FAQ

Use this text to share information about your product or shipping policies.

What is the ATTACK SHARK R98 HE?

The ATTACK SHARK R98 HE is a 98-key Hall Effect gaming keyboard and rapid trigger keyboard with Ice Shark magnetic switches, adjustable actuation, 8000Hz polling, a numpad, and a CNC media knob.

Is the R98 HE a full-size keyboard?

It is a compact 98 keyboard rather than a traditional 104-key full-size model. This keyboard with numpad keeps number-entry functionality while taking up less desk space.

Is the R98 HE wireless?

No. It is a USB-C wired gaming keyboard designed for a stable connection and consistent low-latency performance.

How do Rapid Trigger and adjustable actuation work?

As a magnetic switch keyboard and adjustable actuation keyboard, the R98 HE lets you set the actuation point from 0.1mm to 3.4mm. Rapid Trigger resets a key as you release it, while the listed 0.005mm figure refers to RT detection accuracy.

What do the 8000Hz polling rate and 256K scan rate mean?

As an 8000Hz polling rate keyboard, it can send input reports to the PC up to 8,000 times per second, while the 256K scan rate refers to internal key-position scanning. The official page also lists a manufacturer-rated latency of 0.08ms.

Does the R98 HE support full-key rollover and SOCD adjustment?

Yes. The R98 HE supports full-key rollover for registering multiple simultaneous keypresses. Its web-based driver also provides settings for Rapid Trigger, Snap Tap, DKS, MT, and TGL. Snap Tap manages opposing directional inputs in a way commonly associated with SOCD-style control. Check current game, platform, and tournament rules before enabling Snap Tap in competitive play.

Is the R98 HE good for Valorant and CS2?

Yes. It is relevant for players looking for a gaming keyboard for Valorant or a gaming keyboard for CS2 because Rapid Trigger, adjustable actuation, and Snap Tap support fast movement changes and repeated inputs. Check current game or tournament rules before using Snap Tap in competitive play.

Is the R98 HE hot-swappable?

Yes. It is a hot swap keyboard with multi-switch compatibility, but replacement magnetic keyboard switches must be compatible with the board. Standard three-pin or five-pin mechanical switches should not be assumed to work.

Is the entire keyboard made from carbon fiber?

No. It is a carbon fiber keyboard in the sense that every version uses a carbon fiber composite top case. Ink Shade and Ice Ninja include forged carbon fiber composite keycaps, while Black and Moonlight use PBT keycaps.

Is the R98 HE suitable for typing and office work?

Yes. The numpad is useful for spreadsheets and number entry, and a deeper actuation setting can help reduce accidental presses during everyday typing.

What does the R98 HE sound and feel like?

The linear Ice Shark magnetic switches are designed for smooth travel. Its five-layer dampening stack uses PE plate foam, an IXPE switch pad, PET sound layers, switch-socket foam, and bottom silicone to reduce hollow case noise.

Can I customize the keys, Rapid Trigger, and RGB?

Yes. It works as a custom gaming keyboard with a web-based keyboard driver and downloadable software for remapping keys, adjusting actuation and Rapid Trigger settings, creating macros, and changing RGB profiles.

What is the front RGB light strip, and can it be controlled separately from the key backlighting?

The front RGB light strip is an independent ambient lighting strip positioned beneath the keyboard’s front edge. It creates a soft diffused glow across the desk and operates separately from the per-key RGB backlighting. You can use the web-based driver to adjust its color and lighting effects independently.

What media controls and device support does the R98 HE include?

The R98 HE includes a CNC aluminum multimedia knob for convenient media control. The official specifications list support for both PC and Mac.
