Wallhack at Tokyo Game Show 2026

Tokyo Game Show 2026 ran from September 17 to 20 at Makuhari Messe, and we were there with the K-001 keyboard and the M-001 mouse. Both were set up for visitors to try, with our team on hand to answer questions. Away from the booth, we hosted a community night at a gaming café in Tokyo and closed the week by launching the M-001.

This is a look back at how it went, and what's next for the M-001.

The K-001 and M-001, Hands-On

The booth was white from end to end. It looked nothing like a typical gaming booth, which was the point, and it was easy to spot from across the hall.

The K-001 and M-001 were on the table and ready to use. Members of the Wallhack team walked people through the details, from materials to the way each part is finished. For most visitors, it was the first chance to feel either product in person instead of through a screen.

Why Japan Matters to Us

Japan is home to more gaming hardware than almost anywhere. We'd argue the players here are the most discerning in the world.

Putting our products in front of them was exciting. It was also a nervous few days for the team.

Then people picked them up. The first reaction was usually to the build quality and the finish. After that, visitors wanted to go through the details one by one, and listened closely as we explained the thinking behind each feature.

That meant more to us than anything else at the show. A spec sheet lists materials and numbers, but it can't tell you how a product feels in your hand. Judging by the conversations at the booth, that came through.

The custom Wallhack bags we handed out also ran out shortly after opening each day. We didn't expect that kind of turnout, and we're grateful to everyone who came by.

A Night at a Tokyo Gaming Café

The booth wasn't the only thing we did that week. We also ran events to meet the community outside the show floor.

At a gaming café in Tokyo, we hosted an evening with former pro Apex player Lyric as our guest. The room was full of players who knew what they were doing, and the 1v1 matches against Lyric were a highlight of the night. Lyric didn't win them all.

It was another reminder of how high the level is in Japan. And for a company that makes gear for people who play, a gaming café is about as close to home as an event venue gets.

The M-001 Launch Stream

The M-001 launch closed out our week at Tokyo Game Show. We had planned a community event for it, but bad weather forced us to cancel, so the launch moved to a livestream instead.

It was announced at short notice, and a lot of you still tuned in. The first batch of the M-001 sold out. Thank you to everyone who watched and ordered.

What's Next

The M-001 is sold out for now. Sign up to get notified when it's back. The K-001 page covers the keyboard in the meantime.

Thanks to everyone who visited the booth, played at the café, or watched the stream.
