Professional-grade responsiveness

Win with the power of magnets! MGX switches can have dynamically resetting actuation points, enabling rapid taps that don't require the switch to physically reset. You can even hotswap in your favorite compatible magnetic switches.

*For optimal accuracy, the recommended range is 0.3mm-3.6mm. Setting the actuation outside the recommended range may result in higher sensitivity and affect consistency.

Overview

Key Features

  • Hall Effect Magnetic Switches (MGX Hyperdrive)
    Magnetic switches sense key position without physical wear points, letting you set actuation from hair-trigger 0.1mm for rapid gaming inputs to 4.0mm to prevent accidental presses. Hot-swappable, pre-lubricated, and rated for 150 million keypresses.
  • 96% Form Factor with Full Functionality
    Full-size functionality—including numpad and arrow keys—in a TKL-sized footprint. Eliminates wasted gaps between key clusters, freeing 15-20% more mouse space compared to traditional full-size keyboards without sacrificing any keys.
  • 8,000Hz Polling Rate with AXON Technology
    Transmits keypress data 8,000 times per second (every 0.125ms vs. 1ms on standard boards). AXON technology ensures instant input registration, eliminating lag for noticeably snappier, more responsive gameplay.
  • Integrated 1.9" LCD Screen + Virtual Stream Deck
    Embedded color screen displays custom animations, system stats, or transforms into a streaming control center with Virtual Stream Deck software. Control scenes, triggers, and macros without a separate Stream Deck device—saving $150+.

Use Cases

  • Competitive FPS/MOBA Gaming
    8,000Hz polling and adjustable Hall Effect switches (0.1-4.0mm) enable ultra-responsive trigger points for movement keys while deeper actuation prevents misclicks on less-used bindings. 96% layout maximizes mouse space while retaining number keys for weapon switching. Rapid Trigger registers inputs before full reset, enabling counter-strafing and rapid directional changes.
  • Content Creation & Streaming
    Virtual Stream Deck converts 6 G-keys and LCD into a programmable control surface for scene switching, audio triggers, and macros—eliminating need for a separate $150+ Stream Deck. Rotary dial enables instant audio mixing, while LCD displays system monitoring or custom branding. Quad-layer dampening prevents keyboard noise from overpowering microphone audio.
  • Data-Intensive Productivity (Finance, Accounting, Engineering)
    Full numpad in TKL-sized footprint suits spreadsheet work, CAD programs, and financial modeling. Double-shot PBT keycaps resist all-day typing wear. Customizable RGB highlights frequently-used hotkeys. Macro programming enables one-touch execution of complex command sequences.
  • Hybrid Gaming + Work Setup (Single-Keyboard Solution)
    Game Mode locks Windows key during gaming. FN shortcuts provide media controls. Aluminum frame with magnetic wrist rest offers all-day comfort. Hot-swappable switches let users experiment to find the perfect balance between typing comfort and gaming performance.
