Know before you buy
Unlike traditional mechanical switches that rely on physical contact points, these magnetic switches use sensors to detect key depth. This allows for near-zero latency, ultra-fast actuation, and the ability to customize exactly how far you need to press a key for it to register.
Yes, the adjustable actuation points allow you to fine-tune the sensitivity of your keys. You can set shorter distances for rapid-fire inputs in games or longer distances to prevent accidental presses while typing.
An 8K polling rate means the keyboard reports its status to your computer 8,000 times per second. This significantly reduces input lag compared to standard keyboards, providing a more responsive feel that is essential for high-level competitive gaming.
Yes, the Rapid Trigger range is fully adjustable. This feature allows the key to reset the moment you start lifting your finger, enabling faster repeated inputs compared to traditional switches that require a full reset.
The keyboard features a premium CNC-machined aluminum case, which provides a rigid, heavy, and durable foundation. This construction minimizes deck flex and offers a much more solid, high-end feel than standard plastic gaming keyboards.
The Hex 80 uses a standard 80% layout, making it compatible with most aftermarket keycap sets. However, ensure your chosen set supports the specific bottom row and layout configuration of this board.
