iRocks previews tri-mode and 8000 Hz keyboards for COMPUTEX 2026

iRocks used its COMPUTEX 2026 preview to sell more than keyboards. The company framed its booth as a “lifestyle and performance ecosystem,” with magnetic switch keyboards, ergonomic chairs, ergonomic mice, and mechanical keyboards all under one roof. For mech-keyboard readers, that pitch mattered less as branding than as a filter: the real question was which boards brought something new to typing, wireless use, or switch tuning, and which were just part of a broader desk bundle.

The strongest enthusiast hook was the K114H. iRocks positioned it as a precision CNC all-aluminum board with dual-mode wireless connectivity, hot-swappable design, adjustable key actuation, and up to 8,000 Hz polling. It also supports interchangeable magnetic switches compatible with selected Kailh switches, which puts it squarely in the lane of users who care about responsiveness and experimentation rather than only looks. In a Computex season crowded with “fast” keyboards, that combination of magnetic-switch compatibility and 8 kHz polling is the spec sheet that will get attention.

The K112R aimed at a different part of the keyboard crowd. It uses proprietary switches and a gasket-mounted structure, a pairing that points toward a softer, more controlled typing feel than a rigid gaming board. iRocks added tri-mode connectivity, a new surround ambient lighting design, and a dedicated mode-switch button for jumping between work and gaming profiles in software. That makes the K112R less extreme than the K114H, but potentially more practical for users who want one board to live on a desk all day.

The K85R PRO brought collector appeal into the mix. iRocks described it as a tri-mode mechanical keyboard built around its flagship wireless keyboard family, with Shirakami Fubuki-inspired design elements tied to a hololive collaboration. A separate Taiwanese report said the K85R collaboration would launch June 1, cost NT$4,990, and be limited to 1,000 sets, with a bundle that includes a carrying case, replacement keycaps, a mouse pad, and a keychain. For fans of themed boards, that is the kind of limited run that turns a keyboard into merch, not just hardware.

That is where iRocks’ booth strategy starts to make sense. COMPUTEX draws a huge crowd of hardware buyers and industry professionals in Taipei, and iRocks, a Taiwanese peripheral brand sold worldwide, clearly wanted to show that it can speak to gamers, office users, and enthusiasts at the same time. For keyboard readers, though, the takeaway is narrower: the lifestyle pitch is mostly framing, while the K114H and K112R are the boards that suggest real movement in typing feel, wireless performance, and switch technology.
