- ABOUT ROG RX RED SWITCH - Linear and Swift, ROG RX Red Optical Mechanical Switches are the first to be developed by ROG. Extensive research, testing and fine-tuning have resulted in switches with a 1.5mm actuation point for lightning-fast inputs. An initial force of 40g prevents accidental keystrokes, and goes all the way up to 55g for perfect rebound feedback. ROG RX Red switches provide a smooth and linear feel to give you near instantaneous response the moment you strike the key.

- READY FOR WORK OR PLAY - The Quick-Toggle Switch prepares ROG Strix Scope RX mechanical keyboard for gaming or the daily grind, toggling the top row between Media or Function (Fn) key input – so it's easy to switch modes for work or play.
