ATK RS6+ LEVIATAN Magnetic Switch Keyboard
My Daily Driver and Keyboard of Choice
I have over 40 years of programming experience using a variety of languages over the course of my career to develop real-time solutions for real-world problems.
Keyboards connect us to the world and, as a keyboard enthusiast, I am searching for the ideal keyboard.
The ATK RS6+ and RS6 Ultra+ are my keyboards of choice, and both are available at very reasonable prices. The specifications on these keyboards are second to none:
Scanning Rate: 256000 Hz
Polling Rate: 8000 Hz
Latency: 0.08 ms
End-To-End Latency: 0.28 ms
RT Range: 0.001 mm
The latest addition to my collection is the ATK RS6+ LEVIATAN Collaboration Limited Edition, and the $119.98 USD price is a small investment to make for one of the fastest keyboards on the market.
The differences between the RS6+ and the RS6 Ultra+ are few:
Switches: ATK Snow Blade Switches vs ATK Ice Blade Pro
Keycaps: PC Frosted-Top Keycaps vs 5-Side Dye-Sub PBT Keycaps
Position Plate: Aluminum vs FR4 Gold
Internal Padding: Silicone Foam vs PORON Foam
The LEVIATAN Edition has 5-Side Dye-Sub PBT keycaps.
Customization
The ATK HUB 3.2.18 Software is intuitive and easy to customize. It is one of the better keyboard customization applications I have used.
Conclusion
I prefer the Iceblade switches over the Snowblade switches. Unfortunately, you can't choose your preferred switch when ordering. I will likely swap out the Snowblade switches with my favourite Gateron Spark switches.
I highly recommend the ATK RS6 series keyboards, as they offer outstanding performance for gaming and typing alike. The LEVIATAN Edition includes everything you need and makes for a premium experience without the hefty price tag.
