ROG switches are meticulously designed from the ground up, from actuation force to click ratio, so every keystroke feels unmistakably ROG.

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 1.5mm actuation point for lightning-fast inputs. An initial force of 40gf prevents accidental keystrokes, and goes all the way up to 55gf 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.

ROG RX Blue optical mechanical switches have a 1.5mm actuation point for lightning-fast input and tactile force of 65gf, which is the level preferred by most gamers. These game-changing switches provide a firm and clicky feel while delivering near-instantaneous responsiveness.

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.
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.
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.

The ROG RX optical mechanical switches feature a central LED, and each key stem diffuses light to create a stunning in-key lighting effect.
ROG switches are meticulously designed from the ground up, from actuation force to click ratio, so every keystroke feels unmistakably ROG.
The switches have lubricated stems and base housings that offer a smoother click feel and eliminate spring bouncing noises respectively.

ROG NX Snow mechanical switches utilize composite POM material for the stem with PC top housing and POM bottom housing to provide ultra smooth keystrokes, and the walled stem design enhances stability and prevents dust intrusion. Special tuning is also done, coupled with factory pre-lubing, to give the ROG NX Snow keystroke a very solid and clean sound, with “thocky” acoustics.
PC top housing with the stem contact areas highly polished to ensure keystroke smoothness.

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.
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.
