ROG RX Red optical mechanical switches are the first to be developed by ROG. Extensive research, testing and fine-tuning have resulted in switches with a 1.5 mm actuation point for lightning-fast inputs. An initial force of 40 gf prevents accidental keystrokes, and goes all the way up to 55 gf for perfect rebound feedback. ROG RX Red switches provide a smooth and linear feel to give you near instantaneous response the moment you strike the key.

A Closer Look at ROG RX
Optical Mechanical Switch
Light-Speed Actuation
Unlike traditional mechanical switches, the ROG RX optical mechanical switches have near-zero debounce delay that allow your triggers to be ahead of your opponents always.
Wobble-Free Balanced Keypress
The ROG RX optical mechanical switch utilizes a unique hollow square stem, four corner latches and X-stabilizer to eliminate keystroke wobble and ensures consistent keystrokes.
CONSISTENT KEYSTROKE
Under lab conditions, ROG RX optical mechanical switches show little to no force curve deviance when keys are pressed on different areas of the keycap.

Consistency Breeds Muscle Memory
Gaming control comes from muscle memory, and your equipment plays a big part in that. The ROG NX Red and NX Brown mechanical switches are tuned to actuate and reset at the same point, while the ROG NX Blue mechanical switches are tuned to a near zero 0.1 mm actuation versus reset point. All ROG switches give you superb trigger and reset consistency, resulting in better gameplay experiences.
Ensuring Consistent Keystrokes
ROG NX mechanical switches exceed industry standards, offering a 5 gf force tolerance and +/ 0.4 mm total travel distance to provide consistent keystrokes for unparalleled gaming experiences.
