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 (~$253) to 1,900 yuan (~$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.
