PC peripheral makers are racing to deliver high-polling-rate, magnetic-switch keyboards aimed at competitive gamers and enthusiasts. Asus’s TUF/Tianxuan TX75 debuts a 75% gasket-mounted board with TTC “Flame Yellow” magnetic switches, 8kHz wired/2.4GHz modes, aluminum top, PBT keycaps, side RGB and a large battery for long wireless life, positioned as a feature-rich compact option. Keychron’s Q11 Ultra brings 8kHz to a split, three-mode design with hot-swappable switches, CNC aluminum case and long battery runtime for power users. ASUS’s broader launch lineup and pre-release teasers show the company doubling down on magnetic-switch peripherals to expand its gaming ecosystem.
High-polling-rate magnetic-switch keyboards change latency and customization expectations for competitive gaming and pro typing workflows. Tech professionals should track ecosystem moves, supply of new switches, and wireless performance trade-offs for product development and integration.

ASUS will release the TUF Gaming (天选) TX75 wireless 75% magnetic-sensor keyboard tonight at 20:00, priced at ¥899 and discounted to ¥764.15 after a 15% subsidy. The TX75 uses TTC Flare Yellow magnetic switches, double-shot PBT keycaps, and 0.01mm Rapid Trigger precision. It offers triple-mode connectivity (USB-C, Bluetooth, 2.4GHz) with up to 8 kHz polling in USB/2.4GHz and a 10,000mAh battery that can last about 10 days at 1 kHz 2.4GHz operation. Hardware highlights include an aluminum top cover, dual side lightbars, gasket mount with five-layer sound-dampening, per-key RGB, a volume knob, and RT one-key mode switching—features targeted at gamers and keyboard enthusiasts.
TTC has launched the new Flame Yellow 'Wan Ciwang' magnetic switch, which debuts in ASUS TUF Gaming (Tianxuan) TX 75 keyboards and is sold separately at ¥5.9 per switch. The switch uses a one-piece large key, permanent magnet sensing, PC top cover, 21mm spring and ventilated button and base to stabilize stem movement, reduce noise, and mitigate temperature drift affecting input detection. It claims compatibility with most magnetic-switch PCB layouts, a lifespan of 100 million actuations, 3.4±0.2mm total travel, initial force 35±10gf, and magnetic flux specs. The product targets mechanical/magnetic keyboard builders and OEMs seeking durable, low-drift switches.
Asus announced the TUF/Tianxuan TX75 magnetic-switch gaming keyboard, a 75% compact board priced at ¥899, emphasizing an 8kHz polling rate and TTC "Flame Yellow" magnetic switches. The TX75 features a gasket mount, aluminum top cover, PBT double-shot OEM keycaps, side RGB light strips and a dedicated multimedia "battle knob" for volume, mute and tournament-mode toggles.

The model targets competitive gamers seeking high polling rates and magnetic switch feel in a compact, feature-rich package.
Keychron has launched the Q11 Ultra 8K, a significant upgrade to its Q11 split 75% keyboard that adds three-mode connectivity and removes the tether between halves for freer use. The Q11 Ultra runs ZMK firmware, packs a 4,000 mAh battery with about 300 hours of runtime, and supports an 8 kHz polling rate. Hardware highlights include a CNC aluminum case, six-layer acoustic damping, PC plate, hot-swappable PCB with south-facing RGB, preinstalled Keychron Silk POM switches, and KSA high-profile PBT double-shot keycaps. The split keyboard targets power users and enthusiasts and is priced at $239.99 (~¥1,636). It matters for peripherals and mechanical keyboard markets focused on wireless, modular, and high-performance features.
ASUS announced it will unveil a new TUF (Tiān Xuǎn) magnetic-switch keyboard at a launch event tonight at 19:00, promoted with the slogan “amphibious magnetic switches, one-key evolution.” Early commentary and leaks indicate the keyboard will likely use genuine TTC magnetic switches. The announcement accompanies a broader May 8 product slate including TUF/TX 7 Pro and Pro Max gaming laptops, the TUF Gaming Router 2 Pro (TX-BE5000), and a themed Lo Tianyi collaboration. This signals ASUS expanding its TUF gaming peripherals lineup with magnetic-switch keyboards—appealing to gamers seeking novel switch tech and strengthening ASUS’s ecosystem of gaming laptops, routers, and branded accessories.
