Two new mechanical keyboards have entered the market, one from HP aimed at gamers and general desktop users, and another from Glorious targeting buyers who want a compact, budget-friendly option.
According to TechPowerUp, HP has launched the GT06, a full-size mechanical keyboard supporting an 8,000 Hz polling rate. It offers wired, 2.4 GHz wireless, and Bluetooth connectivity, and carries a 106-key layout with a gasket-mounted structure and seven layers of internal padding. Buyers can choose between Kailh, Seiya, or Feather switches, and the board uses double-shot PBT keycaps with RGB backlighting and 16 lighting effects. It also supports Music Rhythm Lighting Effect 3.0 and includes a multifunction knob on the right side for volume control and one-click mute. A 12,000 mAh battery is rated for up to 30 days of use, though HP does not specify the conditions required to reach that figure. Two-stage adjustable feet allow users to change the typing angle, and configuration is available through web-based software or a dedicated client driver. The GT06 is currently sold in China through JD.com for 310 yuan, roughly $43. International availability and pricing have not been announced.
