The black model retains the same 96% layout and ROG HFX V2 magnetic switches as the existing version. ASUS Japan set the release date for July 17 at a price of 60,980 yen. The keyboard uses ROG Hall effect sensors, allowing actuation point adjustment in 0.01mm increments and rapid trigger for faster input response. Tri-mode connectivity includes ROG SpeedNova wireless, Bluetooth, and wired USB, with SpeedNova and wired connections supporting up to 8000Hz polling, reducing input latency to 0.125ms. A six-layer damping structure with PORON, IXPE, and silicone minimizes vibration and metallic noise.
