This new Cherry gaming keyboard is a speed demon, but costs an eye-watering $299

Keyboard keyswitch stalwart, Cherry, is back with a new premium gaming keyboard, the Xtrfy MX 8.3 TKL Wireless. It includes an LCD display and has a lot of the features we've come to expect in a high-end board, including an 8,000Hz polling rate, tri-mode connectivity, and hot-swappable switches, but it's also curiously missing other popular features like adjustable actuation and rapid trigger, which brings its $299 price point into the spotlight.

On specs alone, the Cherry Xtrfy MX 8.3 has every chance of earning a slot on our buying guide to the best gaming keyboard. However, value is of course a determining factor in our decision-making process, and $299 is a lot to spend on a keyboard, especially when it's arguably missing a few features and appears to not use premium build materials such as aluminum.
