ATTACK SHARK R98 HE カーボンファイバー ラピッドトリガーキーボード マグネティックスイッチ

I’ve been pretty impressed with ATTACK SHARK ever since I got one of their gamepads for my laptop. So naturally, when I came across the R98 Gaming Keyboard, I decided to give it a try, especially since my old keyboard was starting to wear out and had issues with sticking keys.One thing I want to mention upfront, although it doesn’t affect the product itself, is the packaging. I’ve tried quite a few keyboards, and most offer a nice presentation and unboxing experience. This one came in decent packaging, but it wasn’t the best. Mine also arrived with a dented corner, although the keyboard itself was well protected. Inside, you get the keyboard, several cables, a keycap puller, a manual, and a few stickers. One thing I really liked about my first ATTACK SHARK product was the premium coiled USB cable, and I’m glad they included one with this keyboard as well. Most keyboards I’ve tried that comes with a basic cable, even if it’s braided, so it’s nice to see them include something a little more premium. That said, this is a fully wired keyboard, and the cable is long enough to comfortably reach my desktop tower.The keyboard itself feels substantial and well-built. I got the full black model, which features a cool carbon-fiber flake-style pattern across the front. The back is more understated, with a fairly standard design. The keycaps use the usual Cherry-style stems, making them compatible with most aftermarket keycaps, which is great because I may swap them out in the future. This is a compact, 98-key-style layout that retains the number pad while squeezing the right side of the keyboard closer together. Coming from a traditional full-size keyboard, it took me some time to get used to the more compact layout.Typing on it is a pleasant experience, although there is a learning curve. Besides getting used to the compact layout, I also had to adjust to the lack of the familiar tactile feedback I’m used to from Cherry MX Brown switches. However, the Hall effect magnetic switches offer a noticeable improvement in responsiveness when gaming. The keyboard also produces a pleasantly muted “cluck” rather than the typical “clack” you hear from many mechanical keyboards. I didn’t pay much attention to the sound at first, but after a month of use, I’ve come to appreciate how satisfying it is to type on.The keyboard also features RGB lighting, and there’s a generous amount of it. I especially like the light bar running along the back, which reminds me of a similar design from another brand. The translucent keycaps allow the south-facing RGB lighting to shine through with a diffused glow rather than being overly harsh or glaring. If you enjoy RGB, there’s plenty to appreciate here. However, there are a couple of drawbacks. If you’re someone who needs to look at the keys while typing, the translucent keycaps and lighting can make the legends harder to see, especially when trying to locate specific keys. The RGB effects also preset, with limited customization compared with what you might find on some more premium keyboards.Overall, I’m really impressed with the R98. This is my first keyboard with Hall effect switches, and the improved responsiveness has been a noticeable benefit for gaming. It also types well once you get used to the compact layout and different switch feel. The carbon-fiber flake-style design looks great, and the RGB lighting adds plenty of personality, although I may eventually switch to pudding keycaps to change the look and tone down the lighting a bit. There’s also a volume scroll wheel, which works without any issues, although I wish it were a little larger.At around $70 at the time of writing, the R98 is competitively priced. Considering its solid build quality, Hall effect switches, premium coiled cable, and overall feature set, it’s hard to beat for the money. If you’re looking for a responsive gaming keyboard with a distinctive design.

I've been a fan of Attack Shark products as great "bang for the buck" - It's pretty impressive how good 'value' keyboards are these days. Unfortunately, the R98 HE is a bit of a step down from their usual products. It works great, but sound profile is somewhat mediocre. It's not terrible, but it's not as deep as it could be. A bit more sound dampening foam would likely help here. The Enter key also has slight pinging, but the Spacebar is nicely damped and sounds great. I also find the shine-through is a little weak on the Function keys and the number keys.On the plus side, the knob is excellent and feels great. I love this design, and wish more applications would adopt a horizontal knob design. The keyboard also works with QMK (qmk.top) out of the box without issue. The included coiled cable is also a nice touch.Overall, I like this keyboard. It's hefty, feels robust and looks pretty good. But the sound profile isn't up to par in my opinion, especially knowing how other 'budget' offerings from Attack Shark have sounded great.

Ich habe die ATTACK SHARK R98 HE nun einige Zeit auf meinem Schreibtisch im Einsatz und muss sagen, dass sie optisch ein echter Hingucker ist. Das 98%-Layout ist für mich der perfekte Kompromiss: Ich behalte meinen Nummernblock für die tägliche Arbeit, spare aber dennoch einiges an Platz gegenüber einer klassischen vollen Tastatur. Die Verarbeitung fühlt sich dank des Gehäuses aus Kohlefaser-Verbundwerkstoff sehr hochwertig und massiv an – da wackelt oder verrutscht absolut nichts, selbst wenn es beim Zocken mal hektischer zugeht.Technisch ist das Keyboard ein Biest. Die magnetischen Switches sind in Sachen Reaktionszeit beeindruckend. Dass man den Auslösepunkt und den Rapid Trigger so extrem präzise einstellen kann, merkt man besonders in Shootern sofort. Die 8000Hz Abtastrate sorgt dafür, dass jeder Input unmittelbar übertragen wird. Allerdings sollte man sich etwas Zeit nehmen, um die Software bzw. das Web-Tool zu verstehen und die für sich perfekte Sensitivität zu finden. Stellt man den Auslösepunkt zu empfindlich ein, löst man bei einer bloßen Berührung schon aus.Ein paar Punkte sind mir im Alltag jedoch aufgefallen: Wer im Dunkeln schreibt, könnte enttäuscht sein, da die Tastenbeschriftungen nicht durchleuchtet werden. Die RGB-Beleuchtung ist zwar schick und hell, aber sie leuchtet eben nur zwischen den Tasten hindurch. Zudem muss man beim Kauf unbedingt auf das Layout achten, da es kein deutsches ISO-Layout ist – wer also zwingend auf ein deutsches Tastaturlayout angewiesen ist, wird hier Schwierigkeiten bekommen.Das Schreibgefühl an sich empfinde ich als sehr stabil, da die Tasten kaum seitliches Spiel haben. Beim Klang bin ich zwiegespalten: Die 5-fache Dämmung soll den Sound eigentlich optimieren, aber für mein Empfinden klingt sie etwas anders als erhofft – das ist aber vermutlich Geschmackssache. Alles in allem ist es ein extrem schnelles Werkzeug für kompetitive Spieler, die ein optisch außergewöhnliches Keyboard suchen und sich an das ANSI-Layout gewöhnen können.

The fact that the keys are translucent is SUCH a cool touch because so much more light comes through the whole thing. I do wish you could still see the letter labels better when it's dark but I'm not sure exactly how they could achieve that. The volume control knob is nice and feels great to use and the keys feel great to press. It feels kind of like a hybrid between a typical mechanical keyboard and a non-mechanical one, it's hard to explain but it definitely feels great to type on. Noise-level is in the middle, too. Not too loud to wake anyone up but a satisfying level of clickity clack for sure!

This is a really nice keyboard. It feels solid and chunky, with a substantial construction and pleasant feel that I appreciate independently of the price. Typing is comfortable with the default settings, and I haven't needed to adjust the magnetic switch sensitivity for normal use.The web-based configuration works well. I can remap keys, adjust actuation and dead zones, change the polling rate and configure the lighting without installing separate software. Settings can be applied to individual keys, selected groups or everything at once. There is considerable flexibility here, and it is easy enough to use that I actually find it useful.The layout has a couple of quirks. There is no dedicated End key, and Delete sits offset from Backspace rather than directly above it. Those positions can interrupt established habits. Remapping gives me options, though, including the ability for me to assign End to Insert and moving Insert elsewhere. Keycaps can also be swapped where they fit.The printed manual is sparse and contains some confusing wording. I have largely ignored it because the web tool covers what I need much better.I am evaluating this primarily as a keyboard for everyday typing, so I did not really dig into verifying the advertised accuracy or latency figures. What I can say is that it feels good, types well and offers extensive control over its behavior. At under $70 with the coiled cable included, I am extremely impressed with the package.

This keyboard set has some weird extras included with it, but on the whole, it's a joy to type on. It's designed for gaming and has all the bells and whistles, including a super fast speed. I love the knob on the right hand side for adjusting volume - always more efficient than up and down buttons. The mechanical feel is a joy and while you can hear it more than a standard keyboard, that's expected with a mechanical option and it feels and sounds great. It's a sturdy, heavy weight board that stays in place and probably not one you'd be hauling around with a laptop. It's designed for a stationary desktop computer and really works well. It has so much functionality, you have to be sure to keep the notes and shortcuts handy. We taped the basics from the instruction manual to the bottom of the keyboard. The height can be adjusted with the feet on the bottom for an alternate angle, which is nice, depending on the height of your work surface. The included USB-A to USB-C cables make sense. The one with the four-pin specialty adapter in the middle is a bit baffling to us. The keyboard features bright green trim and lots of bright LED color variation options. Those are a bit distracting in our use, but just seem to be mostly personal preference. The functional speed and feel of the keyboard makes it stand out and we were happy to throw our older one out. It also includes a small tool for switching keycaps, which we're not really into, but I know that can be important for many gamers.

The pattern on this is so cool. It's a bummer that it's wired, but it works well. You can change the lighting, I like that this version looks like ice cubes. This is the coolest keyboard I've ever had. Great ergonomically too, the keys are nice to click.

10/10 Tastatur allerdings in US Tastenausführung, in deutsch wäre sie noch geiler, die Tasten habe ich passend getauscht allerdings dank den wölbungen der Tasten stechen diese sehr heraus. ( Sehr sichtbar bei (-) und Y Z, keine öäü tasten)

Attack Shark has the kinds of products that excite me with their potential but in the case of this R98HE, left me very disappointed. In the past year magnetic/hall effect keyboards have gone through a huge growth in the space with amazing evolution in features, newfound affordability and better design, but this shark dives so far below the surface it is the least favorite of my now growing fleet of dozens of this type of board. The most obvious is that this is wired-only, when most boards in 2026 have gone tri-mode; as an early adopter of the tech I know well that this is due to the power required to do the constant polling to monitor the switches at all times - but this has been overcome by other brands. Still, there are ways to leverage continuous power to its fullest is you are forcing users to be tied to a wire anyway. The most obvious which is to have robust lighting that includes a LIT REACTIVE mode where the board is illuminated at all times, and produces visual lighting effects when a key is pressed - this board can't do that, at least not out of the box. Even my MCHOSE Jet 75, my first HE keyboard obtained when this type of board first became affordable and was wired only understood this and had some of the most amazing lit reactive effects I've seen. This board has some of the most limited and unattractive lighting I've seen in any mechanical or HE keyboard and even the SPEED at which the effects are played is puzzlingly SLOW in how they animate as if this thing has an inferior chip in it or something. To top it off, while the ad copy says you can program key-driven lighting in its upper box bar, this seems to be a mistranslation and you can't actually do anything key related with it whatsoever which would have been a nice compromise if I could have programmed it to make the lightbox reactive while leaving the main keyboard on at all times, but there's no reactive mode for the lightbox. On the color variation I got, the plastic covering the lightbox is green colored and while it goes with the physical coloring of the keys, it contaminates the RGB lighting and makes everything green-tinted, affecting customization. As for the rest of the keyboard, I don't like the layout as it makes puzzling decisions and wastes a ton of space; there's at least 3 keys worth of space wasted at the top F keys row with a space between ESC and F1, and a giant nonfunctional logo sticker that doesn't even light up, yet there is a side wheel for volume/mute which allows for so much more key space - yet they squandered it on a nonfunctional logo instead of giving it more keys or a LCD screen. Worse yet, there is PgUp/PgDown but only HOME and no End, so they really could have used the extra space to give it that but they didn't and this is infuriating for a 98% board when I have even 75% boards that have all 4. There are a few things I do like about the keyboard in that it provides a right angle USB cable to reduce port wear which I appreciate, and also a spiral cord option that has a detachable aviator-style breakaway, something I rarely see. I also like the cute shark stickers they include which add personality to the brand and your customization options. I found the typing on the board to be smooth and responsive and I like the thocky-ness of the switches despite being a tactile main, I thought these sounded very nice. Unfortunately the other design choices hijack the good things that are here and I'd be hard-pressed to use this over other choices. For the $60-$70 asking price, its not horrible for a 98% hall effect board but I expect these should be MUCH cheaper if they aren't already due to the wired limitation, so maybe this could still be worthwhile if the price drops once tri mode HE keyboards cause these wired-only boards to become completely obsolete.

The ATTACK SHARK R98 HE Wired RT 8K keyboard has turned out to be one of the most pleasant surprises I’ve added to my desk in a while. There’s a lot to like here, and most of it becomes obvious the moment you pick it up. The weight is fantastic — far heavier than my previous board — and that heft gives it a planted, stable feel that keeps it from sliding around during use. It feels premium in a way many keyboards in this price range simply don’t.The size hits a perfect middle ground. It’s not a full‑size board, but it’s definitely larger and more comfortable than the mini keyboard I was using before (impact being that, like my mini, some keys are in weird places - delete and insert in particular here). It fits my desk layout without overwhelming it, giving me more usable key real estate while still keeping things tidy. This is my first hall‑effect keyboard, and I was genuinely surprised by how satisfying the key action is. I’m a longtime Cherry switch fan, but this board has a smooth, responsive feel that’s enjoyable for both typing and gaming.The cabling options are another thoughtful touch. The included coiled cable looks great and works well, though I’ll probably switch to the straight cable for a cleaner permanent setup. Having both options included is a nice bonus.Where the keyboard stumbles is in its software and RGB ecosystem. The lighting is functional but limited — only preset patterns, adjustable through the Attack Shark software. It doesn’t integrate with SignalRGB or any other unified RGB platform, which is a big annoyance for me since the rest of my setup is synced. The other drawback is that all customization requires the OEM software or their web app (additional drivers and permissions). It works surprisingly well, but it means no QMK, VIA, or other open firmware tools. While not a show stopper, I am surprised by the number of premium keyboards that don't aim for wider ecosystem compatibility from the onset.Despite those limitations, the keyboard itself is excellent. It looks great, feels great, and types beautifully. Even with the RGB and software constraints, it’s likely to become my long‑term daily driver. If the ecosystem were more open, this would easily be a 5‑star board — but as it stands, it’s a very strong 4‑star keyboard with outstanding hardware and a few software quirks.

I love carbon fiber stuff, so I had to have this keyboard, and wanted to see how it was. And I’m glad I did try it out because the build quality is really solid that it has a good bit of weight to it, and the carbon Fiber composite design is really nice looking which the top of the shell has all on it which has a nice texture also, and the keycaps also is made the same with carbon fiber which has a frosted look when the backlighting is off or even on which gives a very cool look!The lightbar is amazing looking. it is very bright and very colorful and can be clearly seen even though it is on the rear of the keyboard that it shines on my desk or anything that is in front of it, and it can also be set to a solid color or effects on the keyboard or on the web software, even the backlighting is pretty bright and has a lot of colors. I also like the sideways volume knob which I can use it with my finger or turn it as a normal volume knob and it's made out of metal.And for a magnetic switch keyboard, sure it is all about gaming on it which it is great for, but as a normal daily keyboard also it does that very good also, the linear Ice Shark switches are really smooth and has a nice clacking sound so it is not a silent keyboard by any means but it still sounds great in my opinion, after all I am always wearing my headphones anyways. For rapid trigger I never use that on my magnetic switch keyboards but it does work when set on the web software, but I always do set the key travel which I set all the keys to 1.0mm, and I like to use 2K polling rate instead of 8k because I just don't need any higher.Now for connectivity, it is simple just plug in the included USB cable, It would've been nice if it was wireless and had a big battery also, but being only a wired keyboard is fine with me, plus the lightbar probably would use a lot of battery anyways that it wouldn't be worth it.Overall, it is a cool keyboard that looks great with the carbon fiber design, and gaming on it or just as a everyday keyboard it feels great. The value is also good in my opinion what this keyboard has to offer, so it does get a big thumbs up from me, I love it👍

This ATTACK SHARK R98 HE 8KHz Wired Hall Effect Gaming Keyboard has a very sleek feel to it. The carbon fiber gives it a visual and tactile upgrade. It has bright RGB lights that scroll across both the keys and the top bar. There are 2 built-in keyboard stands so prop it up. These hot-swappable keys have magnetic switches, and I love the feel and sound of the keys when typing and gaming. This is a USB-C plug to old school USB cabled keyboard that is easy plug and play. I'm big on RGB when gaming on my PC, and these lighting colors do not disappoint. It's a solid gaming keyboard. The carbon fiber makes it unique.
