Know before you buy
Hall Effect switches use magnets to detect key presses rather than physical contact points. This allows for rapid trigger functionality, meaning the key registers as soon as you press it and resets the moment you release it, providing a significant speed advantage in competitive gaming.
No, the EK75 RT is designed specifically for magnetic switches. While it features magnetic hotswap capabilities, you must use compatible magnetic switches rather than standard mechanical ones.
The keyboard is compatible with both macOS and Windows, as well as Android and iOS. Please note that some specialized software features or lighting configurations may be best accessed via a Windows environment.
The EK75 RT is a wired-only keyboard that connects via a USB-C cable. This ensures a stable 1ms low-latency connection, which is ideal for high-stakes gaming where every millisecond counts.
No, the 75% layout is a compact design that omits the dedicated numeric keypad to save desk space. It does, however, retain the essential function keys and arrow keys for a balance between size and utility.
The integrated knob provides intuitive control for quick adjustments, such as volume or other media settings, allowing you to make changes without needing to navigate through software menus.
