Calculate Embedded Emissions for Unwrought Aluminium (HS7601)

Enter your input

Payable emissions (tCO₂e/t)

Total CBAM Cost (€)

Notes:
There may be a difference when calculating the price with respect to import volume, carbon price, and benchmark emissions, as the embedded formula may result in minor variations due to decimal rounding. Therefore, the actual value may vary.

CBAM is applicable to trade volumes starting from 50 metric tonnes. For trade volumes below 50 metric tonnes, CBAM does not apply.

Usage Procedure – How to use the CBAM Calculator Sheet

Enter or update values only in the INPUT
PARAMETERS section (Highlighted in blue) , including
the carbon price, benchmark emissions, CBAM
chargeable percentage (as per the phase-in year),
and imported quantity.

The system will automatically calculate the payable
emissions and the total CBAM cost (€) based on the
inputs provided.

Notes:
• Change any input value to automatically update CBAM cost.
• Formula used: Carbon price × payable emissions × quantity.
• Model aligned with CBAM supplier-side illustrative methodology.

Valkyrie enters aluminium keyboard market with Cyber68

Valkyrie has entered the aluminium gaming keyboard segment with the launch of the Cyber68, a new model that replaces the increasingly popular Hall Effect magnetic switches with analog optical switches while pairing them with a CNC-machined aluminium chassis.

The keyboard is scheduled to be showcased in greater detail at ChinaJoy 2026, where the company is expected to announce its remaining specifications.

Rather than following the current trend of magnetic switches, Valkyrie has opted for an optical sensing system built around a U-shaped reflective sensor. The company says the setup delivers Rapid Trigger accuracy of up to 0.01 mm, enabling the keyboard to register even the slightest key movement during fast-paced games.

Performance is another area Valkyrie is targeting. The Cyber68 supports a 16,000Hz polling rate, considerably higher than the 1,000Hz or 8,000Hz found on most gaming keyboards today, helping minimise the delay between a key press and its registration.

Aluminium body paired with carbon fibre

The Cyber68 is built around a CNC-machined aluminium case, giving it greater rigidity and durability than plastic alternatives. Valkyrie has also incorporated carbon fibre into the design, adding structural strength while giving the keyboard a more premium appearance.

Users can also replace compatible switches without soldering thanks to hot-swappable support, allowing the keyboard to be customised or repaired without replacing the entire unit.

Although Valkyrie has revealed the keyboard's core hardware, several details remain under wraps. Information on the layout, RGB lighting, connectivity, software, pricing and release schedule will be announced during the company's ChinaJoy presentation.

The Cyber68 is Valkyrie's first aluminium keyboard and signals the company's move into the premium gaming peripheral market, where aluminium construction, faster input response and user customisation have become key selling points.
