ATK has expanded its gaming peripheral lineup with the launch of the RS63 Air Hall Effect Keyboard, a compact model designed for competitive gaming. The new Gaming Keyboard combines a 63% layout with Hall Effect magnetic switches, high-speed input performance, and customizable trigger settings, offering features that have become increasingly popular among esports players. The keyboard is available through the ATK Store with a launch price of $59.98, reduced from its regular retail price of $89.98.
The RS63 Air is built around a compact 63% ANSI layout, making it suitable for gamers who prefer more desk space for mouse movement. This layout keeps the essential keys while reducing the overall footprint, making it a practical option for FPS and competitive multiplayer titles. ATK also includes a CNC aluminum wrist rest with an integrated RGB light strip, while the keyboard itself features a Ripple Light Blade design available in both black and white color options.
Instead of traditional mechanical switches, the RS63 Air uses magnetic Hall Effect switches that support adjustable actuation distances. Through the ATK HUB software, users can fine-tune each key to match their preferred input sensitivity. The keyboard also supports Rapid Trigger technology, allowing keys to reset and activate more quickly during repeated presses, which can be useful in fast-paced games.
Performance is one of the main highlights of the RS63 Air. ATK rates the keyboard with an 8,000Hz polling rate, a 32KHz scan rate, and an input latency of just 0.08ms. Combined with N-Key Rollover support, these specifications are aimed at providing fast and consistent input recognition during gameplay.
The keyboard also includes several features commonly found on enthusiast gaming keyboards, including hot-swappable switch support, south-facing RGB lighting, screw-in PCB stabilizers, Cherry-profile PC keycaps, and a wired USB Type-C connection. Users can customize lighting effects, actuation points, and key behavior through ATK HUB software.
Inside the retail package, buyers receive everything needed to get started, along with a few accessories for future customization.
