Turtle Beach Command Series Mice & Keyboards Launched with 8K Polling Support

Turtle Beach has launched its new Command Series, bringing a few gaming mice and keyboards with it. These devices focus on built-in controls, faster response rates, and small display features on the hardware itself. The lineup includes two wireless mice and two keyboards, with most settings handled directly on the device instead of through software.

Mice: MC7 and MC5

The mouse lineup includes the MC7 and MC5, both built for low-latency wireless performance with high polling rates.

The MC7 carries a 2.25-inch Command Touch display integrated into the mouse body, allowing direct control over DPI, macros, system stats, and streaming tools. It supports tri-mode connectivity, including 2.4GHz wireless, Bluetooth, and wired USB. A dual-battery setup with hot-swappable support works alongside a charging dock to keep usage uninterrupted.

Performance centers on a 30K DPI Owl-Eye optical sensor with polling rates up to 8000Hz and latency as low as 0.125ms. Specifications listed on pages 5–6 show up to 750 IPS tracking speed, Titan optical switches, and support for up to 33 programmable inputs.

The MC5 removes the touchscreen and focuses on physical controls while keeping the same 30K DPI sensor and 8K polling support. It offers up to 29 programmable functions and a 4D scroll wheel with vertical and horizontal actions. Battery life reaches up to 40 hours under high-performance use, based on product details on page 5. Optical switches rated for 150 million clicks and onboard profiles are also included.

Keyboards: KB7 and KB5

The keyboard lineup includes the KB7 and KB5, with different layouts and switch types but similar focus on onboard control and responsiveness.

The KB7 uses Hall Effect magnetic switches with adjustable actuation and includes a 4.3-inch Command Touch display on the right side. It supports rapid trigger input and up to 8000Hz polling, with a switch lifespan rated at 100 million keystrokes, according to specifications on pages 5–6. The tenkeyless layout leaves more desk space for mouse movement, and the design supports modular accessories.

The KB5 uses a full-size layout with low-profile mechanical switches and includes a 2.4-inch display for macros, lighting, and media controls. It adds dedicated macro keys, a top-mounted volume control, double-shot PBT keycaps, and an aluminum-reinforced structure. Specifications on page 6 confirm 8K polling support and per-key RGB customization.
