GXTrust Acira brings tri-mode wireless to a budget 60 percent keyboard

GXTrust turned the Acira into a useful budget test: how much enthusiast appeal can a 60 percent board keep once it adds tri-mode wireless without drifting into custom-board pricing? The answer, at least on paper, is a compact mechanical keyboard that keeps the footprint small, the feature set practical, and the asking price at €49.99.

Trust announced the Acira 60% Mini Tri-Mode Wireless Mechanical Gaming Keyboard on May 18, 2026, in Dordrecht, and listed the U.S. model as the GXT 873 Acira 60 Mini Tri-Mode Wireless Mechanical Gaming Keyboard. The board supports a USB-A receiver and two Bluetooth connections, and Trust includes a USB-C-to-A charging cable in the box. That gives the Acira the kind of connection flexibility many compact-keyboard buyers want for a desktop setup, a laptop bag, or a quick swap between work and play.

The 60 percent layout remains the main reason to care. Trust says the smaller footprint frees up desk space and improves mouse movement room, a point that lands hardest with competitive gaming setups where every millimeter counts. That is the tradeoff GXTrust is selling here: less board, more space, and enough wireless convenience to make the keyboard feel more versatile than a basic wired compact.

The Acira is not a fresh start so much as a continuation of the earlier model. Trust launched the Acira 60% Mini Mechanical Gaming Keyboard on April 8, 2024, under the GXT 867 name, and that version also carried a €49.99 price tag. Its product page listed Outemu red mechanical switches, full RGB illumination, and dual-function keys. Trust has also kept software and firmware resources available for the Acira line through its support pages, which helps the board feel less disposable than many budget releases.

The new tri-mode version does add one important limitation: Bluetooth is unavailable on PlayStation and Xbox. That is the kind of compromise buyers in this bracket will notice, but it also helps define the Acira’s lane. It is a small, straightforward mechanical board for players who want wireless flexibility, a compact 60 percent layout, and an entry price that still looks familiar beside the original Acira.
