  • LINEAR & SWIFT

    ROG NX Red Mechanical Switches provide a 1.8mm actuation point for fast input. Initial actuation force of 40gf helps prevent accidental keystrokes, and it extends to 55gf for perfect rebound feedback. As a result, keystrokes are instantaneous and have a smooth and linear feel.
