Thunderobot Launches Hunter LS68 keyboard and Hunter Blade 60 Controller With 8KHz Polling

Thunderobot showed two upcoming gaming peripherals at BW2026 in China, the Hunter LS68 optical keyboard and the Hunter Blade 60 controller. Both products feature an 8,000Hz polling rate, making high-speed input their biggest shared feature. Thunderobot has not announced pricing, a release date, or international availability for either device.

The Hunter LS68 is built around Thunderobot’s self-developed linear analog optical switches. The keyboard supports Rapid Trigger with adjustment precision as fine as 0.01mm, giving users more control over key activation and reset. This type of adjustment has become increasingly popular among competitive players who prefer quick and repeatable key inputs.

The keyboard supports an 8,000Hz polling rate, allowing it to report key input up to 8,000 times every second. Thunderobot has paired the switches with a 220-grid anodized all-metal chassis that gives the keyboard a solid construction. Inside, five layers of sound-dampening material help reduce vibration and typing noise, while integrated FPC ambient lighting adds RGB effects without changing the clean exterior.

Thunderobot introduced the Hunter Blade 60 alongside the keyboard. The controller features an Xbox-style layout and supports an 8,000Hz polling rate in both wired and wireless modes. According to the company, wired end-to-end latency is around 0.2 milliseconds, although independent testing will be needed to verify that figure.

The Hunter Blade 60 comes with a custom Azure Dragon MAX adjustable joystick, Hall-effect sensors, micro-switch triggers, and optical micro-switch face buttons. Thunderobot has added six programmable macro buttons, giving players extra control options for different game genres and personal control layouts.

Both products were shown during BW2026 as upcoming gaming accessories, and Thunderobot has not shared complete technical specifications yet. The company has not confirmed when either product will reach stores or whether they will be sold outside China.

Gaming keyboards with Rapid Trigger support have become increasingly common over the past year, but an 8,000Hz polling rate is still found on relatively few models. The same applies to controllers, where support for 8,000Hz polling in both wired and wireless modes remains uncommon. By introducing both products together, Thunderobot is clearly placing extra attention on reducing input latency across its gaming accessory lineup.

More details about the Hunter LS68 and Hunter Blade 60 are expected once Thunderobot announces their official retail plans.
