FAQs about ATK Gaming Keyboards

What type of keyboards are primarily sold on this page?

This page primarily offers high-performance magnetic (Hall Effect) gaming keyboards specifically designed for esports enthusiasts. We also provide a selection of high-performance mechanical keyboards to cater to the diverse needs and preferences of different players.

What is a magnetic (Hall Effect) keyboard, and what are its advantages?

A magnetic keyboard is a new type of keyboard that uses magnetic field induction to actuate keys. Compared to traditional mechanical keyboards, its main advantages are its adjustable Rapid Trigger (RT), allowing you to customize the key's actuation and reset points with a precision of up to 0.001mm for the fastest in-game response. It also offers faster response times due to the lack of physical contact points, leading to quicker signal transmission. Furthermore, this design results in higher durability because there is no physical wear and tear, extending its lifespan beyond traditional switches, and provides a smoother, frictionless keystroke.

What does the "RT Range" in the product description mean?

"RT" is an abbreviation for "Rapid Trigger." The RT range, such as 0.001mm to 3.3mm, refers to the customizable depth at which a key press is registered. You can precisely set how deep a key needs to be pressed to actuate and how high it needs to be lifted to reset, all configured through the software according to your gaming habits and needs. This feature is especially crucial for games that require rapid, repetitive keystrokes, like FPS or rhythm games.

How should I choose between different keyboard models (e.g., ATK RS6 and ATK EDGE 60 HE)?

Choosing the right keyboard depends on your personal preferences and primary use case. The main difference lies in the layout size: the ATK EDGE 60 HE is a 60% layout, which is extremely compact as it removes the function row and arrow keys to maximize desk space for mouse movement, making it ideal for FPS players who prioritize a minimalist setupa. In contrast, the ATK RS6 is a 65% layout that retains dedicated arrow keys while remaining compact, striking a better balance between gaming and daily typing tasks. Both models feature high-quality aluminum cases, though specific versions like the RS6 Ultra offer more variety in design, coating, and color. We recommend making your decision based on your need for desk space, your reliance on arrow keys, and your personal aesthetic preferences.

The key difference is layout: the ATK EDGE 60 HE is a 60% keyboard without arrow keys, maximizing desk space for FPS gamers. The ATK RS6 is a 65% keyboard with arrow keys, offering a better balance for gaming and daily typing. Choose based on your need for desk space versus dedicated arrow keys.

Can I replace the keycaps and switches on these keyboards?

You can easily customize your keyboard's look and feel. All our keyboards feature a standard cross-stem design and Cherry profile, making the keycaps compatible with a vast range of third-party sets. For deeper personalization, our magnetic keyboards are also hot-swappable. While their unique technology prevents the use of regular mechanical switches, they are compatible with other popular high-performance magnetic switches like the TTC RGB Magneto, Gateron Jade Pro, or Gateron Jade Gaming, allowing you to fine-tune your keyboard's feel and performance.

Do these keyboards support RGB lighting effects?

Yes, most of our keyboards support full RGB lighting effects. The lighting effect is enhanced by the switch's design; for instance, some switches have light guides or transparent casings for better illumination. The keyboards support various dynamic modes, which can be personalized via the driver software or switched using key combinations.
