A4Tech Bloody AT98 Renegade

The wired gaming keyboard in 1800 format maintains the numeric keypad while the navigation cluster is compressed and fits into a compact body with a width of 385 mm, which is five to six centimeters shorter than standard full-sized models. This layout allows the user to maintain functionality without sacrificing desk space. The Alpha Optical linear switches operate by interrupting a light beam, eliminating physical wear of the contacts, hence the declared lifespan of 100 million clicks.

But their main feature is the adjustable actuation point ranging from 0.8 to 3.0 mm with four preset profiles: choose minimal travel for instant response in shooters or increase it for more deliberate typing. An outstanding feature is the eXact Reset system with three key return modes: Hyper Z-Force with a reset at 0.3 mm for maximum speed of repeated presses, Extreme X-Force with a threshold of 0.8 mm for more controlled feedback, and classic mode with a standard reset point.

The A4Tech Bloody AT98 Renegade keyboard is equipped with PBT keycaps, which the manufacturer positions as lighter for faster return after pressing. It has a polling rate of 1000 Hz, and keypress registration is protected by Anti-Ghosting and full N-Key Rollover. The RGB lighting works in seven modes, and the gaming mode disables system keys. The cable is non-detachable, with a USB-A connector.
