    The ROG HFX Magnetic Switches utilize POM plastic for its stem and bottom housing, and PC for the top housing to provide ultrasmooth keystrokes. Additionally, the walled stem design enhances stability and keeps out dust. Special tuning is also done, coupled with factory pre-lubing, to give the ROG HFX Magnetic keystroke a very solid and clean sound.

    1. Top Housing

      PC top housing with the stem contact areas highly polished to ensure keystroke smoothness.

    2. Stem Design

      The walled stem design enhances keystroke stability and protects against dust intrusion, while maintaining compatibility with most keycaps.

    3. Stem Material

      Made of composite POM material with low friction coefficient for smooth keystrokes.

    4. Based Housing

      POM bottom housing for deeper keystroke sound.

Customizable Actuation Point

The ROG HFX Magnetic Switches offer an adjustable actuation range from 0.1 to 4.0 mm to cater to all typing preferences. Tweaking the actuation point can be done via the multi-function button and touch panel, or through Armoury Crate software.

Rapid Trigger

Traditional mechanical switches require a return to the reset point before the next click registers. With ROG HFX Magnetic Switches and the Rapid Trigger feature, the switch resets instantly as it moves upward, delivering maximum counter-strafing potential with minimal effort.

Speed Tap Mode

In Speed Tap mode, as soon as the system detects the input of two keys (e.g. A and D), it will prioritize the last input and automatically release the previous one. This means that in FPS games, pressing two opposing directional keys will no longer cause the character to stop moving. Instead, directional changes can now be done immediately without releasing the previous key, eliminating any time gap for counter-strafing and ensuring precise aim every time.


*Speed Tap feature is turned off by default. Simultaneously press Fn + Tab keys to activate.

    ROG RX Red Low-Profile Switches provide a 1.0 mm actuation point for fast input. Initial actuation force is optimized to 40 gf to prevent accidental keystrokes, and it extends to 55 gf for perfect rebound feedback. As a result, keystrokes are instantaneous and have a smooth and linear feel.

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.
