Know before you buy
No, this PCB is specifically designed for Hall Effect magnetic switches. It is not compatible with traditional mechanical MX-style switches.
The Venom 60 HE follows the standard GH60 layout and is compatible with most 60% tray-mount cases. However, ensure your case provides enough internal clearance for the magnetic switch assembly.
No, the PCB uses web-based configuration software. You can customize your settings directly through a compatible browser without installing dedicated applications on your computer.
No, the Venom 60 HE does not include RGB lighting. It is designed with a focus on performance and low-latency input rather than aesthetics.
The Aluminum plate offers a stiffer, more rigid typing feel with a sharper sound profile. The FR4 plate provides a slightly more flexible typing experience and a deeper, more muted sound signature.
The 8000 Hz polling rate significantly reduces input latency by reporting the keyboard's state to your computer 8,000 times per second. This provides a more responsive feel, which is particularly beneficial for competitive gaming.
