Know before you buy
The magnetic switches allow you to customize how far down you need to press a key before it registers. You can set it as sensitive as 0.1mm for lightning-fast gaming responses or increase the distance to 4.0mm to prevent accidental keystrokes while typing.
No, this keyboard uses specialized magnetic switches. While they are hot-swappable, you must use compatible magnetic switches rather than standard mechanical ones.
The 60% layout removes the number pad, arrow keys, and function row to save desk space. While it is excellent for gaming and minimalist setups, you will need to use function key combinations to access media controls or navigation keys.
While the keyboard has onboard lighting modes, you will need to download the Redragon software to fully customize macros, adjust the trigger points, and fine-tune the per-key RGB lighting.
An 8K return rate means the keyboard communicates with your PC 8,000 times per second. This significantly reduces input latency, providing a more responsive feel that is particularly beneficial for competitive, high-speed gaming.
Yes, the two-tone injection-molded PBT keycaps are highly resistant to wear and shine. They offer a textured, premium feel that holds up much better over time compared to standard ABS plastic keycaps.
