Know before you buy
As a barebone kit, the Venom 60HE Leggera arrives without pre-installed switches or keycaps. You will need to purchase compatible Hall effect switches and a keycap set separately to complete the build.
No, the Venom HE PCB is specifically designed for Hall effect switches. Standard mechanical switches are not compatible because they lack the magnets required for the board's rapid-trigger and adjustable actuation features.
These high rates significantly reduce input lag, resulting in a total latency of just 0.16ms. This provides a distinct advantage in competitive gaming where millisecond-level responsiveness is critical.
Yes, the kit is compatible with both O-ring and Tray mount configurations. This allows you to adjust the typing feel and flex of the board depending on your preference for a firmer or softer bottom-out.
The keyboard utilizes web-based firmware, which simplifies the process of updating settings and customizing your layout. You can manage your keymaps and actuation points directly through your browser without needing to install complex software.
You must use PCB-mounted stabilizers for the Venom 60HE Leggera. Ensure they are compatible with your chosen layout, whether you are building with the 6.25U or 7U Tsangan PCB.
