Huawei’s sub-brand Honor has partnered
with Cherry and has launched a new mechanical keyboard that is touted to have
features like artificial intelligence (AI), GPU Turbo and a few other features.
The keyboard, which has a black base, comes in two color options. While one
color option has keycaps in black, blue, purple and white, the other color
option features the color gradient from purple to blue, covering all the
keycaps.
It seems that the new keyboard coming from
Honor is a customised version of the Cherry MX Board 8.0 (G80-3888) and comes
with the “Arms Box” packaging that also has RGB backlight. The difference is
that the primary color of the package is now black.
The Chinese company has not yet revealed
much information about this keyboard. However, since Honor has partnered with
Cherry and the keyboard is a customised version of the existing offer from the
brand, it’s obvious that it comes with Cherry keys.
While this keyboard uses the Cherry Red
keys, it remains to be seen if the company release the keyboard with option for
other type of keys as well. The pricing details is yet to be made official but
given that the Cherry MX Board 8.0 is priced around 1,800 yuan (US$ 253) to 1,900
yuan (US$ 267), we expect the similar pricing for this Honor mechanical keyboard
as well. It seems that to know for sure, we’ll have to wait for a few more
days.
