NEW YORK, July 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Gaming peripheral brand ATTACK SHARK has announced
the launch of its R98 HE, a new flagship competitive magnetic switch keyboard designed
to raise the standard for high-end hall-effect magnetic switch keyboards. Targeting
professional gaming, office productivity, and enthusiast customization in one integrated
device, it is one of the few magnetic switch keyboards on the market to combine 
a distinctive 98% layout with a front-facing RGB lightbox.

The R98 HE introduces a dual carbon fiber composite configuration, pairing a forged-
texture carbon fiber composite top cover with carbon fiber composite keycaps. The
material choice delivers high rigidity, pressure resistance, and long-term structural
stability, helping prevent deformation while supporting the precise actuation demands
of rapid-trigger magnetic switch play.

A key visual and functional highlight is the keyboard’s differentiated 98% layout
with an integrated front RGB lightbox, a distinctive design element rarely found
on magnetic switch keyboards, most of which rely solely on bottom-facing RGB backlighting.
By projecting illumination forward, the lightbox creates greater visual depth and
a more immersive, layered lighting effect, enhanced by 22 dedicated dynamic RGB 
effects. The layout retains an independent number pad, separated arrow keys, a full
F-row, and editing keys, balancing competitive gaming control with daily office 
efficiency.

Performance is centered on a new-generation hall magnetic sensing algorithm designed
for competitive FPS gaming. The R98 HE supports 0.005 mm rapid-trigger adjustment
with zero dead zone, enabling more precise counter-strafing in titles like Counter-
Strike 2, faster repeated key inputs for techniques such as bunny hopping, and responsive
micro-movement control for holding tight angles or peeking in VALORANT. Powered 
by a customized high-frequency gaming chip, the R98 HE combines a 256K scan sampling
rate with true 8000 Hz polling to achieve ultra-low 0.08 ms latency, ensuring every
keystroke is captured and executed with exceptional speed and consistency during
fast-paced competitive matches.

The keyboard also emphasizes typing stability and sound quality with a dual acoustic
design. An aluminum alloy positioning plate minimizes resonance by increasing structural
rigidity, while a 5-layer sound dampening foam stack reduces cavity noise, working
together to produce a cleaner, more consistent magnetic switch sound.

ATTACK SHARK’s self-developed custom magnetic switches feature fast response, crisp
rebound, a pure bottom-out sound, and a contactless electromagnetic structure rated
for 100 million keystrokes. Full-key hot swapping supports a range of high-performance
gaming magnetic switches, allowing mixed switch setups across gaming and productivity
zones.

Additional features include a CNC aluminum alloy knob with anodized coloring, default
system volume control, software-based customization, and web-based driver support
for key mapping and adjustment.

With the R98 HE, ATTACK SHARK extends its commitment to professional e-sports gaming
mice, e-sports keyboards, customized mechanical keyboards, and accessories, serving
global players through accessible pricing, high standards, customization, and continuous
innovation.
