate lighting hotspots. It is available now at a suggested retail price of €59.99.

KitGuru says: The K33 Compact Wireless is positioned as a flexible solution for users requiring a compact setup that can transition between gaming and mobile productivity. However, for its price, some users will likely prefer something of the same size with mechanical switches.
