ATK Launches RS6 V2 Hall Effect Keyboard With 8K Polling Rate and $99.98 Price

ATK Gear has introduced its RS6 V2 gaming keyboard, featuring Hall Effect switches, an 8,000Hz polling rate, and 0.001mm Rapid Trigger precision. The new Hall Effect Keyboard combines an aluminum chassis with the company’s fourth-generation Blazing Wind ULTRA solution, updated internal components, and independently adjustable dual-position LED lighting. ATK lists the keyboard at a promotional price of $99.98, reduced from its original $139.98 price.

The ATK RS6 V2 uses the company’s Blazing Wind ULTRA platform, which is designed to improve input responsiveness. According to the specifications shared by ATK, the keyboard features a 480M Esports MCU, 0.001mm Rapid Trigger precision, an 8K polling rate, a 256K scan rate, and 0.08ms transmission latency. ATK also advertises 0.28ms end-to-end latency.

The keyboard uses ATK Halo Switches with an independent, one-piece transparent design. Its dual LED positioning system allows users to adjust the top and bottom lighting positions separately. ATK has also included a digital-analog zoned power supply, which the company says supports lighting effects while maintaining precise operation.

On the construction side, the RS6 V2 features an aluminum chassis and a five-layer internal padding structure with a gasket-style design. ATK says this arrangement is intended to improve typing acoustics and provide a different typing feel compared to conventional keyboard constructions. The keyboard also retains the angular design associated with the RS series, with illuminated switches and a revised exterior.

ATK is advertising the RS6 V2 at $99.98, compared to its listed original price of $139.98. The promotional material states that availability begins November 5 at 7:00 PM PT. The launch promotion also includes several accessories, such as the ATK Blaze Air Mousepad, color-matched hollow metal keycaps, custom contrast-color accent keycaps, and an RS-series carrying case. The company lists separate prices for these accessories, although buyers should check the purchase conditions to confirm which offers qualify as gifts with purchase.

With its 8K polling rate, Hall Effect switches, and Rapid Trigger functionality, the ATK RS6 V2 targets competitive gamers looking for a keyboard with adjustable input behavior and customizable lighting. Its advertised $99.98 price also places it in a competitive segment of the gaming keyboard market. Independent testing will be needed to establish how its advertised latency and Rapid Trigger performance compare with other Hall Effect keyboards.
